Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless (1km range) and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.\nOur co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for a Business Operations Generalist to join Specter's lean BizOps team. This person will work across deal support, pricing, market strategy, planning, finance, and company systems. Today the work leans more commercial, including working with our GTM teams on sales materials, customer value cases, and proposals. In a given week, it can mean a customer business case one day and a CRM cleanup the next. Some of it is strategic. Some of it is unglamorous. Part of the job is building the templates and systems that make that work repeatable, so the role will likely look different in 6 months, and may be less GTM oriented then. We want someone who enjoys that variety, jumps into new problems as they come up, owns the outcome, and leaves each process better than they found it. The right person is analytical, commercially sharp, highly organized, and comfortable working with leadership, sales, finance, product, and engineering in the same day.\nResponsibilities\nYou will put together pricing, proposals, customer business cases, and value models for complex deals, and support contract review. Over time, you will turn this work into templates and systems the sales team can run on their own.\n\nYou will build business cases for new markets and new products, and keep the team current on what competitors are doing.\n\nYou will help leadership and the sales team see the pipeline clearly through forecasting, CRM hygiene, and dashboards.\n\nYou will support planning, budgeting, and board and investor reporting, and track spend across the business, including production, R&D, SaaS, and vendor spend.\n\nYou will build processes, documentation, and decision frameworks where today there may only be spreadsheets, Slack threads, and ad hoc decisions.\n\nYou will handle the day-to-day work that keeps the business running: cleaning up data, coordinating vendors, chasing down numbers, and taking problems from \"someone should figure this out\" to a clear owner and outcome.\n\nQualifications\n3 to 5 years of experience in consulting, investment banking, or investing, or in business operations, revenue operations, or a similarly analytical role at an early-stage, high-growth startup.\n\nStrong with spreadsheets and financial models, and comfortable in a CRM.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\n\nGood judgment and the ability to prioritize when everything feels urgent.\n\nA low-ego team player who takes on the detailed, behind-the-scenes work without being asked and improves it over time.\n\nA builder mentality: you are excited to create the first version of a system and turn one-off work into something others can reuse.\n\nA generalist who enjoys variety and is excited to take on whatever problem matters most, knowing the role will change as the company grows.\n\nComfortable working without much direction or full context. You find what you need, make a reasonable call, and flag what you assumed.\n\nYou use AI tools to improve systems and get more done, without handing your thinking to them.\n\nInterest in physical AI, hard industries, critical infrastructure, defense, energy, or industrial technology and the ability and desire to get up to speed on technical products.\n\nBased in San Francisco and excited to work in person.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4081,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sensors & Transducers","IoT Platforms & Solutions"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T05:33:29Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":152500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":80,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/specter-business-operations-generalist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/specter-business-operations-generalist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T23:04:30Z","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":34090,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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":63567},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63567"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspecter-business-operations-generalist"},{"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%2Fspecter-business-operations-generalist"},{"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%2Fspecter-business-operations-generalist"},{"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/specter-business-operations-generalist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspecter-business-operations-generalist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3059171}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"specter.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3059171},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
