The Role
Own and run the companys operating rhythm end-to-end: cadence meetings, weekly pulse, decision log, and cross-workstream coordination. Remove coordination burden from founders, hold stakeholders accountable, run quarterly planning, onboard hires, and manage direct reports (Commercial Associate). Clear path to VP Operations/COO as company scales.
Summary Generated by Built In
Granite, a Bifrost portfolio company, is in stealth.
We are a team of exited founders with ten years of R&D in cloud infrastructure and agentic AI, building purpose-built agentic cloud infrastructure for Europe from the compute layer up.
Granite is backed by Bifrost Studios and external investors, with a €4M seed round closed earlier this year. First deployments are live and we are now building out the commercial motion.
Tasks
The operating model is designed and the founding team is strong on vision and execution. What is missing is the person who makes it run consistently. This hire owns the operating rhythm end to end: the cadence meetings, the weekly pulse, the decision log, and the connective tissue between workstreams. They are the finishing instinct the team currently lacks. The role has a direct line to the CEO and a clear path toward VP Operations or COO as the company scales.
What you will do
* Own the full operating rhythm: cadence meetings, weekly pulse dashboard, decision log, and cross-workstream coordination
* Keep the founding team focused on revenue and product by removing every coordination and follow-up burden from their plate
* Hold people accountable to commitments, including founders, without waiting to be asked
* Manage the Commercial Associate and take on additional operational hires as the company grows
* Run quarterly planning and strategy processes with full data and narrative
* Onboard new hires without drawing on founder bandwidth
Requirements
Requirements
* Min 4+ years in progressively impactful roles
* Experience in a Chief of Staff, BizOps, or Strategy and Operations role at a scaling company
* Has built and owned operating rhythms before, not just contributed to them
* Track record of holding people accountable, including senior stakeholders, in a structured and consistent way
* Strong written communicator who runs tight meetings and produces clear output
* Comfortable managing direct reports and working with high autonomy
* Background in consulting, early-stage operations, or both
Benefits
This is the first permanent operational hire at Granite, joining at the founding stage with a direct line to the CEO and full ownership of how the company runs day to day.
The role grows with the company.
* Competitive comp & equity
* Fully remote, Continental Europe
* Reports directly to CEO
Closing
If this sounds like the right next move, send us a short note on why this role and we will take it from there. No cover letter needed.
