Head of Business Operations at Truth Systems
Job Description
At Truth Systems, we're building the only trust and safety software any organization will ever need. A protection layer for every individual.
We're laying that foundation with AI Governance. Our product Charter is an agent that monitors and flags misuse of AI in line with firm policies and client rules in real time. We're building always on, real time systems that keep people safe and organizations compliant without slowing down their work.
We are:
Small and well funded. We've raised $4M from world class investors like Gradient Ventures, Lightspeed, The Legaltech Fund, Y Combinator, and Pear VC. We are currently a team of 4. We are hiring thoughtfully, with 3 people in the next 6 months.
Intensely trustful + ownership. We optimize for impact per person by requiring high ownership from each team member. We hire experts, ambitious problem solvers, and generally unstoppable people, and we place a lot of trust in them. We prefer short (or no) meetings, full autonomy, and individualized schedules.
As our Head of Business Operations, you'll serve as a strategic partner to the founders - a force multiplier across execution, operations, and company growth. You'll drive alignment, design systems for scale, and ensure the company runs with focus and precision.
This is a foundational role: part Chief of Staff, part operator, part strategist. You'll work across every function - from go to market and finance to hiring and fundraising - ensuring that Truth Systems executes effectively as we grow from a small team to a high performing organization.
OutcomesStrategic Execution: Translate company priorities into clear operating plans, metrics, and systems that keep the team focused on outcomes.
Cross Functional Leadership: Partner with founders and leads across Product, Engineering, and GTM to ensure alignment and unblock execution.
Operational Excellence: Build and refine processes for planning, goal setting, hiring, and reporting.
Business Intelligence: Design and maintain dashboards, forecasts, and metrics to guide decisions across revenue, spend, and hiring.
Founder Leverage: Anticipate needs, manage key projects, and act as a thought partner to ensure critical initiatives move forward on time.
Operational Leadership: 1+ years in consulting, investment banking, business operations, or Chief of Staff-style roles in fast paced startups or technology companies.
Systems Thinker: Strong at turning ambiguity into structure - building scalable processes where none exist.
Analytical & Strategic: Comfortable with data analysis, financial modeling, and translating metrics into action.
Polished & Detail Oriented: Strong written and verbal communication, precise execution, and exceptional attention to detail.
Builder Mindset: Excited to roll up your sleeves, solve problems quickly, and help create the company's operating foundation.
Cross Functional Collaboration: Able to work seamlessly with engineering, product, and go to market teams.
Adaptability: Thrive in fast moving, high autonomy environments where priorities evolve quickly.
Operate at the center of the company. You'll work directly with the founders across product, GTM, and engineering - shaping priorities, driving execution, and ensuring the company runs with focus and precision.
Build the foundation for scale. You'll design the systems, metrics, and processes that allow Truth Systems to grow from a 4 person team into a high performing organization. Your work will define how we operate for years to come.
High impact, high trust environment. You'll have autonomy, visibility, and influence from day one. We move fast, minimize process, and empower you to create clarity and momentum across every part of the business.
