About the role

SnapMagic is building the digital growth engine for the global electronics industry.

Our core platform, SnapMagic Search (formerly SnapEDA), already reaches 2M+ engineers annually and is the default discovery layer for electronic components. We’re now scaling SnapMagic Copilot, built on a proprietary dataset of 10M+ components, serving as the discovery and demand layer for the global electronics industry.

We’ve doubled revenue since our seed round with a small team operating at a very high bar. 

What we need now is someone to turn momentum into a machine.

The role

We’re hiring a Head of Operations to own and run all operations end-to-end.

This is not a coordination role.
This is not a strategy-only role.
This is not an advisor role.

This is a builder role for someone who takes pride in making things work — reliably and cleanly like clockwork. 

Your mission is simple and demanding: Build and run a well-oiled operational machine so the company can scale at an ever-faster pace. You own clarity, cadence, and follow-through across the company. When something is unclear, broken, or slow — you take responsibility for making it work.

What you’ll do

You will own business operations, people operations, internal tooling, and executive operations end-to-end.

You will:

  • Run the company’s weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythms with discipline and consistency
  • Own finance and revenue operations: payroll, commissions, invoicing, forecasting, dashboards, expense hygiene, and cash flow
  • Own recruiting and people operations: hiring pipelines, onboarding, compliance, and internal enablement
  • Maintain clean, reliable systems across HubSpot, financial tooling, documentation, and internal workflows
  • Own executive operations, including company cadences and all-hands execution
  • Design, automate, and improve processes — while ensuring things work accurately before they are automated
  • Take ownership of ambiguous, unplanned, and “gnarly” operational issues and resolve them decisively
  • Rally engineers, vendors, and teammates directly to make systems work — without default escalation

Your bar is simple and high: the trains run on time. When they don’t, it’s visible, owned, and fixed. 

What this role is not

This role is not for someone who:

  • Wants to merely advise or coordinate
  • Needs perfect process before acting
  • Avoids accountability or ownership
  • Wants narrowly scoped responsibilities
  • Prefers strategy over execution

How we work

  • In office: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • Remote: Tuesday, Thursday

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) (non-matching)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Catered lunches on in-office days
  • A sharp, low-ego, fast-moving, results-driven team

This role is for someone who

  • Has owned operations at a seed or Series A startup and knows where systems break first
  • Is obsessively detail-oriented while thinking in systems, not checklists
  • Asks incisive questions to unblock execution, not to delay decisions
  • Gets satisfaction from things working cleanly and repeatedly
  • Is calm under pressure and steady in high-responsibility environments
  • Holds themselves to standards higher than anyone else will
  • Values action over commentary and ownership over proximity
