About the role
- ABOUT AFTERQUERY AfterQuery https://www.afterquery.com/ is an applied research lab curating data solutions for foundation model development.
- This is a rare opportunity to join a company at a defining moment in AI.
- Since raising our $30M Series A at a $300M valuation, AfterQuery has grown well over a $100M revenue run rate.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of founder- and leadership- assigned special projects from kickoff through delivery, driving decision-making, owning cross-functional initiatives, building operating cadences, and monitoring core business metrics.
- Build new operational capabilities from scratch: billing and revenue operations infrastructure, business development support, and other functions we stand up as we scale.
- Gather qualitative and quantitative data, synthesize what you find, and develop actionable recommendations.
- Assist with business development activities including research, outreach support, deal tracking, and preparing materials for founder-led conversations.
- Support recruiting end-to-end (sourcing, top-of-funnel outreach, interview coordination, work trials, candidate relationships, and external recruiter management) so hiring moves quickly and without gaps.
- Support the company's administrative infrastructure: financials (payroll, expense tracking, vendor payments, invoicing), real estate and lease management, office setup, and any other operational foundations that keep the business running smoothly.
- Build for durability, not just delivery. Stand something up, pressure-test it, document it, and hand it off cleanly so that it keeps working after you've moved on to the next problem.
- In doing so, we can make expertise that once took a lifetime to build available to anyone who needs it.
- Your job is not to flag problems - it's to diagnose them, build the analysis, and deliver a recommendation that moves the business.
- You will build one from the ground up, then hand it off and move to the next thing.
Requirements
- 1-4 years of experience at a top investment bank, consulting firm, private equity firm, or in a highly analytical strategy or operations role.
Nice to have
- Prior experience at an early-stage startup, especially in an operator or Chief of Staff-adjacent capacity.
- Technical fluency: ability to engage credibly with engineering and research teams.
- Exposure to AI, data, or tech-adjacent industries, either from prior work or genuine intellectual interest in the space.
- Experience standing up customer-facing programs, billing systems, or revenue operations from zero.
- Experience across multiple functions: operations, strategy, finance, go-to-market, product, or recruiting.
Company info
- Identify operational inefficiencies, model the tradeoffs, and propose prioritized solutions with clear implementation plans.
- Serve as connective tissue across the organization by communicating clearly, following through, and closing the loop.
- We serve every frontier AI lab with the mission of delivering the best data to power the best models.
- Our customers are the ones building the foundation models themselves and our work sits directly in the loop of how those systems improve.
- You will be a key part of the operational backbone of the company - tackling special projects across the business as they arise and building capabilities that don't yet have a home.
