Associate Technical Operations Leader

Location: Denver, CO (100% Onsite, Monday–Friday) Experience Level: 0–3 years Start Date: ASAP (2025 graduates preferred; not considering 2026 grads) Salary Range: $100,000–$145,000 DOE

About the Company: Our client is transforming global supply chains through cutting-edge AI technology. Their autonomous supply chain platform helps reduce carbon emissions, increase efficiency across the value chain, and improve the lives of millions of truck drivers while creating more jobs in B2B ecosystems. They operate in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a team-first, execution-driven culture. Built by a world-class engineering team, their platform simplifies complex business problems and enables seamless adoption for enterprise customers.

About the Role: The Associate Technical Operations Leader role is part of a highly selective Leadership Development Program designed for exceptional early-career talent. This is not a traditional entry-level position — it's a fast-track opportunity for high achievers who want real ownership, executive exposure, and rapid career acceleration. You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, operations, product, and customer success, taking responsibility for critical workflows and automation initiatives that directly impact enterprise customers.

Top performers will receive: Weekly 1:1 mentorship with the CFO, and The opportunity to work directly with the Founder/CEO on strategic initiatives.

What You'll Do:

• Technical & Operational Ownership: Own a core operational function or workflow, driving efficiency, scalability, and reliability. Lead automation and process improvement initiatives for enterprise customers. Analyze complex datasets to uncover bottlenecks and design technical solutions.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with engineering, product, and customer teams to align business and technical goals. Translate technical challenges into actionable business recommendations. Present insights and progress to senior leadership, including the CFO and CEO.
• Customer & Product Engagement: Work directly with enterprise customers to optimize workflows and solve operational challenges. Provide real-world insights to influence product strategy and roadmap. Support account teams by addressing high-impact operational needs.
• Strategy, Execution & Extreme Ownership: Drive projects end-to-end — from scoping and analysis through execution and measurement. Build metrics, dashboards, and models to track impact. Own deliverables and timelines with minimal oversight in a high-expectation environment.

Requirements: What We're Looking For:

• Education & Academic Excellence: Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (Engineering, CS, Data Science, Applied Math, Physics, etc.). Strong academic performance; top-tier universities preferred.
• Technical & Analytical Strength: Hands-on experience with tools such as Python, SQL, MATLAB, R, C++, or similar. Strong quantitative problem-solving and data-driven decision-making skills.
• Experience That Shows Impact: Internships, research, co-ops, or technical projects with measurable outcomes. 1–3 years of hands-on experience preferred.
• Leadership & Initiative: Demonstrated leadership in teams, projects, competitions, or entrepreneurial efforts. Self-starter mindset with a bias toward action and ownership.
• Communication & Collaboration: Comfortable working cross-functionally and presenting to senior leaders. Able to translate complex technical ideas into clear business insights.
• Mindset: Entrepreneurial, curious, resourceful, and quick to learn. Thrives in high-autonomy, high-accountability environments.

Benefits Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Weekly mentorship with the CFO
• Direct exposure to the Founder/CEO
• Ownership of high-impact initiatives from day one
• Blend of engineering, operations, strategy, and product
• Accelerated growth path in a technical, customer-facing role

Benefits & Perks:

• Competitive compensation package
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Company-paid life & short-term disability insurance
• Paid parking or transit pass
• Relocation assistance (when applicable)
• Modern downtown Denver office
• Daily coffee, drinks & snacks
• Team happy hours and events
