Full Job Description

Job title: Strategy & Operations Location: London; on-site Start date: ASAP Reports to: Chief Revenue Officer / COO Compensation: BASE : £70,000 - £80,000 | EQUITY : £70,000 - £80,000 ___________________________________________________________________________ COSINE AT A GLANCE Cosine is the UK's frontier AI lab for autonomous software engineering. We are not another coding assistant, but build our own models, agent stack, eval harnesses, and product layer. We build our agent tooling entirely in-house and post-train open-source models to deliver reliable, enterprise-grade coding performance in security-critical settings. Our offerings can be used as SaaS, deployed on VPC, on-prem or fully air-gapped. Through this flexibility, we are able to serve large-scale, highly regulated enterprises and industries including defence, financial services, government, and healthcare. We’re backed by YC and were recently selected for the UK’s sovereign AI programme. The company is at a rare stage: deep technical work, real enterprise pull, and a chance to shape how AI is deployed inside defence, banking, government, and other high-trust environments. This role is based in our Hoxton office, five days a week, because close collaboration, fast feedback, and shared context matter for the problems we’re solving. ___________________________________________________________________________ THE ROLE A Strategy & Operations hire at Cosine will work across our commercial, product, finance, and leadership teams to help turn a fast-moving set of enterprise opportunities into repeatable operating systems. This is a deliberately wide-ranging role. You might spend one day helping coordinate Cosine’s sovereign LLM coalition work with major enterprises, the next supporting a regulated customer through procurement and onboarding, and the next building the internal reporting pack that shows leadership where the business is actually moving. The role is not a classic strategy job and it is not a pure op
