Full job description
About Sequence Sequence acquires established businesses in the service economy and refounds them as market leaders. Refounding means rebuilding a business around what is now possible with AI, combining its existing strengths with new ways of operating. We bring capital, engineering and operational expertise, working alongside each company’s leaders and employees. At the center is Atlas, our shared technology platform. What we build and learn in one business strengthens Atlas for the next. Based in New York City, Sequence is backed by 8VC, Conviction, Lux Capital and other strategic partners.
What You Will Do You’ll report directly to the CEO and help build and run Sequence’s central organization. You’ll take ownership of important problems as they emerge, build the foundations and establish clear ownership. The work requires bringing order to a fast-moving company while preserving the initiative and dynamism that drive our results. Your initial priorities will include:
-
Owning people operations while building our talent function, hiring its leader and helping us meet our recruiting goals.
-
Establishing our internal finance function, including financial planning and reporting.
-
Owning our operating cadence: OKRs, all-hands meetings and monthly business reviews.
-
Driving priorities across teams and representing Sequence with candidates, partners and other external stakeholders.
-
Other crucial projects or functions critical to Sequence’s smooth daily operations.
You’ll lead through influence from day one, earning trust through judgment and execution. Your scope and responsibilities will grow with the firm.
What We Look For
-
Real startup operating experience. You’ve built functions, teams or systems in a growing company and can point to results you personally delivered. Investing or engineering experience is a plus.
-
AI native. You use AI fluently in your own work and build it into workflows, systems and how teams operate.
-
Range and ownership. You can move between recruiting, finance and company operations, learn quickly and own a problem through to resolution.
-
Sound judgment and analytical depth. You understand the commercial and financial implications of decisions, identify what matters and work through the details.
-
Exceptional communication and leadership. You earn trust, hold people accountable and drive decisions across teams. You’re credible with colleagues at every level and with external partners.
-
Tenacity and attention to detail. You set a high bar, do the unglamorous work and follow through until the result is right.
