[Hiring] Operating Partner @Bolter

Role Description

As Operating Partner, you're a general problem solver working directly with the founding team. You take the company's highest-priority problems, whatever shape they arrive in:

• A function that needs building
• A launch that needs landing
• A market that needs opening
• A team that needs fixing

You own them end to end and you deliver. This is a role for someone who has a strong track record of success in solving hard problems and now wants the widest possible surface area at one of Europe's most ambitious AI ventures.

What you’ll do:

• Spearhead company priorities.
• Take the initiatives that matter most to the business, from ambiguous brief to shipped outcome. Define the problem, build the plan, execute it, and report on the result with numbers.
• Find growth and revenue.
• Spot emerging opportunities across product, go-to-market and partnerships. Build the case, then go get them.
• Own functions and verticals.
• Assume full ownership of standalone functions, verticals or teams, including turnaround situations. Build them, staff them, and either run them or hand them over stronger than you found them.
• Recruit and lead.
• Hire high performers, set the bar, and deliver through others as comfortably as you deliver yourself.
• Build processes that scale.
• Design operations that hold at ten times our size, and run them in Bolter itself. We automate our own work first.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in high-growth technology companies, investment banks, private equity, VC or venture building, with clear evidence of career progression.
• A track record of excellence across more than one domain: you've built things, fixed things, and led things that weren't your specialty when you started.
• Experience leading teams of 10+ people, directly or across functions.
• Comfort with extreme ambiguity and full accountability for outcomes. When nobody can set your brief, you set it yourself.
• Fluency with AI tools in your daily work.

Requirements

• While we think the above experience could be important, we're keen to hear from people who believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role.
• If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply!
