About the job
SnapMagic is building the digital growth engine for the global electronics industry.
More than 2 million engineers use SnapMagic every year to discover electronic components and design products faster. Behind the scenes, we're building the operating system for electronics design: one of the world's largest electronics component databases, a platform the industry already trusts, and a new generation of AI tools that take engineers from idea to working hardware faster than ever before.
With strong revenue growth, proven product-market fit, and backing from leading Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator, we're scaling fast and building the team to take us there. The next chapter of how the world's hardware gets designed is being written now, and we want you in the room for it.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building clarity out of complexity, using AI and automation to create leverage, and earning a seat at the most strategic parts of the business by making execution work.
Who this is for
We’re hiring a Head of Business Operations to join SnapMagic’s leadership team and help drive both strategy and execution across the company.
This is a leadership, hands-on builder role for someone who can move fluidly between company-level strategy and detailed execution, and who naturally looks for ways to use AI, automation, and systems to multiply output. You will partner closely with the CEO and functional leaders to turn priorities into clear plans, operating systems, automated workflows, and consistent follow-through.
Your mission is simple: help turn SnapMagic’s momentum into a scalable operating machine. You will own clarity, cadence, and follow-through across the company, whether that means improving internal operations, sharpening GTM execution, strengthening recruiting operations, or building the systems that make execution repeatable.
You will work closely with the CEO and functional leads as a trusted partner in both decision-making and execution. Your scope will span business operations, GTM strategy, recruiting operations, internal systems, company planning, and cross-functional execution.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the full operating loop: diagnosing ambiguous problems, creating the plan, rolling up their sleeves to implement it, and then turning it into a repeatable system. It will include plenty of rinse/wash/repeat operating discipline, but that work is the doorway into the most strategic parts of the company: launching new products, improving 0→1 GTM motions, scaling customer and partner operations, and helping the leadership team turn ambitious ideas into repeatable execution.
Your role is not to do everything yourself. Your role is to design the systems, automations, AI workflows, tools, and vendor leverage that allow execution to scale without heroics.
You will:
- Partner with the CEO and leadership team on strategic priorities across business operations, GTM execution, recruiting, internal systems, and company planning
- Identify repetitive, manual, or coordination-heavy work across the company and replace it with automation, AI workflows, or better systems before it becomes anyone's job to do it by hand
- Take ambiguous, high-stakes problems directly from the CEO and own them end-to-end — diagnose, build, ship, iterate
- Run and continuously improve the company’s weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythms with discipline and consistency
- Design trigger-based workflows and automation so execution does not rely on memory, meetings, or manual follow-up
- Actively push SnapMagic toward becoming an AI-native company, defining, building, and improving the AI-enabled workflows that multiply what a small team can do
- Own recruiting operations, onboarding, and key internal workflows that help the team run smoothly.
- Maintain clean, reliable systems across HubSpot, financial tooling, documentation, and internal workflows
- Help drive GTM operating cadence, including pipeline hygiene, customer follow-through, reporting, and cross-functional execution
- Design, automate, and improve processes — while ensuring things work accurately before they are automated
- Design systems that reduce coordination overhead and multiply team leverage
- Partner on strategic company initiatives, including new product launches, 0→1 GTM motions, AI-native operating workflows, and cross-functional execution priorities
Your bar is simple and high: the company operates with clarity, reliability, and momentum. This role is deeply satisfying for someone who wants real leadership ownership and proximity to the most strategic parts of the business, while also enjoying the rinse/wash/repeat work of making processes cleaner, tighter, more automated, and more reliable. In an AI-native company, we believe how we operate becomes part of our product advantage and core company IP. At SnapMagic, strong operations and AI-native execution are not back-office support. They are a competitive advantage.
