Job description

About Enclosure

Enclosure is the world’s first superintelligence security lab focused on preventing the sabotage, escape, and theft of ASI. We are building ASI-grade security for model weights, and nation-state-grade security for data centers.

We’re backed by leaders across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, SpaceXAI, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, other frontier AI labs, and the national security community (including former NSA and intelligence community leadership). We are frontier AI, cybersecurity, quantum security, and national security researchers.

About the Role

Enclosure is hiring an Operations Generalist to build and run the operational backbone of a fast-moving company. You'll own the systems, processes, and infrastructure that let the team stay focused on the mission. You'll also own the urgent, cross-functional problems that don't have a home, driving them through every function, vendor, and counterparty required to close them out, and not letting go until it's done.

This role touches nearly every part of the company: recruiting, finance, legal, vendor management, internal systems, events, and the steady cadence that keeps a company running. We care less about degrees and more about a track record of ownership, resourcefulness, grit, and a refusal to let things fall through the cracks. This is a rare opportunity to build a startup into a $10B company.

We're looking for someone who runs toward problems, takes ownership without being asked, and wants to build the operational foundation of a company that will shape the future of AI infrastructure. If that excites you, we should talk.

Requirements

You'll thrive here if you have deep experience in multiple of the following:

• Taking ambiguous, high-stakes problems end-to-end; coordinating across functions, vendors, and counterparties until they close cleanly




• Unblocking a team relentlessly by finding whatever's in the way of someone shipping (a contract, an approval, a vendor, a missing piece of information) and clearing it




• Running the recurring operational cadence of meetings, reports, and reviews




• Building the internal systems, tooling, and documentation




• Navigating ambiguity in high-stakes operational environments

Some of the areas of specialization that would be applicable in this role are:

• Owning vendor relationships, contracts, and procurement




• Partnering closely with accounting, finance, and legal




• Organizing offsites, team events, and conference logistics with high attention to detail




• Building and scaling a recruiting function from scratch, from sourcing pipelines through offer close




• Setting up benefits, PEO/EOR, onboarding, and the employee lifecycle systems a growing team needs

What Sets You Apart

We're especially excited if you:

• Have a track record of being the person colleagues esc**alate** to when something has to get done and there's no clear path




• Demonstrate strong judgment in the systems and processes you've built




• Get energized by hard problems, broken systems, and the work of figuring them out




• Are highly adaptive and comfortable with how fast the frontier shifts




• Communicate with clarity and directness




• Bring a humble, low-ego attitude and care deeply about helping the team win

Why Join

Enclosure is securing the path to superintelligence.

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation package




• Ownership over research direction




• Close collaboration with frontier AI security and infrastructure teams
