Head of Operations

Full-time

About Primerli

Primerli was built by management consultants to solve a familiar problem: how to quickly earn credibility with clients when you are brand new to their industry. We created a way to learn an industry in under an hour (Think the “I know kung fu” scene from The Matrix, but for business). Our Primers became an instant hit and are now the go-to solution for the world’s top consulting firms.

But that was just the beginning. We soon realized this problem wasn’t unique to consultants: professionals of all types face a similar challenge. If you cannot speak your client's or customer’s language, you cannot connect.

As business gets more complex, it’s become a modern Tower of Babel. Each industry has its own language. Specialists speak in acronyms and shorthand. Outsiders struggle to keep up. Fifty years ago, it wasn’t such a big deal—people spent their whole careers in one industry. Today, careers are non-linear. You switch industries, work with new clients, and sell into new sectors. To build rapport and have a meaningful impact, you need a way in.

That’s where Primerli comes in. We build the bridge that makes these connections possible. Our one-hour primers help professionals quickly understand the essentials of any industry—products, customers, value chains, and economics—so they can show up credible, confident, and ready to engage.

Today, millions of professionals at top consulting and tech companies use Primerli. Our content gets rave reviews. Get a feel for it yourself – check out our sample videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@primerli

About the Role

Primerli is scaling fast - on track for 10x growth in 3 years - and we are evolving our operations to power that growth trajectory. We are looking for a Head of Operations who is curious, resourceful, and ready to roll up their sleeves and make things happen.

As the Head of Operations, you’ll take ownership of key operational workflows and collaborate with all other functions to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll have the opportunity to lead and contribute to a variety of initiatives, from workflow automation to strategic special projects. Your day-to-day activities will involve:

  • Running key operational workflows and ensuring seamless cross-functional coordination
  • Leveraging AI and automation tools to streamline internal processes
  • Supporting our enterprise customers by troubleshooting technical issues and delivering timely, thoughtful assistance
  • Maintaining and analyzing reports and dashboards to track performance and uncover actionable insights
  • Driving the execution of strategic initiatives and special projects that accelerate business growth

While the company is based in California, you will work remotely with a global team.

What we’re looking for

Experience & Skills

  • STEM background: bachelor’s degree in a STEM field
  • Operations experience: 1-3 years of experience in operations or a similar role (consulting or startup experience a plus)
  • Strategic problem-solver: able to break down complex and ambiguous problems and build scalable solutions
  • Analytical skills: comfort working with data and BI tools (programming experience is a plus)
  • AI native: familiar with (and excited to learn) AI tools that enhance personal productivity and expand what you’re capable of achieving

Value & Attitude

  • Get-stuff-done attitude: you are self-motivated, can manage timelines, and stay true to your commitments
  • Attention to detail: you are highly organized, detail-oriented, and always sanity check your work
  • Strong values: you care about others, not just yourself, and you see competitiveness as complementary, not a barrier, to showing compassion, kindness, and empathy
  • Growth mindset: you are intellectually curious and excited to learn new skills and tools to adapt to the dynamic scope of this role
