Job description

Elixi is an AI-driven HealthTech startup with a mission to democratize long-term health by transforming scattered data into insights and recommendations people can trust and act on. We’re led by a successful tech entrepreneur who has built a global decacorn ($10B+) before — and has the ambition and resources to do it again.

This is a chance to join early and directly influence what we build, how we build it, and the culture we create along the way. We operate as a small, relentless team with strong ownership and high standards — if you’re driven to achieve greatness and grow alongside ambitious peers, you’ll feel at home.

About the role

We're hiring a Senior Operations Manager to act as a strategic and operational co-pilot to the Head of Operations — someone who can develop a go-to-market approach one day and rewire an internal process the next. You'll work across the full spectrum from commercial strategy to internal process architecture, evolving your focus as the company scales. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in building what doesn't exist yet — and then optimizing it as the business grows.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute commercial strategy — go-to-market planning, pricing, competitive analysis, and revenue operations as the business matures
• Improve and maintain performance infrastructure — goal-setting frameworks, planning cycles, and execution tracking
• Structure and manage strategic partnerships with diagnostic platforms, data partners, payment providers and other
• Run corporate finance operations — budgeting, forecasting, entity management, and vendor governance
• Design and improve internal processes — workflows, tooling, and automation that let the company scale without bureaucracy
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Recruiting to ensure company-wide projects land on time
• Contribute to product value proposition and commercial positioning in collaboration with Product
• Step in as interim cover for functions not yet staffed — marketing, legal, and others — until dedicated hires are in place

Requirements

Must Have:

• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier university (STEM, Economics, or Business)
• 1-2 years of experience working in a high-intensity analytical environment (top-tier consulting, investment banking, PE/VC)
• 4+ years of hands‑on operating experience at a tech startup or high-growth tech company
• Demonstrated track record of high achievements — whether through accelerated career progression, competitive selections, or measurable business impact
• Proven track record of structuring ambiguous problems from first principles, going deep into analysis, and delivering results with minimal guidance
• Strong analytical toolkit — advanced Excel/Sheets, SQL or Python for data analysis, comfort building models and dashboards from scratch
• Exceptional written and verbal communication — from distilling complex analyses into clear internal recommendations to articulating product value in partnership decks and user-facing messaging

Nice to Have:

• HealthTech, BioTech, or regulated industry experience
• Experience with AI/ML product environments or data-heavy platforms
• School/university Olympiad medal in competitions in physics, maths or programming
