Founding BizOps
SellScale is building an AI GTM Engineer called Selix (Selix.AI)—an AI Agent that handles your outbound pipeline. Think of it as a virtual teammate that lives in your Slack, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and email, working as your sales companion to generate top-of-funnel leads.
About the role
We’re hiring a Founding Business Operations lead to work directly with the founding team and customers. You'll act as the glue between customers, our agent, and the internal product team to ensure success. You’ll also be a power user of the product! This is an opportunity to future-proof your career in the 21st century by diving deep into AI Agents, learning from the latest advancements by OpenAI/Anthropic, LLMs, and the future of work.
The engineering-to-operations ratio at SellScale is 3:1, offering an unparalleled learning experience for non-technical professionals aiming to build venture-scale businesses. You won’t be an “associate”—you’ll be an owner, responsible for building and scaling key parts of the company.
Responsibilities
- Bridge the gap between customers, the AI agent (Selix), and the product team to drive customer success.
- Own projects end-to-end without requiring step-by-step guidance.
- Act as a power user of SellScale’s product, providing feedback and shaping its development.
- Interface with customers and partners, ensuring clear and effective communication.
- Manage operational KPIs, customer metrics, and dashboards to track success.
- Work cross-functionally across customer success, product, growth, and operations—this role is not siloed.
- Tackle tough challenges with a bias for action, even if it means doing things unscaleably at first.
Requirements
- Willing and able to work 5 days a week in-person at our San Francisco office.
- 2+ years of experience in operations, consulting, banking, private equity, sales, or a fast-paced startup environment.
- Ability to own projects independently without micromanagement.
- Comfortable with long hours, steep learning curves, and wearing multiple hats.
- Strong interest in agentic AI, outbound sales, or startup operations.
- Familiarity with tools like Notion, Excalidraw, and Zapier is a plus.
- Consultant-like analytical skills: comfortable with metrics, dashboards, and operational KPIs.
- Bias for action—prefer moving fast and iterating over perfection.
Attributes
- Runs through walls: Tackles tough challenges head-on, even if it means doing things unscaleably.
- Excellent communicator: Effectively interfaces with customers, partners, and internal teams.
- Affinity for growth: Quickly learns sales (specifically outreach) or has prior experience in it.
- Cross-functional: Works seamlessly across customer success, product, growth, and operations.
Reasons it may NOT be a fit
- You prefer a clearly defined operations playbook—this role requires figuring things out from scratch.
- You want remote or hybrid work—we are fully in-person in San Francisco.
- You prefer a large-company environment—this is an early-stage startup where everyone wears multiple hats.
Benefits
- Exposure to a wide range of business problems—from customer success to GTM to internal ops—and the opportunity to own projects end-to-end.
- Work closely with the founders and core team, with direct input on how the company operates and grows.
- Learn what it takes to build and scale an early-stage startup, especially one at the forefront of agentic AI.
- Equity ownership and responsibility, treating you as a true owner of the company.
Pay
- Base: $110k - $200k
- Equity: 0.5% - 1%
About SellScale
SellScale is building the first agentic revenue organization. The problem: enterprise sales spend is a multi-billion-dollar market, but sales—especially outbound—remains human-driven, subjective, hard to measure, and doesn’t scale like code. With advancements in agentic AI, LLMs, vector databases, and more, the future of sales is human + machine.
Our agent, Selix, has already seen success. We’re in the midst of the AI agent boom, solving a business’s #1 problem: how to grow revenue. Using chained LLM thinking and cutting-edge GTM tools, we help companies scale.
