Job summary

ATBF Labs is seeking a high-trust operator who will work directly with the founders, own cross-functional programs end to end, and turn ambiguity into a concrete plan. You will run the operating cadence, set goals, and drive the company forward beyond a single lane.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in a high-velocity environment (operating, consulting, banking, or startup).
• A track record of owning ambiguous, cross-functional work and finishing it.
• Sharp written and verbal communication; able to write memos and run the room.
• Comfort with numbers; capable of building models and reading dashboards.

Responsibilities

• Run the company operating cadence: planning, goals, metrics, and the meetings that keep them honest.
• Own cross-functional projects end to end, from a fuzzy problem to a shipped outcome.
• Prepare board materials, fundraising narratives, and internal communications with the founders.
• Build the early operational backbone: hiring process, vendors, finance ops, and tooling.
• Sit in on the hard decisions, surface the data, and make sure the follow-through happens.
