[Hiring] Operations, Strategy & Special Projects @Aquaria

Role Description

You'll report to our Head of Product Strategy & Special Projects and our co-founder and COO, and you'll work directly with them on whatever the company most needs solved that week.

You'll work on questions where a better answer can change what the company does next. The problems are unique, they're difficult, and no two days are the same:

• One week it's a new market that has to exist on paper before it exists on the ground.
• The next it's a model nobody has built, an ambitious idea that needs a plan before it can become real.
• A set of facts scattered across the company that nobody has connected yet.

You'll learn fast, question things that sound convincing, and verify the work before anyone acts on it. This role suits someone who is comfortable not knowing the shape of the answer at the start, who gets absorbed in a hard problem, and who wants to see their answer put to work.

The role has no fixed scope, and it will change as the company does. What stays constant is the level of the work. These are problems that today sit with the founders and the Head of Product Strategy & Special Projects, and we're looking for one more person who can carry them.

Qualifications

• Analytic ability.
• Technical aptitude.
• Attention to detail.
• Experience reasoning from evidence.
• Ability to identify and address issues proactively.
• Experience using AI for serious work.

Requirements

• Independent projects you started and finished on your own, that you can show us.
• Daily, serious use of AI systems as your primary way of doing work.
• Experience producing analysis from raw data and defending the conclusions.
• Experience writing for an audience, in any form.

Benefits

• Flat Organization: Everyone is expected to speak up, surface risks, and ship solutions.
• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.
• Move Fast: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble. Challenge ideas, including your own.
• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility. Deliver results. No excuses.
• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.
• Be Decisive: Drive clarity. Make bold calls with imperfect info.
• Bring the Intensity: We're building something hard, and it takes real commitment. The work doesn't always fit inside standard hours.

To Apply

Send us two things:

• A link to something, or a portfolio, you built or wrote on your own, with a description on what it is and how AI figured into it. Show us whatever you are proud of that you have built with AI.
• A short account of a time you caught something wrong that everyone else had accepted: how you established it was wrong, and what you did about it.
