ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an Operations Associate to join the founding team at Known https://www.knowndating.com/ and help execute the most exciting consumer launch of 2025. You’ll work closely with our Head of Operations - driving GTM strategy, accelerating partnerships, enabling recruiting, and keeping our internal engine running smoothly.

This is a rare chance to get in early at a well-funded startup ($10M seed from one of the top consumer VCs in SF), build an entirely new category in AI-powered dating, and take on real ownership from day one. You’ll move fast, learn fast, and help shape how Known enters the world.

• Drive Partnerships - source, contact, and manage relationships with venues, creators, and brand partners
• Coordinate Marketing Efforts - organize campaigns, events, and content operations with the growth team
• Recruiting Support - help build pipelines, coordinate candidate experience, and keep hiring on track
• Financial Ops - expense management, payment tracking, and helping maintain a healthy financial pulse
• Work Directly With Founders - be a key part of daily decisions across product, growth, and operations
• Operational Excellence - build processes that make us faster, smarter, and always improving

WHO YOU ARE

• ~1 year of experience in consulting, investment banking, or a high-performance environment
• A highly organized operator - you make chaos feel like clarity
• Strong communicator (written and verbal)
• Comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into action
• Scrappy, resourceful, and energized by doing whatever it takes to make us win
• Excited about startups, tech, and redefining how people meet
• Based in San Francisco - or ready to be here

WHY KNOWN

• Massive opportunity - the future of dating needs a new model
• Real ownership - equity in a company built to scale
• High-trust, high-autonomy environment
• Access & impact - work alongside founders daily and see your work go live fast
• Backed by the best - $10M seed from top consumer VC in SF
• Build a category-defining product that helps people connect offline, in the real world
