MatrAIx Fellow, Business Operations

About the role

Our founders and researchers should spend their time on research and customers. Your job is to take everything else off their plate and get it done well. You'll run the company's rhythm of business, drive marketing and growth, plan our events, and handle the long tail of non-technical work that keeps a fast-growing startup moving.

We're looking for someone sharp, resourceful and self-directed. You don't need hand-holding: give you a goal, and you'll work out how to get there, learn the tools you need and come back with results.

What you'll do

• Run the rhythm of business. Own weekly priorities, leadership meetings, goal tracking and follow-ups, so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Build and run ad pipelines. Set up, launch and optimize paid campaigns, track performance and report on what's working.
• Own our social presence. Write and publish LinkedIn posts and other social content about our research, launches, talks and hiring, and grow our audience.
• Plan events. Organize talks, workshops, launch events, conference appearances and community gatherings from start to finish.
• Support recruiting. Coordinate hiring for full-time roles and the MatrAIx Fellows program: postings, scheduling, candidate communication and onboarding.
• Handle operations. Manage vendors, office logistics, contracts, expenses and other administrative work, working with outside providers where needed.
• Take on special projects. Pick up whatever the founders need next, and figure it out with little direction.

Required qualifications

• 1+ years in a fast-paced role such as startup operations, marketing, growth, consulting or business operations
• Hands-on experience running paid ad campaigns or growth marketing
• Excellent writing, especially short, engaging social media content
• Highly organized, and able to keep many workstreams moving at once
• Self-starter who takes ownership and doesn't need step-by-step direction
• Comfortable with ambiguity and quick to learn new tools

Preferred qualifications

• Experience at an AI or tech startup
• Experience growing a company or personal brand on LinkedIn
• Event planning experience, such as conferences, meetups or launches
• Familiarity with marketing tools such as LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, Meta Ads or HubSpot
• Interest in AI and the ability to explain our work in plain language

Work authorization: We support CPT, OPT and STEM OPT.
