Strategic Implementation Consultant

StartupOS is building toward the vision of the “one-person unicorn” — a future where human and AI employees work seamlessly together to build and scale companies.

We are developing an AI-native operating system that enables companies to deploy and manage networks of intelligent agents operating within a shared context layer, allowing them to coordinate and execute across business functions.

StartupOS is early, ambitious, and fast-moving, with leadership and team members from companies including Airbnb, Adobe, Clari, Box, and Intuit.

We operate using a “pod” model — small, focused teams aligned to specific market opportunities, built to move quickly and deliver meaningful outcomes.

This role reports directly to Ben Sardella.

The Role

StartupOS is hiring a Strategic Implementation Consultant to lead customer engagements within a pod focused on venture capital and investor workflows.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• strategy
• implementation
• customer success
• and operational transformation that leads to massive value for our customers

You will serve as the primary post-sale partner to customers, helping guide onboarding, deployment, workflow design, adoption, and ongoing value realization.

The StartupOS platform is intentionally flexible and adaptable to each customer’s operating model. You will help customers translate business problems into practical AI-native workflows while ensuring implementations deliver measurable positive outcomes.

This is a highly consultative role ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex operational problems, working closely with senior stakeholders, and helping shape how an emerging category scales.

Why This Role Matters

The future of work will be built around coordinated AI workforces embedded across every function of a business.

StartupOS is building the platform and operating model that makes that future possible.

This role is an opportunity to work directly with innovative organizations at the forefront of that shift — helping define how AI is operationalized inside modern companies.
