COO / Growth Operator (SaaS)
Company: Allen AI Type: Full-Time
About Allen AI: ********************
Allen AI is all in on helping beginner entrepreneurs and online content creators succeed in the digital economy.
We are building the #1 AI tool + link-in-bio platform for creators on Instagram and TikTok.
Our mission is help ordinary people create extraordinary online businesses
And we plan on doing that by becoming the one-stop, all-in creator software that helps users:
Find the most viral content online (currently on Instagram, will expand to TikTok, YouTube, etc)
Write viral content in their own voice using AI
Auto-generate a full link-in-bio store website, customized using AI by scanning their social profile - including their brand voice, color palette, digital products, and layout preferences
The result? A software experience that is simpler, cleaner, and more elegant than anything else on the market - built by creators, for creators.
Our founder, Richard Yu, is not your typical SaaS CEO. He practices what he preaches. Over the last 5 years, Richard has scaled his digital product business from $0 to $28M+ in sales, while building a lean, profitable, and impact-driven digital products business, and a personal brand of 1.2M+ followers across Instagram and YouTube.
Unlike most software founders who build for creators without being creators themselves, Richard still actively sells digital products, mentors creators, and works 1-on-1 with the same people this tool is designed for.
With 6,000+ clients served, across every niche imaginable - fitness, faith, relationships, therapy, online business, you name it- Allen AI is being built directly from the frontline feedback of real users, not guesswork.
This is your chance to help us build the tool the creator economy has been waiting for.
About the Role
We are looking for a world-class, execution-obsessed operator to join Allen AI as our Founding COO / Operator. This is not a cushy exec job. This is a boots-on-the-ground role for someone who loves building from $1M to $50M ARR.
You will work directly with Richard to " + "own the day-to-day execution, so he can go all-in on content, traffic generation, and brand building.
You will be the engine behind the machine. If you've ever wanted to build a category-defining SaaS company from the inside, this is your shot.
What You'll Own
Daily Operations: Run the business day-to-day. Manage team, meetings, KPIs, and execution across departments.
Product Execution: Be the product owner working closely with our lead dev (Ivan). Prioritize features, gather user feedback, and ship updates.
Team Leadership: Hold people accountable. Build hiring systems. Fire fast, promote fast. Make a world-class team under you.

Director of Services
Duckbill
Associate director job in San Francisco, CA
We're Duckbill, a small startup building solutions that enterprise teams rely on. We're looking for a Director of Services to build and lead our forward-deployed FinOps team that embeds with customers to solve complex cloud financial challenges.
About The Role
We've built something that enterprise customers genuinely value-they're paying us, renewing, and referring others. We've been running services for many years, helping enterprises navigate complex cloud financial management challenges. Now we're scaling: formalizing Duckbill Services as a forward-deployed FinOps team that works directly within customer environments while systematically feeding insights back into our product development.
This isn't about delivering standard consulting engagements. You'll scale a team of specialist experts-FinOps practitioners, finance professionals, procurement specialists, and cloud cost engineers-who operate autonomously in enterprise environments and capture intelligence that drives our software roadmap.
As our first dedicated services leader, you'll take our proven services capabilities and build them into a scalable function. We have customer demand, years of successful engagements, and a clear vision, but now it's time to build the team, processes, and systematic feedback loops that turn customer engagements into competitive advantages.
We work together in the office in San Francisco three days per week, so you must be located in the SF Bay Area and willing to work in the office on a regular basis.
What You'll Do
Build the team: Recruit specialist experts who can operate independently in complex enterprise environments across FinOps, finance, procurement, and cloud cost management
Design systematic intelligence capture: Create processes that translate field work into product features and competitive advantages
Lead customer relationships: Navigate C-suite conversations, negotiate complex service agreements, and manage executive stakeholder relationships
Scale delivery excellence: Build repeatable frameworks for high-impact customer engagements that create lasting competitive moats
Manage complex negotiations: Lead contract discussions and structure engagements that align customer success with our strategic objectives
Drive product integration: Work closely with Product to establish feedback loops that ensure customer insights systematically inform our roadmap and development
Enable sales success: Partner with Sales to structure service offerings that accelerate deal closure and expand customer relationships
What We're Looking For
5+ years leading professional services organizations, preferably in B2B SaaS
Expertise in cloud financial management, FinOps, or related consulting
Track record building services teams from early stage to scale
Experience using services to enhance software adoption and expansion
Proven ability to negotiate complex service agreements and manage executive stakeholder relationships
Comfortable presenting to and influencing C-level executives on strategic initiatives
A desire to work in a small, early-stage startup
Why This Role Matters
Direct impact: Your work directly influences our product roadmap and creates sustainable competitive advantages
Customer partnership: Work with enterprise customers who are genuinely invested in our success
Growth opportunity: Build and lead our services function as we scale into a global capability
Meaningful equity: Significant ownership stake with real upside potential
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation for this role is a salary range of $180,000 to $220,000 plus early-stage equity, commission, and/or bonuses. We provide a 401(k), as well as healthcare, vision, and dental benefits, with premiums fully covered by the company. Dependents are covered 50%. We offer 4 weeks of PTO.
About Us
We are a small and growing team, which means you get the opportunity to be on the ground floor of building both the product and company. Our team includes some of the most experienced domain experts in the industry, and our customers are among the biggest cloud spenders in the world, which means the scale and complexity of the challenges we solve are truly at the cutting edge. We're currently in a semi-stealth mode while we're focusing on building the initial product.
