Business Operations Associate

Business Operations Associate

webAI is pioneering the future of artificial intelligence by establishing the first distributed AI infrastructure dedicated to personalized AI. We recognize the evolving demands of a data-driven society for scalability and flexibility, and we firmly believe that the future of AI lies in distributed processing at the edge, bringing computation closer to the source of data generation.

Our mission is to build a future where a company's valuable data and intellectual property remain entirely private, enabling the deployment of large-scale AI models directly on standard consumer hardware without compromising the information embedded within those models. We are developing an end-to-end platform that is secure, scalable, and fully under the control of our users, empowering enterprises with AI that understands their unique business. We are a team driven by truth, ownership, tenacity, and humility, and we seek individuals who resonate with these core values and are passionate about shaping the next generation of AI.

We are hiring a Business Operations Associate to work directly with the Vice President of Operations and the broader executive team to build our fast-growing Public Sector team. At this stage, the biggest accelerant to the Public Sector's success is not technology or customer demand - it's execution and coordination at scale.

This is a high-impact, generalist role at the center of our Public Sector business. You will own priorities on behalf of the executive team, translate leadership decisions into action, and build the internal structure needed to scale.

The role combines strategy, business operations, and special projects. This is an ideal role for someone in the first decade of their career who aims to grow into a chief-of-staff or leadership role in operations, strategy, or general management. You would receive direct mentorship and coaching from a blended team of former McKinsey consultants, technology leader, and government leaders.

Responsibilities:

• Own the execution of high-priority special projects across the growth, product, operations, delivery, and engineering functions.
• Translate leadership direction into clear workstreams, then track progress against goals, surface risks early, and help teams stay on track.
• Help run core operating cadences, including weekly reviews, leadership syncs, and planning cycles.
• Develop the strategy-setting insights and analytics that drive key decisions across the leadership team and its stakeholders.
• Identify gaps in existing systems and implement lightweight, scalable solutions.

Qualifications:

• 3-6+ years of experience in consulting, operations, or similar generalist roles.
• Demonstrated interest in the national security community, public sector organizations, and / or mission-driven technology.
• High ownership mindset and capacity to operate in ambiguity.
• Creative and gritty problem-solving skills, with the analytic ability to translate data into actionable insights.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with an executive audience in mind.

Preferred Skills:

• Startup experience is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with AI / tech companies.
• Technical background (academic or work experience).

We at webAI are committed to living out the core values we have put in place as the foundation on which we operate as a team. We seek individuals who exemplify the following:

• Truth - Emphasizing transparency and honesty in every interaction and decision.
• Ownership - Taking full responsibility for one's actions and decisions, demonstrating commitment to the success of our clients.
• Tenacity - Persisting in the face of challenges and setbacks, continually striving for excellence and improvement.
