BizOps Associate

Eka Robotics

Eka Robotics is on a mission to build intelligence for the physical world - robots that are fast, general, and reliable. Our approach, grounded in physics, unlocks superhuman capabilities. We are defining the frontier of robotics research and deployment.

Our team consists of pioneers in robotics and machine learning and skilled operators. We are now hiring to scale our efforts. We are looking for hands-on individuals who are excited to help shape the future of robotics.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Business Operations Associate to join the Head of Operations’ team. You'll translate strategy into execution, coordinate cross-functional initiatives, and build the systems that enable rapid growth. This is a generalist role for someone who wants broad scope across company operations: from keeping our project plans on track and managing vendors to supporting financial modeling and establishing the core processes that will allow us to scale. It suits a highly organized, analytical operator who wants to help build from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Build Repeatable Playbooks: Identify opportunities to improve processes, optimize operational efficiencies, and establish our ways of working

• Contribute to Strategy and Operating model: build financial models and business analyses that help inform how we scale and make critical decisions

• Drive Execution: coordinate across teams and initiatives to help unblock issues

• Strategic Initiatives: Partner with Head of Operations and leadership on strategic initiatives such as fundraising support, board deck preparation, and long-term planning

• Special Projects: Act as a "Department of One" for emerging needs in finance, marketing, legal, and partnerships as we scale

• Systems Implementation & Ownership: Beyond just designing processes, you will be responsible for the "last mile" of execution, anything from managing vendors and the procurement lifecycle, to helping stay on top of our legal and financial filings.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of experience in management consulting, strategy, business operations, venture capital, or a similar high-growth environment.

• Ownership Mindset: Proactive self-starter with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment; you don't wait for a playbook, you write it.

• Problem Solving: A combination of analytical and conceptual thinking; you bring a hypothesis-driven approach to tackle complex business challenges across ops, finance, and strategy.

• Analytics: Proficiency in financial modeling and business analysis

• Operator Mentality: You enjoy the tactical execution of running day-to-day operations and are comfortable being hands-on, while maintaining the ability to think critically about the "big picture."

• Exceptional Coordination: Strong organizational skills with the ability to handle multiple streams of work and prioritize effectively.

• Robotics/AI Interest: While you don’t need to be an engineer, you should be excited about the mission of building general-purpose manipulation and foundation models.

• Education: B.S. in Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field; MBA is a plus but not required.
