Our mission
The trucking and logistics industry provides the backbone of the economy. But the payments infrastructure on which it runs is broken. For the hard-working men and women of this sector, the existing suite of payment tools is outdated, difficult to use, prone to fraud, and saddled with shady fee structures. The incumbent players in this space often overlook the economic and practical needs of this user base.
We're changing that. AtoB is building Stripe for Transportation — modernizing the payments infrastructure for trucking and logistics. Supply chains rely on the timely movement of capital to function efficiently. Our end game is a world in which that capital movement occurs fairly, smoothly, and without delay. As we pursue that end game, we aim to center our customers in every way — offering them world-class customer experience and building products that work with and around the unique constraints of their daily lives. We build for fleet managers in the office and drivers on the road. We strive for products that are efficient, satisfying, and useful. Our customers enable our modern economy — they deserve it.
Our history and background
Our founding team has backgrounds in payments, working on autonomous vehicles at Cruise Automation, leading ops and growth for Uber, and building apps that were featured on the Apple app store. We have staff and senior engineers from Google, Uber, Meta, Shopify, Stripe, Chime, and other leading technology companies.
We have raised $125 million+ from investors such as General Catalyst, Elad Gil, Bloomberg Beta, Y Combinator, XYZ; founders and CEOs of companies such as Google (Eric Schmidt), Salesforce (Marc Benioff), Coinbase (Brian Armstrong), DoorDash (Tony Xu), Instacart, Gusto; strategic investors like Mastercard, Flexport and Samsara.
We were named to Forbes annual Next Billion-Dollar Startup List, and have just recently been selected to join the World Economic Forum as a Global Innovator.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Our BizOps team handles a variety of problem-solving challenges. Expect to own a particular area of our business, collaborate with teammates across Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success, and leverage your analytical toolkit on a daily basis. The particular problem you'll work on when you join depends on both business needs + your particular strengths and interests. This is a great generalist role to get exposure to all elements of building a high-growth company - from on-the-ground operations to big-picture strategy.
In this role you might work on:
- Determining vertical-specific KPIs
- Optimizing our growth funnel, pre-and post-sales
- Building a process playbook for our sales, underwriting, or support teams
- Running experiments to increase our growth or revenue
- Analyzing purchase or payments data and using the results to make business decisions
- Conducting interviews with customers to inform product decisions (and then working with the engineering team to implement)
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What we're looking for:
- 1-3 years of experience in management consulting, strategy, at a high-growth startup, or in a heavily analytical role is a plus
- We are open to different experience levels for this role; your exact responsibilities and scope will match the experience you bring to the table
- Proficiency in data analysis (SQL, Python, or R); you don't need to know SQL when you join, but expect to learn quickly!
OFFER DETAILS
- Hybrid role in either New York or San Francisco
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
- Great benefits and 401(k) match
- Competitive equity

How to Get Visa Sponsorship as a Business Operations Associate
Lead with your OPT timeline upfront
State your OPT start date and expiration clearly in applications. For Business Operations roles, employers plan around project cycles, so showing you have 12-plus months remaining signals you can contribute through a full planning period.
Target employers already familiar with OPT
Mid-size to large companies with dedicated HR teams are far more likely to have processed OPT students before. Smaller startups may not know what an EAD card is, which creates unnecessary friction during the offer stage.
Quantify operational impact in your resume
Business Operations hiring managers prioritize efficiency gains, process improvements, and measurable outcomes. Replace vague descriptions with numbers: reduced processing time by 20%, streamlined vendor onboarding across three departments, or cut reporting cycle from weekly to daily.
Frame your STEM extension eligibility clearly
If your degree is in a STEM-designated field and the role involves data analysis, systems management, or process optimization, you likely qualify for a 24-month extension. Mention this in cover letters so employers understand your full authorization window.
Prepare a one-page OPT explainer for interviews
Many hiring managers in operations have never sponsored a visa. A simple document explaining OPT authorization, what the employer is not required to do, and your timeline removes confusion and builds confidence before offer negotiations begin.
Apply early relative to your OPT end date
Business Operations roles often have multi-round interview processes spanning four to six weeks. Starting your search at least three months before your OPT expires ensures employers have enough runway to make an offer without feeling rushed by your authorization deadline.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Do Business Operations Associate jobs typically qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on how the role is structured and what degree you hold. If your degree is in a STEM-designated field and the position involves quantitative analysis, systems optimization, or technology-driven process work, it can qualify for the 24-month STEM extension. Roles that are primarily administrative without an analytical component are less likely to qualify. Review your job offer letter against USCIS STEM OPT criteria before applying for the extension.
What do employers mean when they say they can't sponsor visas for this role?
For OPT students, no employer sponsorship is required during your authorized OPT period. Your EAD card is your work authorization, and employers simply verify it through Form I-9. When a job posting says 'no sponsorship,' it typically means they won't file an H-1B petition later. That's a separate concern from OPT eligibility, so you can still apply and work legally during your OPT window.
Where can I find Business Operations Associate jobs that are open to OPT students?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for F-1 OPT and visa-sponsored job seekers. You can browse Business Operations Associate listings filtered by OPT eligibility, which saves time compared to filtering out roles that require permanent work authorization. Employers listed on Migrate Mate are familiar with or open to OPT candidates, so you're not starting every conversation by explaining your status from scratch.
Can I start a Business Operations Associate job before my OPT EAD card arrives?
No. You cannot begin working until your EAD card is physically in hand, regardless of the approved start date on your I-20 or OPT approval notice. Apply for OPT at least 90 days before your intended start date since USCIS processing typically takes 3 to 5 months. If your start date shifts due to EAD delays, notify your employer immediately, as most operations teams can adjust onboarding timelines with advance notice.
What happens to my OPT if I'm laid off from a Business Operations Associate role?
F-1 OPT students have a cumulative unemployment limit of 90 days during standard OPT, or 150 days during a STEM extension. If you're laid off, that clock starts counting from your last day of employment. You're allowed to job search during this period, but you must secure a new position before hitting the limit. Report any employer changes to your DSO promptly so your SEVIS record stays current and accurate.
