Job description

About Sequence We are in the middle of the intelligent revolution.

In some industries, a startup will win. In others, the incumbent is advantaged. We believe the opportunity is exponential when you pair a durable moat with technology. Sequence acquires the most ambitious incumbents in the service economy and refound them as market leaders.

Our engineers work alongside management teams to reimagine the business around what is now possible with AI, rebuilding operations and workflows around Atlas, our proprietary technology platform. Atlas deepens with every business we own and makes the next refounding faster. We elevate human talent and judgment, expand the market, and create lasting value.

Sequence is based in New York City and backed by 8VC, Conviction, Lux Capital and other strategic partners.

About The Role From day one, you will step into the operating environment of the businesses we acquire and act like a founder. You will learn how the business works, identify the biggest opportunities for change, and design the systems, workflows, and AI tooling that will redefine how the company operates. It’s a hands‑on, high-ownership role where the mandate is simple: build better companies with applied AI. As Sequence grows, this role expands into shaping how entire verticals should operate on Sequence’s technology platform. You will help rethink the status quo and redesign operating models for entire industries.

Requirements

• Deep understanding of how businesses operate and ability to translate that into technical solutions
• Relentlessly product-oriented. Obsesses over details to get the user experience right.
• Exceptional communicator. Equally effective running a room with junior employees or presenting to a CEO.
• Raw horsepower and tenacity. Will run through walls to deliver results.
• Willing to travel 50%+ to portfolio companies

Our Values

• Earned Luck: We do not control markets, competition, timing, or chance. We control whether we are ready when they turn our way. Effort and preparation are the only variables entirely up to us, and we leave nothing on the table. Do the work before it is needed, at the highest standard. We are a small team going after massive opportunities: outwork everyone.
• Ownership: You are an owner of Sequence. Act like it. Treat our spaces and our money as your own; they are. Take pride in the work you ship. No task is beneath you, no detail too small. The small things compound.
• Long‑Term Thinking: We are a permanent holding company: no fund clock, no exit to manage toward. That structure only works if we think the same way. Hold direction through good cycles and bad. Pay the short‑term tax on the investments that compound. Always ask: what puts us on the steepest slope three years from now?
• Intellectual Honesty: The best idea wins, regardless of who says it. Debate openly; push back regardless of hierarchy. Share credit generously; take responsibility collectively. When we are wrong, we say so immediately, extract the lesson, and move on. Concealing mistakes is unacceptable.
• Customer-Centric: We have two customers: our portfolio companies, and the customers they serve. We succeed only when our customer’s customer does. Our job is to make our operating companies better at serving theirs.
• Stewardship: We inherit decades of someone else’s work and trust. Respect it, understand it, then build on it. The goal is to make it the best it has ever been.
• Integrity: Our currency is trust. Everything we want comes through reputation: the next deal, the next hire, the next capital partner. Do the right thing, especially when no one is watching; reputation compounds faster than revenue and cannot be rebought.
