Chief Operating Officer

Company.ai is building a network of category defining AI products in stealth mode. Our first product, Email.com, is launching soon and marks the start of the portfolio/lab going live. Email.com How.com Face.com Notebook.com We believe the next decade belongs to vertical AI products that people actually use every day. Each product is standalone, and together they compound through shared identity, shared context, shared distribution, and shared learning loops. In the AI era, only a few can put it in front of millions of people every day. Distribution is the new defensibility. Competitors are spending millions on ads to explain what they do. We are what they're trying to explain. A global ecosystem built on network effects. We will own the surfaces people/businesses can't avoid. The Role We are looking for a COO who can build an operating function that scales with a multi-product company. Ultra efficient, deeply resourceful, always ahead of time, with line of sight into every corner of the business. The kind of operator who knows every corner of the internet, can find/build the right tool, vendor, contractor, community, or workaround for any problem, and lives and breathes a problem until it is fully solved, not just patched. Solutions ship clean, with no second order mess, no future complications, and built to scale so the same problem never costs us time twice.
