Job Description

Title: Biz Ops Lead (Part-Time)

Location: San Francisco, CA

Time Commitment: ~20 hours/week

Reports to: COO

About Us

We’re a venture fund and incubator that helps early-stage founders go from idea to company. We invest in bold startups, build companies in-house, and operate a hands-on founder lab. Behind the scenes, we manage multiple legal entities, a venture fund, and a growing internal team—all of which require sharp, steady operational support. We're hiring a part-time Biz Ops Lead to help power our next phase of growth.

About the Role

This is a ~20 hours/week role for someone with strong financial, legal, and operational instincts who wants to take meaningful ownership in how a venture-backed organization runs. You'll work side-by-side with the COO to manage financial operations, lead internal reporting, support legal and HR processes, and improve the systems that keep the business moving.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Finance & Operating Model

• Partner with the COO to build and refine our operating model across multiple entities
• Identify and track key performance metrics, build dashboards, and surface insights
• Lead a monthly reporting cadence: dig into the P&L, investigate anomalies, and walk leadership through reports
• Help align operating expenses with fund strategy, giving visibility into how spend affects fund pacing, margins, and capacity

Finance, Accounting & Payroll

• Ensure books are accurate and clean by reviewing monthly entries and coordinating with external bookkeepers
• Coordinate with tax accountants and oversee annual and quarterly tax processes
• Identify areas to tighten budgets, reduce costs, and improve forecasting accuracy
• Manage payroll systems: ensure automated payrolls run correctly, monitor for errors, and verify accounts are funded
• Assist with employment contracts and payroll documentation when onboarding new team members

Legal & Compliance

• Support key legal workflows, including:
• IP and asset sales or purchases
• Entity formation and maintenance
• Drafting and distributing equity agreements
• Maintain internal compliance calendars and coordinate with outside counsel as needed

Systems, Fund Ops & Projects

• Assist with light fund operations, including capital call tracking and LP coordination
• Improve internal systems and workflows across legal, finance, and HR
• Lead or support special projects such as internal expansion, process redesign, or vendor transitions

Who You Are

• 3–5+ years of experience in business operations, finance, FP&A, or legal ops
• Highly proficient with Excel/Google Sheets; you enjoy building models and bringing clarity to complexity
• Comfortable reviewing P&Ls, overseeing payroll, and coordinating with bookkeepers and tax pros
• Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable with a strong sense of ownership
• Familiar with early-stage companies, startup legal structures, and multi-entity operations

Why This Role

This is a rare chance to plug into the heart of a startup ecosystem while maintaining flexible hours. You’ll partner directly with a seasoned COO, support a portfolio of bold startup activity, and play a key role in how we grow and operate. Perfect for someone between roles, managing multiple clients, or exploring a deeper role in the startup and venture world—without going full-time.
