About the Role
The business operations team at Base is a lean group of generalists who take high-stakes, not-very-defined problems, gives them structure, and drives them to completion. The work changes with the company's priorities, and you will get results through clarity, pace, and follow-through.
Responsibilities
- Own one high-leverage problem at a time; today that's the integration of a recent acquisition; next it might be a commercial partnership, a market entry, or a financing
- Structure ambiguous problems; define the goal, name the owners, write the memo that forces the tradeoff, and get leadership to a decision in days, not weeks
- Build the analysis yourself; the model, the scoreboard, the one-pager
- Run programs across functions without authority; rally owners in engineering, market operations, legal, finance, and customer operations around the mission
- Work directly with Base's leadership team; your work usually touches the highest-level decisions
- Know the business cold; spend time with the deployment, markets, and customer teams so your recommendations survive contact with reality
Requirements
- 4-8 years including a foundation at a top consulting firm with top-bucket ratings; bonus points if followed by an operating seat where you owned outcomes, not recommendations
- A cross-functional program you personally ran end to end; an integration, market entry, partnership launch, or turnaround
- Analytical horsepower; you build the model yourself, sanity-check it against reality, and know which three numbers matter
- Writing that moves decisions
- Comfort operating without a map; you define your own mandate, create structure where none exists, and don't need permission to start
- Low ego, high ownership; you'll chase down a wire confirmation and present to the leadership team in the same afternoon
- Fluency working alongside AI; you use agents to multiply your output, and you know when to check their work
