Operations Specialist (Tech Startup)

We are building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. We go beyond state-of-the-art LLMs by combining algorithms in symbolic ways, to provide novel capabilities like performing multi-step analysis, displaying a verifiable reasoning path, and assessing uncertainty. We envision applications in analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, Material Sciences, and more.

We’re looking for an analytical, experienced, and ambitious startup Operator with hands-on expertise across People, Finance, and Product Operations.

You move easily between strategy and execution, you are a problem-solver, and love to architect systems and processes that enable organisational growth. We're looking for someone who is energised by turning challenges into elegant solutions, and sees opportunities for automation where others settle for manual work. If this describes you, then PlantingSpace might be your perfect professional home.
