About the Role

Photon is building infrastructure for AI agents to become first-class participants in how people communicate, work, and live. We're looking for an exceptional operator to work closely with our founders and keep both the company and the people behind it running at full speed. This role owns a wide range of operational problems—from founder logistics and recruiting coordination to company events, travel, and whatever becomes the highest-leverage problem that day.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate meetings, interviews, candidates, investors, customers, and external partners.
• Help run company events, offsites, dinners, conferences, and team activities.
• Research and execute one-off projects: finding vendors, sourcing equipment, comparing options, making purchases, and solving unexpected operational problems.
• Keep track of important follow-ups and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Build lightweight systems and processes that make Photon operate more efficiently.
• Work across recruiting, finance, office operations, customer operations, and other functions as needed.
• Take ambiguous problems from "someone should figure this out" to completely handled.

What We're Looking For

• Extremely organized, reliable, and detail-oriented with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High-agency mindset: when you see a problem, your instinct is to solve it.
• Fast and resourceful—unusually good at figuring things out independently, over the phone, or by finding the right person.
• Comfortable operating with incomplete information and changing priorities.
• Discreet and trustworthy with confidential company and personal information.
• Strong judgment about when to make decisions yourself versus escalate.
• Willing to do both high-level operational work and seemingly small tasks if they create leverage.
• Energized by working closely with founders in a fast-moving startup environment.
