We don't staff generalists — we match operators with founders who need real execution capacity where it matters most.\nIn this role, you'll work directly with founders and their teams as a Business Associate with a strong AI and systems focus. Your job is to spot where manual work is slowing things down and build the workflows that fix it.\nThe RoleThis is not a technical or engineering role. It's a business and systems role for someone who understands how teams operate, identifies inefficiencies fast, and uses AI tools to simplify workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and bring structure into daily operations.\nYou'll be embedded with a US startup and work closely with a founder, C-level executive, or head of a function — depending on the placement. The work varies, but the through-line is the same: you think in systems, you build things that work, and you make the team around you faster.\nSome placements are heavy on automation and tooling. Others focus more on operational structure — building the systems a startup never had time to set up properly. What's consistent: strong analytical thinking, comfort with AI tools, and the ability to go from identifying a problem to shipping a solution without much hand-holding.\nWhat You'll DoWorkflow analysis & automation\nMap how teams currently operate across ops, sales, marketing, and product — then identify where manual work can be reduced or eliminated\n\nBuild AI-powered workflows that replace repetitive tasks and create visibility where there was none\n\nDesign and implement systems that scale — not quick fixes that break in two weeks\n\nExamples of what this looks like in practice:\n\nAutomate invoicing flows — Stripe → Airtable or Notion, with reminders and tracking built in\n\nBuild CRM systems with enrichment, pipeline tracking, and reporting\n\nDesign communication systems — classification, routing, draft replies — so nothing falls through the cracks\n\nConsolidate data from tools like email, WhatsApp, and Zoom into one place the team can actually use\n\nOperations & tooling\nSet up and maintain lightweight systems in Notion, Airtable, or Google Sheets that give founders visibility without adding overhead\n\nConnect tools using integrations, webhooks, or no-code platforms so data moves automatically instead of manually\n\nDocument what you build clearly enough that someone else can maintain it\n\nFounder & team support\nWork closely with the founder or functional lead to understand priorities and translate them into systems that stick\n\nFlag inefficiencies and propose solutions proactively — don't wait to be asked\n\nCommunicate clearly about what you're building, why, and what it will change\n\nWhat We're Looking ForHard skills\nHands-on experience with LLM tools — Claude, ChatGPT — in real workflows, not just experimentation\n\nExperience building multi-step automations using n8n or similar tools\n\nAbility to connect tools and move data using integrations, webhooks, or no-code platforms\n\nExperience working with structured data in Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets\n\nUnderstanding of core business workflows — CRM pipelines, reporting, communication systems\n\nExperience using advanced AI environments such as Claude Projects, Claude Code, or similar\n\nNice to have: deeper experience with APIs or light scripting; experience with Gemini or Microsoft Copilot.\nMindset & work style\nYou've built automations that replaced real manual work — not just demos or prototypes\n\nYou think in systems, not tasks — you see the upstream cause, not just the downstream symptom\n\nYou take initiative and act without waiting for instructions\n\nYou can clearly explain what you built, why it works, and what it changed\n\nLow hand-holding required — you work from context, not step-by-step direction\n\nWhat Being an A-Players BA Means\nRemote-first work in a high-performing, globally distributed team\n\nPerformance-based growth with transparent salary and role reviews\n\nStrong ownership culture — initiative, judgment, and impact are what move you forward\n\n20 paid vacation days + unlimited sick leave\n\nContinuous learning through internal workshops, training, and access to our knowledge base\n\nAccess to premium tools\n\nHow We Hire\nInitial interview with the Team Lead\n\nTake-home assignment\n\nAI Operator Training — test cases evaluated by A-Players\n\nClient interview and placement\n\nReference check\n\nCompensation depends on your experience and the results of your trial.\nIf you think in systems, build things that actually work, and want to be the person who makes a startup run faster — we want to talk.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":4716,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T20:32:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":70,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.779,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:10","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/a-players-ai-operator-a-players","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/a-players-ai-operator-a-players.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T19:40:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3129,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3864752},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3864752"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fa-players-ai-operator-a-players"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fa-players-ai-operator-a-players"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fa-players-ai-operator-a-players"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/a-players-ai-operator-a-players\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fa-players-ai-operator-a-players"}]}
