As a founding operations leader at Terac, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and scaling the company’s core functions as we transition from a research-focused expert network to a broader human data economy platform. Your responsibilities will be broad and high-impact, including:
Identifying and closing gaps in process, data, and execution, and moving fluidly across functions such as go-to-market (GTM), finance, product, and people operations.
Owning and executing projects and special partnerships that are critical to growth but don’t yet have a natural home, ensuring nothing mission-critical falls through the cracks.
Partnering directly with the founders on budgeting, burn, and runway planning to ensure the company’s financial health and scalability.
Driving cross-functional initiatives from conception to execution, collaborating with engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.
