Were looking for an AI Business Operations Analyst to join Clara Ops and drive a new chapter of how we run the company. This is not a traditional ops role.

- Map high-friction operational workflows across Clara and prioritize them for AI-augmentation and automation building a roadmap that compounds in impact over time.
- Design deploy and iterate on AI-powered workflows using tools like Claude Code/Codex n8n and other LLM APIs to do things that werent possible before and replace manual repetitive or error-prone processes.

- Build and maintain operational dashboards in Metabase to surface the KPIs that matter and flag anomalies before they become problems.
- Partner with Product and Product Marketing on process changes tied to new feature launches ensuring operational readiness before every release.
- Serve as the internal expert on AI tooling for operations evaluating new tools sharing what works and building the internal playbook on how Clara uses AI.
- Identify data gaps and work with Engineering to create the instrumentation or pipelines needed to power better operational decisions.
- Document processes clearly so that what you build can be maintained improved and handed off not just understood by you.
- Youre excited about leading a team of AIs - not becoming a people manager - and have an unlimited token budget.
Were looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus not a requirement.
Must haves:
- Experience working at top consulting firm (Bain/BCG/McKinsey) or similar professional services or/and high-velocity startup.

- Comfortable working directly with LLM APIs (OpenAI Anthropic etc.) to build operational tools and agents even if youre not a software engineer.
- Strong analytical skills comfortable querying data in SQL or working with BI tools like Metabase to build the operational visibility Clara needs.

- Excellent communicator you translate technical solutions into business terms for non-technical stakeholders and business needs into precise specs for engineers.
