Job Details

Conduit's FactoryOS platform allows manufacturers to scale production ready automation solutions in days, not months. With a suite of powerful applications, we allow manufacturers to automate faster and smarter by coordinating every robot, machine, and system on one platform. At Conduit, our mission is to give every American manufacturer the power to automate their factories at lightning speed.

We're already deployed in production at top manufacturers and growing fast. Backed by leading investors, and built by a team that moves at startup speed with deep conviction in American industrial dominance.

The Role

The Head of Operations will drive strategic priorities, unlock execution bottlenecks, and scale the company across operations and go-to-market. You'll be trusted with high-leverage work — everything from running founder-level projects to building internal processes and wrangling complex decisions.

If you're hyper-analytical, thrive in ambiguity, and want to earn your stripes by helping scale a category-defining industrial startup — this is for you.

What you'll do

• Own company priorities. Run special projects, drive cross-functional execution, keep the trains moving and priorities aligned.
• Make things legible. Take ambiguous ideas and bring structure, rigor, and insight — whether through dashboards, memos, decks, or decisions.
• Build the operating rhythm. Own internal processes — planning, OKRs, board prep, hiring loops, sprint review, and cross-functional sync.
• Be a force multiplier. Step in wherever needed: hiring, GTM experiments, investor comms, recruiting, compliance, onboarding, finance, vendor management.
• Act as early COO-in-training. There's a real path here. We're looking for someone who could one day run Conduit's operations at scale.

You are

• Speed demon. You fundamentally believe that walls are made for breaking. You move fast, stay on top of details, and don't need your hand held. You bias toward action and cut through noise.
• Analytical + exacting. Nothing gets past you. You catch things others miss. You structure problems clearly and demand excellence from yourself and others.
• Founder-caliber operator. You can run your own company or be a world-class exec someday — this is how you'll earn it.
• Tone match. You'll be in lockstep with the founder — quick thinking, sharp, high ownership, no drama.
• Swiss Army knife. You're as comfortable spinning up a hiring process as you are coordinating a product launch or writing a board memo.
• Intellectually athletic. You thrive in high-context, high-intensity environments.

Bonus Points

• Helped scale a startup from the early days to series B+
• Ex-Palantir FDE, MBB, IB, or early-stage operator
• Background in ops, strategy, finance, GTM, or product
• You excel at AI automation work
• Experience in automation, robotics, industrials, or hard tech
• Excel/Powerpoint deck wizardry

What we offer

• Top tier pay and equity: We want to make it easy to join Conduit.
• Generational opportunity. Be early at a company defining the software layer for industrial automation.
• American re-industrialization is happening. We're building the platform to make it real — faster.
• Zero bureaucracy. High impact. You'll be on the front lines, solving real problems for real factories.
• You will level up. You'll work directly with the founder and exec team — and grow into a senior operator
