About the role

💼 What you will do

• Join the Operations team at the heart of the business, improving the workflows, tools, automations, and processes behind the member experience. • Stay close enough to members to understand what is really happening, while being technical enough in mindset to redesign how the operation works as Nous scales. • Spend some of your time on the frontline supporting members, reading tickets and conversations, and seeing where the systems work brilliantly or fall short. • Help build the next version of operations at Nous, moving work out of inboxes and manual processes into better systems, workflows, tooling, and AI-assisted operations. • Dig into broken processes to find root causes, design better workflows, write clear operating procedures, and automate work that used to be manual. • Work with product, engineering, data, and experienced operators to improve member journeys and the systems supporting them. • Sit at the intersection of operations, product, systems, AI, and customer experience inside a very high-growth company. • Help create the operating model that lets Nous scale from hundreds of thousands of households to millions. • Work hybrid from London.

📋 Job Requirements

• Bring 2 to 5 years of experience in operations, consulting, product operations, customer operations, startups, process improvement, or another fast-moving environment. • Have made extensive use of AI tools in your work, or be clearly on the path to doing so. • Get excited by owning automations and operational workflows end to end. • Learn new tools quickly without being intimidated by technical systems, internal tooling, or messy operational data. • Bring a forensic eye for detail and enjoy tracing problems back to their root cause. • Turn ambiguous, messy work into clear processes, documentation, and repeatable systems. • Stay naturally empathetic and understand why staying close to customers matters. • Communicate crisply, whether writing a process, explaining a problem in Slack, or helping a colleague understand a new workflow. • Work effectively in high-ambiguity, high-growth environments where priorities shift fast. • Take ownership without needing lots of structure, motivated by making the team around you more effective. • Get under the bonnet of how things work, experimenting intelligently and learning fast.

🌟 Nice-to-have

• Bring experience building automations with internal tooling or AI-assisted workflows. • Bring experience writing standard operating procedures that other people actually follow. • Bring experience working with messy real-world data across financial, Open Banking, or operational sources. • Bring startup experience in a role that spanned several functions. • Bring a desire to help build the company you want to work in, rather than just doing the job in front of you.

🎯 Responsibilities

• Identify repeated work, spot failure modes, and turn messy processes into clear procedures. • Own automations end to end. • Move work out of inboxes and manual processes into systems, workflows, tooling, and AI-assisted operations. • Dig into broken processes to understand root causes. • Design better workflows and write clear operating procedures. • Use AI and internal tools to automate work that used to be manual. • Support members on the frontline, understanding tickets and conversations to build context for system design. • Work with product, engineering, data, and experienced operators to improve member journeys.
