About the Role

This role sits within a high-performing Operations team of generalists driving scale and efficiency in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment. The focus is on building and managing the infrastructure and organizational processes that support secure, classified workstreams—from facility activation through sustainment—with a strong emphasis on operational readiness, cross-functional agility, and rapid scalability.


This role is ideal for someone with:

  • Direct experience standing up and maintaining classified environments, including SCIFs and secure networks
  • A high-ownership, low-ego mindset—you move fast, take initiative, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction
  • Comfort working across multiple business functions—real estate, infosec, finance, and facilities—often at the same time
  • Eligibility for a Top Secret clearance, which is mandatory for success in this role
  • A deep interest in mission-driven, national security-focused work and a passion for enabling technical teams to operate securely at speed


Key Responsibilities

  • Build and manage the infrastructure supporting classified capabilities, enabling the rapid deployment and sustainment of secure networks and facilities
  • Lead planning and execution for facilities and systems that enable engineering and technology development
  • Intake and triage requirements across internal teams, anticipating blockers before they arise
  • Oversee strategic real estate investments to meet classified operational needs
  • Manage site expansion initiatives and classified facility planning
  • Lead integration of people, systems, and workflows following acquisitions or org changes
  • Execute special projects across industrial security, infosec, finance, enterprise operations, and more


Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in operations, strategy, consulting, finance, or within a venture-backed high-growth environment
  • 2+ years of direct, hands-on experience establishing accredited classified environments, including both new-builds and retrofits
  • High initiative and a bias toward action; thrives in ambiguity and ownership-heavy settings
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders and communicate with leadership
  • Proven ability to solve complex, ambiguous problems with clear frameworks and people-centric solutions
  • U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance


Benefits

  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage with minimal to no cost to employees
  • Company-paid life and long-term disability insurance with optional expanded coverage
  • Generous paid time off, holiday schedules, and caregiver leave
  • Fertility, adoption, and family planning benefits
  • 24/7 mental health and wellness support, including therapy and coaching
  • Professional development stipend
  • Daily meals and stocked kitchen (in applicable office locations)
  • Commuter benefits and potential relocation support
  • 401(k) plan with traditional and Roth options (U.S. roles only)
