Why This Role Exists

Why This Role Exists
A 25-person company that operates like a Special Forces unit needs someone who owns the operational environment - the physical space, the daily logistics, the vendor relationships, the administrative systems that let everyone else focus on product. This is not an assistant role. This is an operational owner who makes the company run.
What You Will Own
- Office and workplace operations. Everything that makes the physical environment work - space management, catering, equipment, visitors, events. You own the experience of being at Product.ai.
- Administrative systems. Insurance, benefits administration, compliance, vendor contracts, expense management. The operational substrate that nobody thinks about when it works perfectly.
- Executive support. Calendar, travel, meeting logistics for the CEO and leadership. Not just scheduling - anticipating needs, preparing context, managing follow-through.
Who You Are
- How you think. You see the system behind the task. When something needs doing, you think about how to make it never need doing again. You're organized to the point of being predictive - you prepare for what's needed before it's asked.
- How you work. You handle complexity without drama. Multiple priorities, competing deadlines, last-minute changes - you navigate all of it with calm competence. You communicate clearly and proactively.
- What you've probably done. Managed office operations, executive support, or administrative systems at a company where you were trusted with real responsibility. We care about your judgment and reliability, not your company logos.
- Who this isn't for. This role is wrong if you see administrative work as beneath you or as a stepping stone to something else. You'll thrive here if you take genuine pride in making everything run perfectly and in being the person everyone relies on.
How We Evaluate
Compensation & Ownership
- Total first-year comp: $175,000 - $250,000 (base + equity + profit sharing).
- Base: $100,000 - $140,000.
- Equity: PIUs - $0 strike, Capital Gains, actual ownership.
- Profit sharing: Annual free cash flow participation.
- Liquidity: Annual tender offer.
- Benefits: 100% premium coverage. Unlimited PTO.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
