Operations Associate

The Role Lucid is a small team building verifiable compute infrastructure. We're looking for someone to help with all things operations. It's a job for someone who wants to see how a company actually gets built, and who's willing to do the unglamorous parts of that well. What You'll Do Own calendars, scheduling, and travel for the founding team, including complex multi-party and international coordination Coordinate with finance team on expenses, invoices, receipts, and bookkeeping hygiene Own the office and the in-person experience: space, supplies, equipment, and making sure new hires have what they need on day one Plan offsites, team events, and the occasional customer or investor visit Take on standalone projects as they come up — research, vendor comparisons, process build-out, first drafts of documents and correspondence What You'll Bring Judgment and discretion. You'll have visibility into fundraising, compensation, candidate pipelines, and customer terms. That has to be safe with you without anyone needing to say so. Follow-through. Things you take on get done, on time, without reminders. Nothing sits in your queue silently. Strong writing. You'll draft emails, documents, and candidate communications that go out under our name. Comfort with ambiguity. A lot of what you'll do doesn't have a process yet. You'll be expected to build one, not wait for one. Fluency with modern tooling — Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, e-signature and expense platforms — and the instinct to automate something the third time you do it by hand. Bonus Experience at an early-stage startup, especially sub-50 people Exposure to legal, paralegal, or contract administration work Bookkeeping or finance operations experience Recruiting coordination at volume Genuine interest in AI, infrastructure, or technology policy Where This Goes This is a role with room to grow. The person who does it well will end up owning larger pieces of how the company runs — finance operations, recruiting, legal administration, or people ops, depending on where their strengths land. If you're looking for a seat that stays exactly as scoped, this isn't it.
