Full Job Description

ABOUT AFTERQUERY AfterQuery https://www.afterquery.com/ is an applied research lab curating data solutions for foundation model development. We serve every frontier AI lab with the mission of delivering the best data to power the best models. In doing so, we can make expertise that once took a lifetime to build available to anyone who needs it. Our customers are the ones building the foundation models themselves and our work sits directly in the loop of how those systems improve. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at a defining moment in AI. Since raising our $30M Series A at a $300M valuation, AfterQuery has grown well over a $100M revenue run rate. We're based in San Francisco and backed by leading investors including Altos Ventures, BoxGroup, and Y Combinator and angels from Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Superintelligence Labs, and Microsoft AI and are based in San Francisco. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AfterQuery is hiring a Business Operations Generalist to work directly with the CEO and the internal Operations team as we scale. You will be a key part of the operational backbone of the company — tackling special projects across the business as they arise and building capabilities that don't yet have a home. You are a utility player: sharp, resourceful, and equally comfortable doing qualitative research, quantitative modeling, and hands-on execution. No task is out of scope. Your job is not to flag problems — it's to diagnose them, build the analysis, and deliver a recommendation that moves the business. Other times, it's to tackle issues before they become problems. You won't inherit a playbook. You will build one from the ground up, then hand it off and move to the next thing. This is an in-person role in San Francisco, moving at the speed of the company. RESPONSIBILITIES - Take ownership of founder- and leadership- assigned special projects from kickoff through delivery, driving decision-making, owning cross-functional initiatives, building opera
