THE ROLE

We're hiring an Operations Manager to run Giga's India entity as we grow the team there. You'll own the entity's day-to-day operations, help us hire and onboard great people, and support revenue operations with our go-to-market team.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who likes building from scratch. You'll work closely with leadership in San Francisco, and the systems you set up will become how Giga runs in India. You'll be expected to build the playbook, not inherit one.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Running the India entity day to day: Own payroll, statutory compliance (PF, TDS, GST), accounting and audit coordination, and vendor contracts, working with our legal, tax, and payroll partners.
• Building the team: Partner with hiring managers to run recruiting in India, from sourcing and interview loops to offers and onboarding.
• Employee experience: Set up onboarding, benefits, HR policies, equipment, and workspace so new hires are productive from day one.
• Revenue operations: Keep our CRM accurate, build pipeline and forecast reporting, and help run quote-to-cash: contracts, invoicing, and collections.
• Systems that scale: Turn one-off tasks into documented, automated processes that hold up as headcount grows.

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years in operations, business operations, or HR and finance operations, ideally at a high-growth startup.
• You understand how payroll, statutory filings, and vendor contracts work in India, and know when to bring in specialists.
• You've run or supported recruiting end to end and care about the candidate experience.
• You're at home in a CRM and spreadsheets, and you turn pipeline and billing data into clear reporting.
• High agency, low ego. You notice gaps early, take ownership of them, and leave behind a process instead of a workaround.
• Clear communicator. You work smoothly across time zones and keep the San Francisco team in the loop without being chased.
• AI-native. You use AI tools every day to move faster and automate the repetitive parts of the job.

NICE TO HAVE

• Hands-on with Salesforce or a similar CRM
• Prior experience at an AI or B2B SaaS startup
• Experience with list building to target leads
