What We Are Looking For

Distyl deploys production AI into some of the most complex operating environments in the world — and does it in weeks. That requires people who move without getting stuck, own outcomes without being asked, and treat ambiguity as a problem to solve, not a reason to slow down. At Distyl, AI Operators are chaos wranglers — the force multipliers embedded wherever the work is hardest. This role sits inside Distyl's core business functions: revenue operations, platform delivery, and research programs. You own the operating rhythm, enforce accountability, and close the gap between ambition and execution. The AI Operator thrives here. They are deeply engaged — in the meeting, in the data, in the problem — never hovering above it. They hold themselves and their teams accountable without needing a title to do it. You'll drive the operational rhythm of Distyl's platform and product teams. Ensure that platform capabilities are built and shipped with the same rigor and velocity demanded of client programs — tracking goals, enforcing accountability, and creating the forcing functions that keep engineering teams moving. The AI Operator: Platform Delivery is the operational backbone behind product delivery. If you hold yourself and others to an uncompromising standard, thrive in intensity, and are energized by complexity rather than daunted by it — this role was built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Enforce Operational Rigor: Ensure goals are clear and commitments are kept. A program doesn't ship until success is defined, ownership is clear, and risk is understood.
• Drive Stakeholder Alignment: Navigate executive, technical, and business stakeholders with confidence. Provide clear, honest reporting on program status and surface risks before they become problems.
• Operate at Maximum Velocity: Keep programs moving in fast-changing environments. Adapt quickly when priorities shift without losing momentum or dropping balls.
• Operate as an AI-Native: You don't just champion AI — you use it. You stay on top of the latest models and tools, reinvent your own workflows continuously, and push your teams to do the same.
• Write the Playbook: Author best practices for running high-performance programs at scale. Distyl AI Operators should be the envy of the industry.

Who You Are

• A Chaos Wrangler: You bring order to ambiguity without slowing things down. You identify what's unclear, make it clear, and keep the program moving.
• A Background That Proves It: There is no single path to this role. The strongest candidates have come from places where the job was to own hard outcomes under pressure — Founders, Chiefs of Staff, COOs, Delivery Managers, and operators from high-intensity environments. What matters is the pattern: you have shipped, wrangled, and delivered at scale.
• Accountable: You hold yourself and your teams to a high bar. Missed deadlines have explanations and plans — not excuses.
• A Strong Communicator Across All Levels: You switch seamlessly between technical deep-dives with engineers and high-level strategic conversations with executives.
• A Raiser of the Bar: You have seen what excellence looks like at scale — and you use that benchmark to raise the operating cadence of every team you join. You don't just know what good looks like in theory; you've lived it, and you won't accept less.
• Comfortable in Chaos: You thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and the path forward isn't always clear. You find the path anyway.
• AI-Native, Not Just AI-Curious: You actively use frontier AI tools in your daily work and have a track record of reinventing your own workflows as the technology evolves. You have strong opinions about what's changing fast, and you hold yourself and your teams to the standard of staying ahead of it — not catching up to it.
• Travel: Expect ~20% travel.

What We Offer

• The base salary range for this role is $140K – $200K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package.
• 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents.
• Flexible time off.
• Retirement and financial planning benefits, including access to pre-tax HSA, FSA, and commuter accounts, 401(k), and financial coaching resources.
• Comprehensive wellness benefits, including physical fitness, mental well-being, and fertility and family-building benefits through Carrot.
• Complimentary in-office lunches and snacks provided.
• Access to state-of-the-art AI models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real-world business problems.
• Ownership of high-impact projects across top enterprises.
• A mission-driven, fast-moving culture that values curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence.
