Founding AI-Native Operations Lead - San Francisco - Aonic
Description
Team: Operations Reports to: CEO Compensation: $140,000 $180,000 base + substantial equity (targeting 7-figure annual comp through upside) Location: San Francisco (Jackson Square) - onsite, high-collaboration roleAbout Aonic
We're building the modern, healthy PepsiCo: a next-generation functional nutrition company making vibrant wellness effortless for millions of Americans through scientifically advanced, delicious products like Aonic Complete (our patent-pending all-in-one supplement) and Aonic Fuel (clean, high-protein fuel with 32g protein and 5g fiber).
We run a highly efficient, high-growth organization. Our goals for 2026 are clear: grow 20X, hit $40M ARR and profitability with a lean team of just 10 FTEs.
We prioritize skill and AI over headcount - no bloated middle management, no slow corporate processes. We believe in extreme efficiency, AI-driven automation, and a small team of high-agency builders who move faster and smarter than anyone else in the market.
This is a role for a hands-on operator who wants to own operations end-to-end leverage AI to 10x our output, and scale a brand to 8-figures.
The Role
As Founding AI-Native Operations Lead, you will own and build the operational backbone of Aonic.
You are not joining an existing department. You are building it.
You will run day-to-day operations end-to-end while designing AI-driven systems that continuously remove friction, reduce manual work, and improve customer experience.
This is an operations-first role, not a tooling role. AI is your advantage, not your job title.
You will operate at the intersection of real-world execution, systems design and business judgment.
If something breaks, you fix it. If something is manual, you automate it. If something should not exist, you remove it.
What Youll Own
End-to-End Operations
Hard Requirements
To be successful in this role, all of the following must be true:
Nice to Haves
Why Join Aonic?
Foundational Ownership You will build the operations function from the ground up and define how the company actually runs.
Real Leverage Your systems will enable a small team to operate like a much larger one.
Steep Growth Curve This role is designed for someone who wants to grow into senior operational leadership by doing real work, not by managing layers.
Elite, Small Team You will work closely with highly driven operators and the CEO in a no-bureaucracy environment.
Modern Stack We invest aggressively in the best AI tools and expect you to use them to their full potential.
