Summary Generated by Built In


We’re the makers of Poke.com, a proactive AI agent for everyday life. Interaction is a $300M consumer company backed by $27M from General Catalyst and angels such as Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Scott Wu (Cognition), Patrick and John Collison (Stripe), Fred Ehrsam (Coinbase), Ken Howery (Co-Founder of PayPal and Founders Fund), and many others.

The Context

For the last year, our core engineering team has built this entire agent platform from the ground up. Now, usage is scaling by orders of magnitude and the way we operate has to scale alongside it: the workflows, the systems, the processes a company moving at this pace needs. We are looking for someone with experience at a fast-paced, scaling startup to come in and drive that work.

The Role

You take the operational work currently spread across founders and busy operators and turn it into something coherent. You go deep in at least one of these areas:

  • Drive cross-functional initiatives from initial scope through final delivery

  • Keep teams aligned and on schedule, chasing down loose ends when deadlines tighten

  • Design and maintain repeatable systems, playbooks, and operating procedures

  • Spot friction, blind spots, and unrealized leverage before they become obvious

  • Communicate clearly with different teams from engineers to executives

  • Step into whatever the company needs, regardless of whether it falls in your lane

What we're looking for

  • Track record. You have ~2 years at a top investment bank (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JPM, top elite boutique) or top consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) out of a top US university (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Wharton, etc.), ideally (not required) followed by time at an early-stage startup. You can name the projects you owned and the outcomes they produced.

  • Bias to action. You ship outcomes, not memos. You do not escalate problems, you solve them.

  • Low ego. The talent bar is high, but no important problem is beneath us.

  • Speed and precision. You move fast without dropping details.

Something Else

Send us the project you are most proud of running end to end. What did you start with, what did you build, and what did it produce? If you have ever been a founder, tell us what you learned the hard way.

Skills Required

  • Experience in project management at a fast-paced startup
  • History of leading multi-person projects end to end
  • Ability to design efficient workflows and processes
  • Experience working closely with founders or in operational roles
