Fluency is enabling the autonomous Enterprise. (in person).

You’re needed to help pioneer a new software category that will change how enterprises work. Welcome to the operating system of the future.

Fluency is looking for a next-level Operations Lead to build the autonomous enterprise.

You’ll be designing and running the machinery that allows a fundamentally new kind of enterprise software company to scale. There is no template. There is no playbook. You will build the system that lets everything else move faster.

This role sits at the center of the company. Enterprise deployments, security posture, deal execution, cross-geo cadence, internal truth, automation. If it touches execution, it runs through you.

You’ll work on problems that don’t have standard answers. How do you deploy novel AI systems into the most locked-down enterprises on earth? How do you maintain continuous compliance without slowing velocity? How do you keep US GTM and AU engineering operating as a single organism across time zones?

You’ll invent operating primitives. New workflows for enterprise security reviews. New internal systems for complex deals. New reporting that actually reflects reality. New automation that deletes entire categories of manual work.

You’re operating at the bleeding edge of company-building, where ops is not support — it is leverage.

We’re backed by T1 VCs like Accel + more, and we’re hitting an inflection point with enterprises globally.

You’ll work directly with the founders. The challenges are non-trivial: enterprise readiness at scale, enterprise certifications as a living system, high-stakes enterprise deals, and execution across continents without bureaucracy.

About the Role We’re looking for someone with:

Proven ability to design systems and then implement them end-to-end

Strong technical fluency: scripting, integrations, internal tools, and automation

Comfort reasoning about engineering and product constraints

Exceptional written communication with high precision

Extreme ownership and bias toward closing loops

Ability to operate under ambiguity and pace

There will be an expectation to stay close to business context, which could involve:

Sitting in on enterprise customer calls

Working directly with GTM on live deals

Translating enterprise constraints into internal systems

Acting as the connective tissue between product, engineering, and leadership

What You’ll Own Enterprise Deployment Operations

Repeatable processes to deploy Fluency into large enterprise accounts

IT and security review workflows

Procurement and access paths

Controlled, on-prem, or restricted deployment models when required

Security & Compliance Operations

Continuous SOC 2 maintenance (no audit fire drills)

Operationalized controls, evidence capture, and ownership

Driving additional certifications as the business scales

Deal Execution Infrastructure

Internal systems for complex enterprise deals

Stakeholder maps, decision tracking, risk registers

Timelines, handoffs, escalation standards

Cross-Geo Operating Cadence

Execution systems keeping US GTM and AU engineering aligned

Written updates, decision logs, SLAs, ownership models

Minimal-meeting, high-clarity coordination

Operational Reporting

Dashboards connecting product, delivery, GTM, and leadership

Weekly truth-level visibility across the company

Workflow Automation

Replace manual work with scripts and lightweight tooling

CRM hygiene, onboarding checklists, deployment runbooks

Compliance evidence capture and internal ops tooling

Partnership & Channel Ops (as needed)

Operating models where partners own relationships and Fluency delivers

Enablement, responsibilities, comms paths, execution standards

Nice to Have

Experience maintaining SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, or similar certifications

Experience supporting enterprise procurement and security reviews

Exposure to US operational context (vendors, contracting, employment, tax)

Experience building reporting that bridges technical teams and leadership
