About the role
About Shiru
Shiru is building the future of ingredient discovery and operating at the cutting edge of applied AI from our core R&D differentiation to company operations. We’re a lean, fast-moving deep tech startup that achieves outsized impact with a small, high-performing team. As we scale, we’re looking for an exceptional operator to help us redefine what’s possible by combining operational excellence with the power of AI.
The Opportunity
This is not your typical operations role. As our AI Operations Manager, you’ll be the connective tissue of the company, owning a wide range of responsibilities across finance, sales, legal, marketing, investor relations, and project management. But more than that, you’ll be the architect and power user of our AI-driven operating model, helping us scale with extraordinary efficiency.
You’ll partner directly with the CEO and leadership team, designing and running a new model of company execution where human leaders collaborate with a dynamic workforce of AI agents, built by you. You’ll identify opportunities for automation, build and deploy AI-powered workflows, and ensure that every function you touch runs smoother, faster, and smarter.
This is a rare chance to join a company at an inflection point - where your work will have an outsized impact, your learning curve will be steep, and your growth opportunities will be limitless.
What You’ll Do
- Work closely with the CEO as a strategic partner: Collaborating on the most high-priority initiatives, shaping company strategy, and ensuring seamless execution across the organization.
- Be the operational backbone: Own and improve processes across finance, HR, legal, marketing, business development, communications, and project management. Ensure nothing falls through the cracks as we grow.
- Architect and deploy AI systems: Design, build, and maintain a fleet of AI agents and workflows that amplify the team’s impact—drafting communications, summarizing contracts, preparing for meetings, tracking tasks, and more.
