About the role
The Role
We are looking for a highly driven generalist to join our Founder's Office and work directly with the Head of Operations on high-priority business and operational initiatives. This is a dynamic role with no predefined functional boundaries. You could be analysing business performance, improving operational processes, building AI-powered automations, working with product and engineering teams, or evaluating new business opportunities.
You will be expected to move seamlessly between strategy and execution. You should be comfortable taking ambiguous problems, breaking them down, developing solutions and driving implementation without waiting for detailed instructions. The role requires someone who doesn't just identify problems or make recommendations but takes ownership of solving them and measuring the impact.
What You'll Own
Business Analysis: Analyse business performance, identify gaps and trends, and generate actionable insights to support data-driven decision-making.
Process Improvement: Identify operational inefficiencies, redesign workflows and build scalable processes to improve productivity, turnaround time and customer experience.
AI & Automation: Identify repetitive tasks and leverage AI tools, automation platforms and technology to eliminate manual work and improve team productivity.
Strategic Projects: Drive high-priority cross-functional projects from problem identification and planning to execution and outcome measurement.
Product & Technology: Work with product and engineering teams to translate business challenges and customer needs into technology-led solutions.
Business Research: Evaluate new business opportunities, partnerships, products and markets through structured research and analysis.
Customer Experience: Identify recurring customer pain points and work with relevant teams to improve service delivery and overall customer experience.
Business Initiatives: Take ownership of critical projects and priorities that require cross-functional coordination, problem-solving and execution.
The nature of projects will evolve with business priorities. You may work on short-term problem statements as well as initiatives that develop into long-term responsibilities.
What We're Looking For
Analytical Thinking: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Ability to work with data, identify patterns and translate insights into actionable business decisions. Familiarity with Excel, Google Sheets, SQL or similar analytical tools.
Technology Orientation: Comfortable working with technology platforms, dashboards and business tools. Ability to quickly learn new tools and identify opportunities to use technology to solve business problems.
AI & Automation: Actively uses AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude to improve productivity, analyse information, solve problems and build simple tools, automations or workflows.
Problem-Solving: Ability to break down ambiguous problems, understand underlying processes and systems, identify root causes and develop practical solutions.
Ownership & Execution: Ability to independently drive projects end to end, manage priorities, coordinate with stakeholders and ensure timely execution.
Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex information and drive alignment across teams.
Learning Agility: Curious, adaptable and comfortable navigating unfamiliar business domains, taking initiative and learning on the go.
Good to Have
Experience in a startup, consulting, business operations, product management, strategy or analytics role.
Exposure to AI tools, no-code/low-code platforms, workflow automation or building internal tools.
Basic understanding of SQL, data analysis, APIs or working with technology teams.
Experience managing cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders.
An interesting project, tool or workflow independently built using AI or technology.
Why This Role
Leadership Exposure: Work directly with the Head of Operations on important business and operational priorities.
Broad Business Exposure: Gain hands-on experience across business operations, product, technology, customer experience and strategy.
End-to-End Ownership: Take projects from identifying problems to implementing solutions and measuring their impact.
Opportunity to Build: Work on business challenges where existing processes or solutions may not yet exist.
Accelerated Learning: Develop a strong understanding of how a growing InsurTech business operates and scales.
This role is particularly suited to someone who aspires to build a business, lead a business or product function, or become a strong generalist operator in a high-growth startup.
How We'll Measure Success (First 6-12 Months)
Independently identify business and operational problems and drive them towards resolution.
Successfully execute high-priority cross-functional projects within defined timelines.
Build AI-powered workflows and automations that reduce manual effort and improve team productivity.
Identify process gaps and implement improvements that positively impact operational efficiency and customer experience.
Generate meaningful business insights through data analysis and research.
Demonstrate the ability to take ownership of increasingly complex business initiatives.
