Operations Associate at Pluralis Research

Pluralis Research is pioneering Protocol Learning, a fully decentralized way to train and deploy AI models that democratizes access to AI development, enabling individuals rather than large corporations to contribute and control models collaboratively.

As our Operations Associate, you’ll be the driving force behind the scenes, coordinating meetings, travel, events, and administrative tasks for our CEO and team. This hands-on, execution-focused role is ideal for someone early in their career who is organized, fast-paced, and eager to gain exposure across all aspects of the business. You’ll start with coordination and administrative duties before taking ownership of operational projects.

Responsibilities

• Support the CEO’s external engagements by setting up meetings, calls, dinners, and hosted sessions with investors, partners, researchers, and candidates.

• Manage travel and logistics for the CEO and team, including conferences like NeurIPS and ICLR, as well as team offsites across Australia and the US.

• Assist with events support, collaborating with the Events & Operations Associate and Chief of Staff to organize offsites, conference presence, our Tech Talks series, and hosted dinners. Own logistics and follow-through.

• Handle team administration, including onboarding new hires, managing equipment and tooling requests, processing expenses and invoices, setting up vendors, formatting and polishing documents, and maintaining records in Notion and Google Drive.

• Build systems leveraging AI tools to automate workflows and improve efficiency. This is an agent-first company, and you’ll be expected to integrate AI into your daily tasks.

What You’ll Bring

• 2–5 years of experience in administrative, coordination, executive support, or operations roles.

• Prior experience working in a funded startup (Seed, Series A, or B stages) or within Venture Capital or Private Equity.

• Proven track record of supporting an executive team and managing general operations.

• Experience coordinating events, including logistics and follow-up.

• Strong written communication skills—your work should reflect your own voice, not an AI-generated output.

• Proficiency with Google Workspace and familiarity with Notion, Linear, and Slack or Zulip (or the ability to learn these tools quickly). Daily use of AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT in your workflow.

• Comfort working across multiple timezones, including early or late calls to coordinate with the US team.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to AI, deep tech, research, or crypto communities.

• Direct experience supporting a founder or executive.

• Event coordination experience across multiple countries.

• Examples of how you’ve used AI tools to automate parts of your workload.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary.

• Remote-first culture with regular team offsites and opportunities to travel to the US.

• Direct access to the CEO and Chief of Staff, with exposure to all functions of the business.
