Founder Operator | 65k-80k | Generous Equity (Fintech for Good)

Our Mission
Evergive was conceived as the answer to a radical question: What if every donation could be made once, and last forever? What if the same donation could get spent again, and again and again? The world would be a different place. Evergive is on a mission to do just that. By making donations compound and last forever, we are building the financial backbone of humanity; a safety net for all. Donations on Evergive are invested in sound money, with charities benefiting from the upside in perpetuity. This brings sustainability to charities and puts them on a path to financial security forever.

We work with the world's most trusted charities, including Save The Children, Amnesty International, BBC Media Action, The United Nations and others.

Your Mission
To ensure everyone in the business has what they need to operate with clarity, efficiency and speed. You will operate across product delivery, partner onboarding, revenue, compliance, charity governance, regulators, finance, and people. The business runs on execution discipline and clarity and you will own it.

We are looking for a rare operator: someone who brings structural rigour without bureaucracy, who can context-switch across legal, people, product, and finance in a single day, and who treats ambiguity as the default condition. You will own the operating layer of Evergive end-to-end. You will translate founder priorities into structured action, maintain visibility across all active workstreams, eliminate blockers before they surface, and build the operational backbone that lets everything else scale.

You will work directly with the founder and act as the operational nerve centre of the business, the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks and that the right things are happening in the right order.

What the job involves

• Business Operations Ownership
  Own day-to-day operations across the entire Evergive business. Maintain real-time visibility across all active workstreams, ensure priorities are clear, sequenced, and being executed, and keep the business moving despite shifting priorities or ambiguity. Capture decisions and operationalise them quickly.
• People Operations & HR
  Own all people operations and HR matters for Evergive. Handle employment relations, performance management coordination, HR documentation, and policy discipline. Ensure people matters are handled consistently, professionally, and with appropriate escalation, building the infrastructure for a growing team.
• Product & Delivery Operations
  Own the operational layer that makes product and engineering delivery run. Coordinate launches, partnership readiness, and product-related compliance. Maintain execution discipline across all product-adjacent workstreams and ensure nothing ships without operational readiness, including partner SDK integrations and supporting partners as they navigate the compliance terrain of embedding donation and investment mechanics into their own products.
• Sales Ops & Revenue Coordination
  Support the operational side of Evergive's growth engine. Maintain process hygiene across growth and partnerships, improve coordination between growth, product, and execution, and ensure external opportunities are followed through operationally, from first contact to signed agreement.
• Legal & Compliance Implementation
  Own Evergive's compliance posture as an operational risk surface, not a back-office function. Translate legal and regulatory guidance into practical operating requirements and exercise independent judgement when decisions carry compliance exposure. Flag risk before it crystallises, push back when approaches cut corners, and hold the line when the business needs to slow down to stay clean.
• Donor Advised Fund Coordination
  Evergive operates within a structured charitable giving infrastructure with third-party governance and reporting obligations (i.e. Donor Advised Funds). You will own the operational processes that keep our actions aligned with those external requirements, maintaining clean handoffs and ensuring nothing we do creates downstream compliance or reporting issues for our partners.
• Finance & Accounting Coordination
  Own operational inputs to finance. Maintain visibility over budget, spend, invoices, vendor commitments, and operational finance dependencies. Support clean financial processes at entity level and ensure coordination with group finance is smooth and timely.
• AI, Automation & Operational Leverage
  Embed AI and automation into Evergive's day-to-day operations to increase speed, efficiency, and scalability. Identify opportunities to streamline repetitive tasks and build smarter workflows, from automating charity onboarding processes and generating reporting outputs to using tools like Claude and Notion AI to accelerate internal documentation and coordination.

The Ideal Candidate

• You Think Like a Founder
  We're looking for someone who has operated where accountability was personal and not diffused, where dropped balls had real consequences and there was no one else to catch them. A founding background is a strong signal of this, but not the only one. If you've been an early hire at a pre-scale company, a solo operator inside a larger organisation, or someone who has simply always run things as if they owned them, we want to hear from you. What matters is the mindset: full ownership, no hiding, no waiting to be told.
• Proven Operator in High-Growth Environments
  5–8 years in operations, business operations, or similar roles within fast-moving, high-growth companies. You've worked in early-stage or scaling startups, directly with founders or senior leadership, and you've turned unclear priorities into structured execution at pace.
• Cross-Functional by Default
  You've operated across product, growth, legal, finance, and people, not sequentially, but simultaneously. You're comfortable moving between a compliance question in the morning, a hiring decision at lunch, and an engineering delivery review in the afternoon. The breadth doesn't faze you.
• Execution-First Mindset
  You don't wait to be told. You identify what needs doing, build the plan, and drive it through. You track your own outputs, close your own loops, and hold others to account without needing a manager to prompt it. Your default is action, not process theatre.
• Calm Under Pressure
  You maintain clarity in high-intensity situations. You handle sensitive information with discretion and judgement. You don't elevate noise, you resolve it. When things are moving fast and the ground is shifting, you're the stabilising force, not an additional variable.
• Team Leadership
  You have managed both up and down, holding teams to account while earning the trust of senior leadership and founders. You know when to delegate and when to roll up your sleeves, and you can make that call quickly in a fast-moving environment. You've led mid-to-senior level teams, navigated performance conversations, and built the kind of accountability culture where people take ownership because the standard is clear and high.
• AI & Systems Fluent
  You're comfortable using AI tools (Claude, Claude Cowork, or similar) to improve the speed and quality of your work. You naturally identify opportunities to automate, streamline, and leverage systems. You're a strong systems thinker who continuously evaluates and implements smarter ways of working.

What Success Looks Like

• Day 30
  Full operational visibility established. Active workstreams, dependencies, blockers, and key relationships all mapped. Working rhythm with the founder in place. Listening tour complete.
• Day 60
  First independent operational decisions made and implemented. At least one significant blocker resolved without founder involvement. Early process improvements visible. Clear point of view on what is and isn't working.
• Day 90
  Operating as the full operational anchor of the business. Founder bandwidth has visibly increased. Compliance and governance disciplines running cleanly. Team trusts this person as the operational go-to.
• 6 Months
  Business running faster and with less founder dependency. At least two AI-enabled workflows embedded. People ops and finance coordination clean.
• 12 Months
  Operational infrastructure is a competitive asset. The person has the standing and trust to push back on founder direction when the risk justifies it.
