Job description

Who We Are

Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.

At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.

Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.

We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.

• Maintain operational readiness of the office at all times.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for workplace‑related needs.

• Be the first point of contact for all guests, ensuring a professional and welcoming office experience.

• Continuously improve systems and processes to reduce friction and elevate the employee.

What You’ll Need

• Exceptional organizational skills with high attention to detail.

• Clear, professional communication skills and a service‑oriented mindset.

• Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.

• Comfort working cross‑functionally with leadership, finance, and HR stakeholders.

• A genuine hospitality mindset and creating thoughtful experiences — you anticipate needs, sweat the details, and take pride in seamless execution.

• Comfort owning logistics end‑to‑end in a highly accountable role.

• Finds satisfaction in making things run seamlessly behind the scenes.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a high‑growth startup or scaling organization.

• Experience hosting and planning events from ideation to execution

• Track record of improving office efficiency, reducing costs, or enhancing employee experience.

• Interest in building a culture‑forward, operationally disciplined workplace from the ground up.
