About Virio

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack.

Backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google, we help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue.

We are now looking for a Head of Operations to operate as an extension of the CEO and help drive execution across the company.

What you'll do

Build operational systems and processes from zero, then evolve them as we grow

Build with AI. Stand up agents and automations that run the ops work instead of hiring around it

Partner with the founders on strategy, then translate that strategy into execution the team can run against

Own cross-functional operations spanning recruiting, people, finance-adjacent work, legal ops, IT, and compliance

Set up the tooling and infrastructure that scales headcount and revenue without adding chaos

Find the bottlenecks before they become fires, and fix them

Drive decisions with data and first-principles thinking, not process for its own sake

What we're looking for

3 to 7 years in a Head of Operations, Ops Co, or Chief of Staff role

You've done zero-to-one ops at an early-stage startup. Not joined a mature ops team. Built one.

You've scaled with a company from early stage to $50M+ ARR and know what breaks at each stage

You're AI-native. You don't just use the tools, you build with them. You can stand up systems and agents that do the work, not just document how the work gets done.

You're equally strong at strategy and execution, and you actually like both

You're a high-ownership operator who moves fast, learns faster, and defaults to action

You think from first principles and aren't attached to how things were done before

You thrive in ambiguity and turn it into structure

Experience across GTM, recruiting, or people ops
