About the role
Overview Pluralis Research carries out foundational research on Protocol Learning: multi-participant training of foundation models where no single participant has, or can ever obtain, a full copy of the model. The purpose of Protocol Learning is to facilitate the creation of community-trained and community-owned frontier models with self-sustaining economics. As a Business Operations (BizOps) Associate, you'll build up to owning end-to-end projects across go-to-market, operations, and “the 100 other broken things” that need fixing in a startup. One day, you’ll be managing campaigns directly with our CEO, the next you’ll be fixing a broken integration or engaging with contributors. This is by no means an easy gig, but it is the best entry point into a startup one could ask for - exposure to all facets of an AI business, working direct with the exec team at a time of rapid growth.
Responsibilities GTM Execution: You want to own and drive go-to-market strategy and execution - supporting our growth and partnerships initiatives. Operational Excellence: Build and maintain operational infrastructure: processes, tooling, reporting. You find something broken, you relish in fixing it. Strategic Projects: Exposure to strategic projects across partnerships, community, marketing and ecosystem development. Business Ops: Directly support our founder & CoS in day to day operations of the business. High Agency: Pick up and run with whatever is the most important task on any given week. What we’re looking for In General: 1-2 years of experience in management consulting (tier-1), high-growth startup operations, or venture capital. High Agency: Demonstrated bias toward action. You default to doing, not asking for permission. Strong analytical toolkit: comfortable building models, pulling apart data, and synthesising findings into clear recommendations. Excellent written and verbal communication . You can draft a professional memo and rally an executive team behind it. Genuine interest in AI : Whether current models, decentralised systems, or frontier technology. You may be non-technical, but you're curious enough to go deeper than the average person.
