At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools. We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class Silicon Valley investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.
This role
We're looking for an Operations generalist to own the systems that keep Krea running. This is a broad role - partnerships and vendor relationships, recruiting, people ops, office, compliance and legal. You'll identify gaps, build the right systems, and make them stick. If something operational needs to exist at Krea, you'll own it.
Some stuff you'll do
Partnerships & Vendors:
- Lead negotiations with GPU and cloud providers, managing credits, capacity, pricing, and SLAs.
- Own relationships with key API and third-party providers end-to-end: onboarding, usage monitoring, renewals, and incident response.
- Stay on top of the creative AI landscape — tools, models, platforms, and emerging players — and identify partnership opportunities worth pursuing.
- Drive partnerships from first conversation to integration and launch, working closely with product and engineering to scope and ship.
Recruiting & People:
- Build and own the recruiting pipeline: sourcing, ATS hygiene, interview loops, scorecards, candidate experience, and offers.
- Make Krea a place people want to work — organize recruiting events, team offsites…
- Own onboarding and offboarding, and make sure both are smooth and well-documented.
Process & Operations:
- Set up and maintain the basic company operating rhythm.
- Look for a new office in SF and wherever we expand!
Legal & Compliance:
- Coordinate contracts (NDAs, MSAs, DPAs) with outside counsel and track renewals and obligations.
- Own compliance projects like SOC 2 readiness and security questionnaires.
What We're Looking For
- Background in consulting, investment banking, private equity, or an early-stage startup where you operated with a lot of autonomy.
- You want to build things and have real ownership — this is a great role if you're thinking about starting a company someday and want exposure to how one is built and run from the inside.
- High agency — you spot problems, propose a plan, and close the loop without hand-holding.
- Comfortable building systems from scratch: checklists, lightweight automations, and processes that actually get used.
- Experience with vendor or partnership negotiations — GPU, cloud, APIs, or similar.
- Strong communicator: tight docs, fast async updates, good judgment on when to escalate vs. unblock yourself.
- You care about creativity — you don't need to be an artist, but you're genuinely excited about what's happening in creative AI and the kinds of people we're building for.
What we offer
- Openness to sponsoring international candidates.
- Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling.
- Significant scope and company-wide impact.
- Competitive compensation (75th percentile of market) with meaningful equity.

Which companies sponsor visas for operations roles in California?
Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Tesla are among the most active sponsors for operations roles in California, particularly for supply chain, logistics, and business operations functions. Large healthcare systems like Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health also sponsor for operations positions. Manufacturing and semiconductor firms, including Broadcom and Applied Materials in the Bay Area, regularly file for operations professionals.
Which visa types are most common for operations roles in California?
The H-1B is the most common visa for operations roles that require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, such as industrial engineering, supply chain management, or business analytics. Operations analysts and process engineers tend to qualify most consistently. Some roles also see L-1B transfers for employees moving within multinational companies, particularly in technology and manufacturing firms headquartered in California.
Which cities in California have the most operations sponsorship jobs?
The San Francisco Bay Area leads for operations roles tied to technology companies, with demand concentrated in San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View. Los Angeles is strong for entertainment, logistics, and healthcare operations. The Inland Empire, particularly Ontario and Riverside, is one of the country's largest warehousing and distribution hubs, generating significant demand for operations management and supply chain roles.
How to find operations visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to search for operations roles in California without sifting through postings from employers who don't sponsor. You can narrow results by location and role type to focus on supply chain, logistics, or business operations positions. Employers listed on Migrate Mate have active sponsorship histories, which saves significant time in your search.
Are there any California-specific considerations for operations visa sponsorship?
California's prevailing wage requirements under Department of Labor rules mean employers must pay sponsored workers at or above the prevailing wage for the specific operations role and location, and wages in the Bay Area and Los Angeles tend to be among the highest in the country. California also has strict worker classification laws, so roles must be clearly defined as full-time direct employment to support a standard H-1B petition.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored operations jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
