About the role

You will care deeply about helping founders, whatever the need.
Some days that is a critical executive hire.
Others it is sharpening go-to-market, opening a door to a customer, landing a piece of coverage, or getting a founder in the right room.

Own the day-to-day. Lead the Founder Services and Platform teams day-to-day - the people, the priorities, and the standards.
Build the playbook. Partner with John to shape how Unusual supports founders, and turn that into repeatable programs the team can deliver at quality.
You care deeply about truth, clarity, and long-term company building.
Own the day-to-day.
Lead the Founder Services and Platform teams day-to-day - the people, the priorities, and the standards.
Build the playbook.
Partner with John to shape how Unusual supports founders, and turn that into repeatable programs the team can deliver at quality.
We want a builder - and, just as importantly, a manager and a coordinator: someone who will own the details, run the team, and make sure our support reaches founders on time and at quality.
This is a builder's role with a Partner's scope and ownership.
You will be one of Unusual's Operating Partners, on equal footing with our CFO and Operating Partner.

A proven operator with a track record of success in startups - as a CEO or COO, with deep experience in enterprise software in particular.
You have built and scaled companies, and you know the difference between traction and noise.
You have built go-to-market and recruiting motions from the ground up, and you can coach founders on both with credibility.
You get real joy from helping founders succeed, and you have the standing to challenge them and be heard.
You have high standards and high empathy, and you bring calm, structured thinking to messy problems.
You are values-driven.

Meet founders at any stage - pre-seed through Series B - and help on whatever front matters: recruiting, go-to-market, customers, narrative, or coverage.

You will meet each company where it is, at whatever stage, and marshal the firm's resources to move it forward.
We are looking for an Operating Partner to lead our Founder Services and Platform teams.
