Role Description
We are looking for a world-class, execution-obsessed operator to join Allen AI as our Founding COO / Operator. This is not a cushy exec job. This is a boots-on-the-ground role for someone who loves building from $1M to $50M ARR.
You will work directly with Richard to own the day-to-day execution, so he can go all-in on content, traffic generation, and brand building. You will be the engine behind the machine. If you’ve ever wanted to build a category-defining SaaS company from the inside, this is your shot.
What You'll Own
• Daily Operations:
Run the business day-to-day. Manage team, meetings, KPIs, and execution across departments.
• Product Execution:
Be the product owner working closely with our lead dev (Ivan). Prioritize features, gather user feedback, and ship updates.
• Team Leadership:
Hold people accountable. Build hiring systems. Fire fast, promote fast. Build a world-class team under you.
• Process Creation:
SOPs, checklists, reporting dashboards, automations - you’ll build the machine that scales.
• Customer Feedback Loops:
Extract feedback from users (many of whom come from our coaching company) and turn it into roadmap actions.
• Sales & Growth Systems:
Coordinate initiatives for user onboarding, user retention, and revenue expansion.
• Affiliate Partnerships Division:
Build and lead the affiliate marketing engine for Allen AI. This includes designing and executing the entire system for finding, recruiting, and onboarding new affiliates; creating affiliate sales and success teams; managing relationships; running launches; and driving high-volume traffic and new user acquisition through affiliates on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, X, and Skool.
Qualifications
• You’ve helped scale a start-up from <$1M ARR to $10M+, or dream of doing it and have the scars to prove you’re ready.
• You have zero ego. You're not trying to be a public-facing “CEO.” You want to build, execute, and win.
• You love building systems, hiring teams, fixing ops, and holding people accountable.
• You think in metrics, dashboards, and deliverables.
• You get joy from executing at speed and cleaning up chaos.
• You’ve either worked inside a SaaS company before, or you’re a brilliant generalist who knows how to run a lean team across product, ops, support, and GTM.
• You move fast. You’re comfortable working with high performers who demand a lot and operate at a pace that would burn out most.
Requirements
• Bonus Points If You…
• Come from the creator economy, especially if you’ve worked in B2C, DTC SaaS, or social-media-focused tech.
• Have built or scaled tools for Instagram/TikTok creators, course sellers, influencers, or coaches.
• Understand how things go viral, how affiliate ecosystems work, and how creator-led growth loops drive explosive awareness.
• Genuinely care about helping everyday 9–5ers, beginner entrepreneurs, and online creator-led businesses succeed in the online space.
• Have product owner / product manager experience.
• Have built customer support, onboarding, and/or affiliate systems from scratch.
Benefits
• This isn’t a normal job. You’re not joining a start-up just to “support.” You will be the co-builder of a $50M+ ARR software company.
• You will get full behind-the-scenes access to one of the most connected entrepreneurs in digital business.
• The playbook for using media + content to scale SaaS.
• Ownership of the internal engine that makes the business run.
• A front-row seat to the fastest-growing SaaS opportunity in the “link-in-bio / digital product” space.
• A chance to join pre-escape velocity and shape the company DNA before it hits $1M/month.
