About the role

Trata is hiring an Operations Lead! We’re looking for an ex-startup/consulting/banking/buyside type to join us in-person as we scale. If interested, please follow on Twitter: @trytrata

We’re backed by a VC with a higher unicorn rate than YC and Sequoia, Walter Kortschak (prev. CIO of SignalFire and Managing Partner at Summit Partners), Y Combinator, later-stage founders backed by some of the best VCs (Founders Fund, a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, YC), Pioneer Fund, Seaplane Ventures and 10+ hedge funds.

We’re looking for someone who understands urgency. We are feeling the pull from the market and need to scale. We’re looking for someone who understands half of his/her entry-level peers will be unemployed in 5 years. We’re not looking to convince or hire the sleepy, risk-averse analyst who thinks two years of banking and an MBA will future-proof him/her.

You will have extreme ownership of your workflow, and the role (+ compensation and title) will evolve much faster than a traditional job if your performance is good. You will wear many hats (e.g. operations, client onboarding, special projects, growth).

Perks:

  1. Higher total compensation than 95% of operations/biz dev roles
  2. Work out of a luxury hacker apartment with a water view (no dress code, no office BS)
  3. Expensed meals
  4. If you are interested in entrepreneurship later on, I am happy to introduce you to the investors you need to know. I am happy to personally push your application to Y Combinator
  5. Health, dental and vision coverage

Requirements:

  1. High agency and ownership of your workflows. You will be held accountable (and rewarded) for execution
  2. Resource, proactive, “will do” attitude. No work is below you, similar to consulting or banking or a different startup
  3. Willing to work long hours. This is not a 9-5 job. We will incentivize you accordingly
  4. Be willing to travel on occasion
  5. Pleasant to be around. No assholes

About the interview

  1. Phone call or coffee with Eric (Co-Founder/CEO)
  2. Paid in-person work trial
