Business Operations Lead, Volteras
Operations
Posted on Jul 31, 2026
Role
Who you are
- 5–8 years of experience in roles where you've been analytical, structured, and trusted with senior-level outputs. Backgrounds we'd expect: management consulting, venture capital, investment banking, transaction services, or operating roles at startups
- Genuine financial fluency: comfortable owning a P&L, building a runway model, sense-checking commercial analysis
- Strong written communication: A lot of this role is turning messy inputs into clear narratives for investors, the board, and the team
- Comfortable with ambiguity and with owning outcomes end-to-end: We're a small team and you won't be handed a playbook
- Track record of building or running operating machinery that outlasts you: rhythms, reporting, systems that other people pick up and keep going
- Interest in what we're building: You don't need to be an EV expert, but you should care about the space we operate in
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Business Operations Lead to run the operating layer of the company, including the financials, the board cadence, the investor rhythms and the operating model that holds it all together
- The role starts at an unusual moment. Our Chief of Staff is going on maternity leave shortly, and your first six months will overlap with that. During that period you'll be working directly with the CEO on the company's core operating rhythms. You will be responsible for doing the drafting, coordination and analytical heavy lifting on board materials, investor updates, financial analysis and all-hands, while the CEO sets direction and signs off on outputs. You’ll have real scope to shape how things run
- When the Chief of Staff returns, you'll continue in the role reporting to her. The exact shape of how responsibilities split between the two of you will depend on where the company is by then - six months is a long time at our stage - but you can expect to keep running the operating layer with growing scope as we scale
- We think this is a strong role for someone who's done the analytical and operating work before and is not ready to step into running these rhythms and work streams independently. You'll have the autonomy of a senior hire, the visibility of a small team, and a real seat at the operating table
- What you'll do in the first 6 months:
- Draft and coordinate the company's core operating outputs: board packs, investor updates, all-hands materials, working closely with the CEO
- Run the month-end close cadence and own the operating interface with our accountants
- Produce the financial and commercial analysis that supports board, investor, and leadership decisions, including P&L, runway and scenario modelling
- Keep the operating model documented and the ownership clear — who's doing what, where the gaps are
- Spot where the machinery is breaking and fix it, or flag it to the CEO before it breaks
