About The Role

As a Member of Operations Staff at Edison Scientific, you will operate as a high-trust generalist embedded across the business wherever you're needed most. Projects will vary: standing up new business lines, building analytics infrastructure alongside engineering, supporting corporate development efforts, or helping teams navigate critical transitions. You will report to our Head of Operations and partner closely with teams across Edison to strengthen our operational backbone as we scale. This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the hardest problems at a company moving very quickly. You'll work directly with leadership and build relationships across every function. Scope and ownership will be significant — the path from here leads to functional leadership for those who want it. This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood.
