Why Crucibl

Management consulting is a $400B industry built on selling intelligence-for-hire. The model is breaking - not slowly, but now. The biggest frontier in enterprise AI isn't better models. It's judgment at scale: taking the messy, ambiguous decisions that run 85% of the global economy and making them faster, crisper, and more defensible.

Crucibl is building that. We're profitable, growing fast, and delivering for Fortune 500 clients. We raised a $10M seed from Tier 1 VCs - then kept growing on revenue. The client pipeline is full. We're scaling to meet it.

The window to join at this stage is short.

The Role

You are the force multiplier for the CEO and the founding team. Not just an operator - a strategic partner who ensures the company scales as fast as the product. You'll bridge high-level strategy and relentless execution at a moment when both matter enormously: we have paying Fortune 500 clients and more demand than we can serve. Now we need to build the machine.

What You'll Do

Strategic Projects

• Own high-impact initiatives that cut across the business - vertical expansion, pricing strategy, and partnership development.

Operating Cadence

• Design and run the drums of the company - leadership meetings, goal-setting, and internal comms - to keep a fast-growing team aligned and moving.

Founder Extension

• Represent the founding team in meetings, synthesizing information and moving decisions forward when founders are deep in product or client delivery.

GTM & Growth

• Partner with the founding team to expand the sales pipeline, deepen client relationships, and build the commercial motion that scales beyond founder-led selling.

Client Delivery

• Help structure and scale engagement models as we grow from a handful of clients to many. You're accountable for delivery quality, not just coordination.

Engineering Partnership

• You're one of the conduits between client feedback and engineering. You ensure what clients need is what the team builds - fidelity and speed matter here.

Who You Are

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of experience; mix of structured environment (consulting, banking, PE) and operator experience at a startup is the sweet spot

• Proven commercial chops - you've built proposals, run deal cycles, and closed

• Technical fluency - comfortable working directly with engineering; you understand product well enough to translate between clients and builders

• Strong analytical instincts - you build the model, you don't just read it

• Low ego, high output - you care about the result, not the credit

Strong Signal

• Has built something, started something, or operated somewhere with nowhere to hide

• Exposure to deal ops, GTM, or client delivery functions

• Thrives in ambiguity - you've operated in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet

• Deeply curious about AI and reaches for new tools unprompted

Who You'll Work With

Our founders bring deep technology experience (Google-scale systems serving hundreds of millions of users) and domain expertise in high-stakes business decisions from top consulting and private equity firms. You'll be the connective tissue between these worlds, and between the company we are today and the company we're becoming.

Benefits & Perks

• Zero to Outcome: Seed stage means you shape the product, the culture, and the trajectory - not inherit them. The window to join at this stage is short.

• See Your Work Matter: No abstractions, no layers - you'll see exactly what you built and what it changed.

• The People Around You: A small, elite team that will raise your game. We hire for exceptional, not just experienced.

• Meaningful Equity: You're building this - you should own a piece of it. Every offer includes a comprehensive salary and equity package.

• Hybrid Schedule: 3 days in-office with real flexibility around the rest. We care about output, not optics.

• Full Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision.

• Daily Lunch & Snacks: Fueled and focused, on us.
