Overview Pluralis Research carries out foundational research on Protocol Learning: multi‑participant training of foundation models where no single participant has, or can ever obtain, a full copy of the model. The purpose of Protocol Learning is to facilitate the creation of community‑trained and community‑owned frontier models with self‑sustaining economics. As a Business Operations (BizOps) Associate, you'll build up to owning end‑to‑end projects across go‑to‑market, operations, and “the 100 other broken things” that need fixing in a startup. One day, you’ll be managing campaigns directly with our CEO, the next you’ll be fixing a broken integration or engaging with contributors. This is by no means an easy gig, but it is the best entry point into a startup one could ask for—exposure to all facets of an AI business, working directly with the executive team at a time of rapid growth. Responsibilities GTM Execution: You want to own and drive go‑to‑market strategy and execution—supporting our growth and partnerships initiatives. Operational Excellence: Build and maintain operational infrastructure: processes, tooling, reporting. You find something broken, you relish in fixing it. Strategic Projects: Exposure to strategic projects across partnerships, community, marketing, and ecosystem development. Business Ops: Directly support our founder & CoS in day‑to‑day operations of the business. High Agency: Pick up and run with whatever is the most important task on any given week. What we’re looking for In General: 1‑2 years of experience in management consulting (tier‑1), high‑growth startup operations, or venture capital. High Agency: Demonstrated bias toward action. You default to doing, not asking for permission. Strong analytical toolkit: Comfortable building models, pulling apart data, and synthesizing findings into clear recommendations. Excellent written and verbal communication: You can draft a professional memo and rally an executive team behind it. Genuine interest in AI: Whether current models, decentralized systems, or frontier technology. You may be non‑technical, but you're curious enough to go deeper than the average person. Bonus Points Show us what you tinker with that’s AI related on weekends. Experience with highly complex technical infrastructure. Highly succinct in actions and impact. Compensation & Benefits Competitive base salary. Equity that represents meaningful ownership in an early‑stage startup. Remote‑first culture. Regular cadence of offsites and opportunity to work in the US. Direct access to the founder and exposure to every function of the business. NOTE: This role is only open to candidates with full working rights and based in Australia. Recruiters, please do not reach out—this role is already covered. #J-18808-Ljbffr
