Operations Associate

SUMMARY OF THE ROLE:

Maze is an AI-native cybersecurity company. Behind the product there's an operations function that keeps everything else moving, and right now most of it runs through one person, our VP Operations. This role takes a big chunk of that off him and, over time, runs it better than he does.

The work splits three ways. There's the recurring machine that has to run every week whether anyone's watching or not: payments, expenses, payroll, filings, compliance deadlines. There's the paperwork that gets enterprise deals over the line: order forms, partner packs, NDAs, security questionnaires, procurement portals. And there's the logistics that hold a fully remote team together: quarterly offsites for 40-50 people, travel, the gatherings that make it feel like a company. You'll do most of it on an AI tooling stack we build in-house, which is what lets one person cover this much.

I'll be honest about what this is and isn't. It's an execution role first and it stays one. The day-to-day is contracts, payment runs, filings and rooming lists, and in 18 months it's still that, with more volume and better tooling. There is real growth here and genuine exposure to how the company is run, including work that ends up in front of the board. But that comes from doing the operational job well, not from skipping past it. If the execution is the part you'd want to get through quickly to reach something else, this isn't your role.

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR JOURNEY:

- Run the weekly money rhythm: Invoice intake, payment runs, expense triage, and a second pair of hands on payroll. It happens every week, it has to be right, and it has to be on time. No drama.

- Own the compliance calendar: Company filings, per-hire state registrations, insurance renewals, sponsorship reporting. Dozens of hard external deadlines. You build the one place they all live and you make sure none of them slip.

- Run and extend the AI stack: Our ops tooling is built in-house: contract ...
