Virtual EA

Operations Associate

By pooling compute from many participants, incentivising their efforts, and preventing any single party from controlling a model's full weights, we're creating a genuinely open, collaborative path to frontier-scale AI.

As our Operations Associate, you'll be the person who makes things happen behind the scenes. You'll coordinate the meetings, dinners, travel and events our CEO runs with investors, partners, researchers and candidates, and you'll keep the administrative machinery running.

It is the best possible entry point into an AI startup for someone early in their career who is organised, fast and wants exposure to every part of the business. You'll start with coordination and admin and build up to owning your own operational projects.

Travel and logistics: Book and manage travel for the CEO and the team across Australia and the US, including conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR and beyond) and team offsites.

Work with the Events & Operations Associate and Chief of Staff on offsites, conference presence, our Tech Talks series and hosted dinners. Team administration: Run the admin that keeps the business moving: onboarding new starters, equipment and tooling requests, expense and invoice processing, vendor set-up, document formatting and polish, and keeping our records in Notion and Google Drive tidy and current.

Building Systems: 2 - 5 years in an administrative, coordination, executive support or operations role.

• You've worked within a funded startup environment at Seed, Series A or B stages or within Venture Capital or Private Equity.
• Proven work supporting an executive team and general operations
• Proven work experience coordinating events
• You write in clear, written English that is crafted by you - not an LLM
• Confident in Google Workspace. Exposure to AI, deep tech, research or crypto communities.

Remote-first culture with a regular cadence of team offsites and the opportunity to travel to the US.

Applicants must have professional-level English proficiency (written and spoken).

Pluralis is a remote team across Australia and the US. We'll reach out if we need help.

Backed by Union Square Ventures and other tier-1 investors, we're a world-class, deeply technical team of ML researchers. We view the world as a better place if we are able to implement what we are attempting, and Protocol Learning as the only plausible approach to preventing a handful of massive corporations monopolising model development, access and release, and achieving massive economic capture.
