Business Operations
Glot · London · hybrid
We believe no one should be a stranger just because they speak a different language. That’s why we’re building real-time translation for real-world conversations, so two people with no shared language can talk as easily as old friends.
It sounds like it should already exist. It doesn’t. ✨🌍
We’re a small, well-funded team in central London, backed by people who built the tech already in your pocket. We’re right at the start, and no one has built this before. 🚀
The Role
You’ll join the business side of Glot as a generalist, working with our Chief of Staff. Your starting point is operations: the systems, suppliers, office, onboarding and registers that keep an eight-person company running properly, and the processes nobody has written down yet. The scope is yours to grow: as the company does, you’ll own operations outright, with the team and tools to run it. We’d rather hire someone sharp and let the scope follow their strengths than write a narrow job and hope it fits.
Examples of what you'll do
- Operations: the office, equipment, suppliers, insurance, tools and subscriptions, onboarding and offboarding. If it is done twice, turn it into a system.
- Processes and registers: keep how we work written down and current (contracts, obligations, decisions, policies), so a second person could run any process. Work with our accountants and lawyers as inputs, not as areas you own.
- Projects: own a defined project from brief to done, such as setting up a new entity process, a benefits review, or the operating cadence for a new team.
- Decision support: pull the numbers, write the one-page brief, and give the Founder and Chief of Staff a clear recommendation.
What we're looking for
- Sharp and fast. You get to the point, you can hold a problem in your head, and you can explain it simply to someone who has not read the documents. We care about this more than credentials.
- A builder. You notice a task done twice and turn it into a process. You have built something, a system, a function or a product, rather than only maintained one.
- Precise. You notice the missing receipt, the wrong date, the step nobody documented. Detail is not a chore to you; it is how things stay fixed.
- Low ego. You are here to make the company work, not to be seen doing it. You change your mind when the reasoning is sound.
- Structured. Four to six years running processes end to end in consulting, a startup operations role, or something equally demanding, and you left them better documented than you found them.
- Right to work in the UK. You must already have it; we’re open to sponsoring a visa after a successful probation.
What you'll get
- Equity: meaningful equity as an early employee.
- Holidays: 25 days’ annual leave, plus UK bank holidays.
- Benefits: workplace pension, private medical insurance, plus unlimited snacks and drinks in the office. We’re looking into other benefits, don’t hesitate to offer your insights!
- Growth: real ownership of how the company runs, with the scope of operations growing as the company does.
