Head of Operations ($180k-$250k) at BlueDot Impact

$180k - $250k

Jack and Jill AI

This is a job that Jill, our AI Recruiter, is recruiting for on behalf of one of our customers.

She will pick the best candidates from Jack's network

The next step is to speak to Jack.

Job Title: Head of Operations

Salary: $180k-$250k

Company Description: BlueDot Impact - $25M-funded AI safety and biosecurity talent accelerator

Job Description:

As the first operational leader for a $25M nonprofit, you will build the organizational backbone from scratch. You'll scale the team from 7 to 25, build a new San Francisco headquarters, and launch a founder residency program. This is a high-autonomy building role for a scrappy operator who thrives in fast-growth, high-stakes environments.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:
  • Rare level of autonomy with no COO or VP above you, owning everything from million-dollar grant disbursements to HQ design and lease negotiations.
  • Significant financial backing with $25M in funding to solve the accelerating global challenge of managing transformative AI and biosecurity risks safely.
  • Exceptional career narrative, moving from a small London-rooted team to a major San Francisco-based organization while building every operational function from zero.
What you will do:
  • Lead the end-to-end buildout of a new San Francisco headquarters, including site selection, lease negotiation, and office design to create a world-class workspace.
  • Operationalize a new founder residency hosting 20+ entrepreneurs, managing complex visa logistics, international travel, and housing for global talent cohorts.
  • Build and scale the entire people operations and recruiting engine to triple the team size to 25 within 12 months while maintaining high talent density.
The ideal candidate:
  • Proven experience scaling operations in a fast-growth startup, ideally moving from 10 to 50 employees as a Head of Ops or Chief of Staff.
  • Bias toward action and a "building" mindset, with a track record of creating systems from scratch rather than just maintaining existing playbooks.
  • High agency and sharp problem-solving skills, capable of navigating complex domains like international grant compliance, immigration law, and vendor management simultaneously.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

Step 3. Talk to Jack so he can understand your experience and ambitions.

Step 4. Jack will make sure Jill (the AI agent working for the company) considers you for this role.

Step 5. If Jill thinks you're a great fit and her client wants to meet you, they will make the introduction.

Step 6. If not, Jack will find you excellent alternatives. All for free.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
