The company is backed by Y Combinator and other top-tier investors. We’re a small, fast-moving team with a mission to help 1 billion people speak English clearly and advance their careers.

The Role

We’re hiring a Business Operations Associate: a capable, resourceful generalist who thrives in ambiguity and can execute across content, data, user research, ML-adjacent workflows, and general ops. This is a high-ownership role for someone early in their career who wants to work hard, learn quickly, and touch nearly every part of the company. This role is fully in-person at our NoHo, NYC office.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain lean processes, tools, and recurring reports for the team
  • Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks as the company scales
  • Own cross-functional projects end-to-end, ensuring clarity, speed, and follow-through
  • Support user research cycles and synthesize findings
  • Pull and analyze data to support product decisions and experiments
  • Support our Machine Learning team with structured data tasks (labeling, QA)
  • Support our content marketing efforts with sourcing and coordinating creators and content workflows
  • Support hiring efforts by sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, and keeping the process organized
  • Coordinate with external vendors, contractors, and partners to ensure high-quality deliverables

This role is intentionally broad. One week you’re coordinating a team event and cleaning up a reporting spreadsheet; the next you’re helping source candidates, triaging a new tool rollout, and doing a small data pull for the founders.

What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of experience in a fast-paced environment (startup, consulting, operations, product, content, or generalist roles)
  • Smart, organized, and versatile: you learn fast
  • Low ego, high ownership: you execute with speed and follow-through
  • Strong with data: confident in Sheets/Excel and comfortable deriving insights from messy inputs
  • Clear communicator who writes well and can structure thinking concisely
  • Comfortable switching between creative, operational, analytical, and research-oriented work
  • Excited to be in-office in NYC and deeply involved in the day-to-day of building a startup

Compensation & Perks

  • Salary based on experience and seniority.
  • Equity: Own a real piece of BoldVoice’s success.
  • Benefits: Excellent health, dental and vision insurance.
  • A+ Team: Join a small and mighty team where your work has immediate impact
  • Mission: Empower millions of immigrants and non-native speakers to speak English with confidence
