LinkedInleadEnglish-friendly
Neural Frames is a leading AI music video generator, turning any song into a fully produced music video in minutes. We’re bootstrapped, profitable, and generating more than $6M in annualized revenue. Our ambition is to build a category-defining company that helps tens of millions of audio creators visualize and promote their work. Our next target is a $15M run rate.We’ve reached this point with a small, ambitious team and very little organizational overhead. Now the company is growing quickly. We’re hiring across product, engineering and growth, operating an increasingly complex AI infrastructure, and making decisions that have consequences across the entire business.We’re looking for our first Head of Business Operations to build the operating system for this next stage.You’ll work directly with the founder and closely with our Founder’s Associate and functional leads. You’ll bring structure to financial planning, hiring, company priorities, decision-making and cross-functional execution, while protecting the speed and ownership that got us here.This is not a role for someone who wants to introduce corporate processes from a distance. You’ll decide what structure we genuinely need, build it yourself, and remove anything that slows the team down. If this works, the founder spends substantially more time on product, customers and strategy, while the company becomes more predictable and better run.How we measure successWithin your first month, you understand how Neural Frames makes money, how decisions currently get made, where the organization loses time, and which recurring responsibilities still depend on the founder and Founder’s Associate. Together, we agree on a precise list of work you will take over.Within 90 days, management reporting and headcount planning are reliable, company priorities have clear owners, important obligations are documented, and cross-functional decisions consistently reach completion. You have removed at least 10 to 15 hours of recurring weekly work from the founder and Founder’s Associate without adding unnecessary meetings or approval layers.Over the following year, Neural Frames should be able to operate as a substantially larger company without the founder acting as its coordination layer. Functional leads should have clear accountability, hiring and spending should follow explicit plans, and the founder should spend most of his time on product, customers, strategy and exceptional talent.TasksBuild and run our company operating cadence: weekly leadership priorities, monthly business reviews, quarterly planning, clear decisions, owners and follow-throughCreate a dependable view of revenue, cash, margin, cloud costs, payroll and committed hiring, working with our accountants and external advisers where neededOwn our rolling financial and headcount plan, including downside, base and upside scenariosHelp design the organization as we grow: responsibilities, reporting lines, decision rights and interfaces between Product, Engineering, Growth, Design, Operations and SupportStrengthen hiring and onboarding together with our Founder’s Associate and HR support, while keeping functional leaders accountable for the quality of their teamsImprove how managers set expectations, communicate decisions and hold people accountableOwn recurring vendor, contract, insurance, compliance and administrative coordination, and make sure important obligations never depend on somebody remembering themLead difficult cross-functional initiatives that do not sit neatly inside one teamIdentify work that unnecessarily depends on the founder, transfer it to the right owner, and keep it thereGive the founder honest, evidence-based input, even when the right answer is uncomfortableRequirementsYou have significant experience in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Finance, an operational Chief of Staff role, or a similar position inside a fast-growing product companyYou have helped a company scale through a stage similar to ours, ideally from roughly 20 people toward 50 to 100, and personally built parts of the operating systemYou understand company finance.
