Founding Operator - AI Agents

Role SellScale is building the first Agentic Sales Org, starting with Selix – an AI agent for outbound sales. Think of it as a virtual teammate that lives in your Slack, Salesforce, LI, and email - then works as your sales companion to get top of funnel. We’re hiring a Founding Business Operations to work directly with the founding team. You’ll be at the center of how SellScale runs—owning projects across go-to-market, internal operations, customer success, and product. If you’re looking for a place to future-proof your career for the 21st century, this is it. You’re going to be knee-deep in AI Agents, learning about the latest from OpenAI/Anthropic, LLMs, and the future of work. The engineering:ops ratio at SellScale is 3:1, which is an unheard of learning experience for non-technical folks looking to build venture scale businesses. All this will happen not as an ‘associate’, but as an owner, where you will be owning and building key parts of the company. Requirements

• Willing and able to work 5 days a week in-person at our SF office minimum

• Prior experience in operations, consulting, banking, PE, sales, or a fast-paced startup environment ( 2 years of work experience required)

• Self-starter who can own projects end-to-end without step-by-step guidance

• Comfortable with long hours, steep learning curves, and wearing multiple hats

• Strong interest in agentic AI, outbound sales, or startup operations

• Familiarity with tools like Notion, Excalidraw, and Zapier is a plus

• Added premium for prior SQL or coding experience

Skills

• Excellent communication and writing skills (you may interface with customers or partners)

• Knack for sales - this is a must. You will need to either quickly learn how to onboard onto sales (specifically outreach) or have done it before

• Run through walls - there will be a lot of tough challenges left to you, so we need someone who can run through walls, eat nails, and do whatever is needed to get the job done - even unscaleably

• Analytical mindset: comfortable with metrics, dashboards, and operational KPIs. You may be managing customer KPIs and your own

• Can work cross-functionally across customer success, product, growth, and operations - this is not a role that is “only product” or “only Customer Success”

• Bias for action—you prefer to move fast and improve later

Reasons it may NOT be a fit… 🙅 You want a clearly defined ops playbook — this role requires figuring things out from scratch. 🙅 You prefer remote or hybrid work — we work 5 days a week in-person in San Francisco. 🙅 You’re looking for a large-company environment — this is an early-stage startup where everyone wears multiple hats. Positives 💡 You’ll get exposure to a wide range of business problems—from customer success to GTM to internal ops—and own real projects end-to-end. 💡 You’ll work closely with the founders and core team, with direct input on how the company operates and grows. 💡 You’ll learn what it actually takes to build and scale an early-stage startup, especially one at the forefront of agentic AI and modern outbound sales. About SellScale SellScale is building the first agentic revenue org. Background: At a business, you’re either building the product or selling it. Enterprise sales spend is a multi-$bn market. Problem: As businesses grow larger, their sales spend grows disproportionately. Why? Sales—especially outbound—is still human-driven: it’s subjective, hard to measure, and doesn’t scale like code. This is exactly the kind of problem agents are built to solve. Opportunity: With the advent of recent tech like like agentic AI, large language models, vector databases, and more - future sales is human x machine. Our agent, Selix, has already seen a lot of success. Timing: Right now, we are in the dot-com boom of AI Agents. The agents we' build help solve a businesses’s #1 problem: how to grow revenue. We use Chained LLM thinking and start of the art GTM tools to help companies grow. Want to learn more?
