About the role

At Layer, operations are part of the art.
You'll oversee the rollout of Layer Canvas systems to collectors, galleries, and commercial spaces, ensuring every installation is museum-grade, on time, and on brand.
This is a critical role for someone who sees logistics not as background work, but as an extension of the creative experience: a seamless blend of beauty, precision, and process.

Oversee end-to-end deployment of Layer units to collectors, partners, and commercial venues worldwide.
Build and maintain relationships with clients, contractors, and logistics partners to ensure smooth, on-time installations.
Own the quality of every installation (ensuring wall mounts are level, wiring is invisible, and the final presentation meets museum-grade standards).
Coordinate internal teams (hardware, software, design, marketing, and sales) through project timelines, Gantt charts, and milestone tracking.
Manage administrative operations including HR workflows (via Rippling), contract coordination, and internal documentation.
Support legal and finance teams in executing agreements, onboarding vendors, and maintaining compliance records.
Develop scalable systems and processes to improve efficiency as the company grows.
You build strong relationships and communicate with confidence and clarity.
You're excited by the idea of helping build a company from the ground up - systems, culture, and all.
We collaborate with the world's leading digital artists to curate a continuous stream of living, evolving work, brought to life on the first museum-grade Canvas built for digital art.

Experience managing vendors, installers, or technical contractors.
Experience with project management tools (Asana, Notion, or similar).
Comfort working with HR and legal systems (e.g. Rippling, Docusign, Gusto).
Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects with a high attention to detail.
Exceptional communication and organizational skills.
A balance of strategic foresight and day-to-day execution drive.
What Success Looks Like
Installations are delivered on time, on budget, and at a consistent quality bar.
Operational systems and playbooks replace scramble, enabling the team to scale installs without chaos.
Communication is clear, proactive, and trusted by clients and partners.

Anticipate roadblocks and keep projects moving forward through clear communication, planning, and follow-through.
You're a natural organizer who thrives in fast-moving, dynamic environments.
You love turning complexity into order - spreadsheets, checklists, and Gantt charts are your second language.
You take pride in craft.
Whether it's a mounted display or a presentation deck, the details matter to you - alignment, finish, and follow-through.
You understand the rhythm of physical deployment - how to coordinate vendors, installers, and clients to achieve consistent, high-quality results.
You're equally comfortable in a gallery, a construction site, or a boardroom.
You're proactive, hands-on, and comfortable switching between high-level strategy and day-to-day execution.

Layer is on a mission to bring a new medium of contemporary fine art to life, and see artists paid.
We're looking for a highly organized, relationship-driven operator to lead Operations & Deployment - the person who keeps everything, and everyone, moving.
