Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of legal and operations experience with 3+ years in senior leadership roles, ideally within HR/People and preferably in high-growth SaaS or fintech startups
- A Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school or extensive experience in legal operations
- Proven track record of scaling operations (50-200+ employees)
- Deep experience in organizational operations and scalable people systems, including building cross-functional operational frameworks that integrate talent management, IT infrastructure, legal compliance, and security protocols

- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with experience using data to drive operational decisions
- Exceptional leadership and communication skills with ability to influence stakeholders at all levels

What the job involves
- We are looking for a VP of Operations to join Pulley's leadership team. You're a strategic operator who thrives on building scalable systems while maintaining our high-performance culture. You seamlessly move between big-picture planning and hands-on execution, naturally think in frameworks, and share our passion for empowering founders. This role is perfect for someone energized by scaling a fast-growing startup while preserving the culture and agility that got us here
- Partner with the leadership team to develop and execute strategic initiatives and operational plans
- Design and scale the operations organization structure by building scalable processes, systems, and frameworks that support rapid growth while maintaining our culture
- Lead quarterly and annual strategic planning processes, including goal setting, resource allocation, and performance tracking
- Lead cross-functional projects, analyze business metrics, and drive operational excellence across all departments
- Support board preparation, fundraising activities, and serve as key member of leadership team
- Make strategic resourcing decisions for when to bring in specialized external partners (legal counsel, events management, communications) versus building internal capabilities, ensuring optimal cost-effectiveness and timing for company growth stage
Our take
Due to startups raising funding in multiple stages, calculating the ownership breakdown as the business evolves can be difficult. Pulley hopes to make that process less opaque with cap-table management and scenario-modelling tools that provide founders with employee and investor equity information.
The platform enables startups to model dilution in future rounds, helps employees understand the value of their equity as the company grows, and makes maintaining equity plans faster and easier.
Based on the costs to manage cap tables and the potential opportunity lost due to companies staying private for longer periods, the market Pulley operates in is worth up to $10 billion. Competition comes from Carta and Morgan Stanley's Shareworks.
