Business Operations Lead in Austin, Texas at Handoff AI

We're hiring a Business Ops Lead to serve as the executive arm of our COO and help translate leadership strategy into company-wide execution. In this role you'll own Handoff's operating system — from cycle planning and KPI dashboards to financial modeling, board materials, and high-priority special projects.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, isn't fazed by ambiguity, and wants to operate at all levels of a fast-scaling startup.

• Facilitate Handoff's departmental planning process — driving submissions, tracking progress, and holding teams accountable
• Maintain and continuously improve company-wide dashboards, KPIs, and operational tooling
• Support the COO on board decks, investor updates, and executive materials
• Build and maintain financial models; help prepare analysis for key business decisions
• Track departmental budgets and flag spend variances to the COO
• Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and renewals
• Codify work norms and operating standards as the company scales
• Assist with prep and logistics for company all-hands meetings and recurring leadership syncs
• Assist with planning & execution of internal events and company off-sites

• Background in investment banking, venture capital, consulting, or an early-stage startup
• Comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical level simultaneously — you can build a board deck in the morning and chase down a contract renewal in the afternoon
• Financial modeling skills — you build from scratch, not just edit templates
• Strong written communicator — your memos and decks are clear, tight, and ready to send
• Experience in high-growth startup environments preferred

• Competitive Salary + Equity
• Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
• 401(k)
• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Life & Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA)
• Top-Notch Equipment
• Team Offsites

If you're a sharp, hungry operator who wants to work directly with a COO building a company from the ground up — this is the seat. You'll see everything, own a lot, and grow fast.
