Founding Operations Manager
About the role
Human Archive is a research lab, founded by Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers, building custom hardware to model human embodied intelligence -- data used for robotics and world modeling. As Founding Operations Manager you'd own the end-to-end lifecycle of global field operations: sourcing site partnerships, deploying and supporting field teams, and ensuring clean, audited data offload from real-world data-collection deployments.
What you'll do
- Source and manage deployment partnerships globally to unlock access to real-world labor environments
- Own field operations from site readiness through post-site closure
- Lead field teams and ensure reliable execution during deployments
- Run high-velocity data collection campaigns under real-world constraints
- Work directly with sensing hardware, deployment kits, upload systems, and offloading workflows
- Troubleshoot hardware, deployment, and operational issues in the field
- Improve operational systems across deployments, audits, inventory, and payouts
Requirements
- Ideal for someone early in their career (1-5 years of experience, or an exceptional dropout)
- Strong execution ability and willingness to take ownership in fast-moving environments
- Ability to manage deployments and field teams under real-world constraints
- Strong technical intuition and comfort working directly with hardware and operational tooling
- Strong communication skills and ability to make decisions quickly with limited information
- Prior experience in operations, logistics, consulting, marketplaces, field work, or startups is a plus
