Job description

About Searchable

We're building the future of AI search visibility. As ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity reshape how people find information, we help brands understand and optimize their presence in this new landscape. Backed by top angels and VCs, we're creating the essential platform for the AI search era.

Our core values:

1. Move Fast

We make decisions quickly and get things done. Progress matters more than perfection.

2. Find Your Lever, Then Move the World

Everyone here finds the work that matters most and takes real pride in it. When you own something, you give it your all.

3. Ask Why

We question old habits and push for better answers. If something does not make sense, speak up.

4. Value Perspicacity

We notice things others miss. We think ahead and solve problems before they get big.

5. Leadership Means Clearing the Path

Leaders remove obstacles and help others do their best work. Anyone can step up and make things easier for the team.

About the Role

• Be the first dedicated ops hire - build everything from scratch

• Design how a modern, AI-native company operates at scale

• Touch every part of the business - from strategic planning to daily execution

• Work directly with leadership on the highest-leverage problems

• Clear path to Chief Operating Officer as we grow

About You

We need someone who turns chaos into clarity. Someone who:

• Loves building systems that make everyone's life easier

• Thinks in frameworks but isn't afraid to get hands dirty

• Communicates with crystal clarity and leads without authority

• Gets energy from making things run smoothly

• Sees operations as a product to perfect, not a cost center

What you'll do

• Architect the company operating system - OKRs, dashboards, rituals, and planning cycles

• Be the cross-functional glue helping teams move faster with fewer bottlenecks

• Stand up core systems - HR, payroll, legal, compliance, contractor management

• Build agentic workflows and tools that eliminate manual work

• Lead special projects from new product launches to international expansion

Benefits and Comp

• Top market salary in London, performance bonus and real equity

• 25 days paid vacation and leading parental and childcare policies

• Relocation bonus and support to make your move to London smooth (if needed)
