About the role
ABOUT PROBOOK
Probook is the AI Operating System for the home services industry, transforming how plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses operate.
Our impact is real. Dispatching the right technician to the right job can mean the difference between a $300 "band-aid" fix and a $20,000 system replacement. By automating previously high-touch workflows around-the-clock, Probook ensures a consistent customer experience without the need for 24/7 live staffing. We unify our customers' processes into a single, scalable platform, giving businesses one place to run their entire dispatch operation.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We're hiring a Business Operations Lead to work directly alongside the founders.
This is a broad, hands-on role at the center of a fast-moving company. You'll help keep the business running operationally -- supporting financial models, maintaining reporting, running analyses, tracking cross-functional projects, and making sure things don't fall through the cracks. The scope is wide on purpose. You'll touch finance, operations, GTM, and product, and you'll have real visibility into how decisions get made from day one.
The founders own the strategy. Your job is to make them faster and better informed. If you want a clearly defined lane, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want to learn quickly, do real work early, and build operational instincts that most people spend years trying to develop, it's a genuinely rare opportunity.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
The work varies depending on what the business needs. Some days it's analytical, some days it's operational, some days it's just making sure the right things are happening. Across all of it, you'll be working closely with leadership and using good judgment about what to prioritize.
Day to day, that looks like:
Supporting the founders in building and maintaining financial models, forecasts, and operating plans
Building KPI dashboard and weekly metrics reporting so leadership always has a current, reliable view of the business
Running market, competitive, and customer analyses to support strategic decisions, packaged in a way that's easy to act on
Working across finance, operations, product, and GTM to help keep cross-functional initiatives moving
Helping evaluate new opportunities and partnerships by pulling data, modeling scenarios, and summarizing tradeoffs
Tracking special projects so they make progress without the founders managing the details
Identifying manual or repetitive workflows and building simpler systems to replace them
Using AI tools and automation to eliminate low-value work -- and actually building the solutions, not just spotting the opportunity </aside>
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Background matters less than the fundamentals. We want someone who is analytically strong, reliable, and motivated to do what the business actually needs -- not just the parts that look good on a resume.
3+ years of experience in investment banking, consulting, strategic finance, or a similar high-output role
Prior startup experience is a strong plus, but we care more about how you work than where you've been.
Fluent in Excel and Google Sheets -- comfortable building things from scratch and working with data without a lot of hand-holding
A clear and organized writer whose work doesn't need significant editing before it goes to leadership
Comfortable operating when the direction isn't fully defined -- you make a reasonable call and keep moving
A genuine AI tools user who can show specific examples of how they use them to work faster
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple workstreams without things slipping
Based in NYC and genuinely excited about working in-office five days a week </aside>
