Pear Vc
About the Role
We’re looking for an Operations Associate to join the founding team at Known and help execute the most exciting consumer launch of 2025. You’ll work closely with our Head of Operations - driving GTM strategy, accelerating partnerships, enabling recruiting, and keeping our internal engine running smoothly.
This is a rare chance to get in early at a well-funded startup ($10M seed from one of the top consumer VCs in SF), build an entirely new category in AI-powered dating, and take on real ownership from day one. You’ll move fast, learn fast, and help shape how Known enters the world.
What You’ll Do
Support GTM Strategy - coordinate launch plans, timelines, and cross-functional execution
Drive Partnerships - source, contact, and manage relationships with venues, creators, and brand partners
Coordinate Marketing Efforts - organize campaigns, events, and content operations with the growth team
Recruiting Support - help build pipelines, coordinate candidate experience, and keep hiring on track
Financial Ops - expense management, payment tracking, and helping maintain a healthy financial pulse
Work Directly With Founders - be a key part of daily decisions across product, growth, and operations
Operational Excellence - build processes that make us faster, smarter, and always improving
Who You Are
~1 year of experience in consulting, investment banking, or a high-performance environment
A highly organized operator - you make chaos feel like clarity
Strong communicator (written and verbal)
Comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into action
Scrappy, resourceful, and energized by doing whatever it takes to make us win
Excited about startups, tech, and redefining how people meet
Based in San Francisco - or ready to be here
Why Known
Massive opportunity - the future of dating needs a new model
Real ownership - equity in a company built to scale
High-trust, high-autonomy environment
Access & impact - work alongside founders daily and see your work go live fast
Backed by the best - $10M seed from top consumer VC in SF
Build a category-defining product that helps people connect offline, in the real world
