Who We Are:
Tenex is where builders, operators, and problem-solvers come together to help the world’s most ambitious companies go from AI-absent to AI-native. We work at the intersection of strategy and engineering, embedding elite AI SWAT teams directly into organizations to turn complex, high-stakes problems into real, measurable outcomes. We don’t do slide decks and hand-offs; we sit in the trenches alongside our clients to build & drive real transformation.
We operate with the speed of a startup and the rigor of a storied institution. Our culture is built on intellectual curiosity, radical ownership, and a belief that exceptional work comes from diverse teams who are empowered to challenge assumptions, move fast, and hold each other to a higher standard. If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.
The Role:
As a Developer Experience hire at Tenex, you’ll sit at the rarest intersection in tech today: someone who builds with AI and someone who tells the story of what they’ve built. You’ll ship real software with the frontier coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever lands next — and turn each build into content that educates Tenex’s audience of AI-curious operators, founders, and enterprise leaders racing to become AI-native.
You’ll also lead AI workshops with Tenex’s customers, ranging from team hackathons to leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, to function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that take customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools. The work compounds: every build becomes a piece of content, every piece of content sharpens a workshop, and every workshop surfaces the next build worth doing.
You’ll report directly to Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and partner closely with engineering, GTM, and content. This is a high-ownership seat for a builder-creator who can write code that runs, ship content that pops, and stand in front of a room of customers and leave them more capable than when they walked in.
What You’ll Do:
Build with AI in public. Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever ships next to build real software, internal tools, demos, and prototypes — and document the work as you go.
Create content about what you’ve built. Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks that walk Tenex’s audience through what you built, the tools you used, and the workflows that made it possible.
Educate the AI-interested audience that is Tenex’s ICP. Translate frontier capabilities into language that operators, founders, and enterprise leaders can act on; build the body of work that becomes the canonical reference for “how to build with AI today.”
Lead AI workshops with Tenex customers. Run hackathons, leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that move customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools.
Stay on the frontier. Be the first to test every model, tool, and workflow as it drops; have a sharp point of view on what changes and what doesn’t, and feed that back into builds, content, and customer engagements.
Drive the rhythm of the engine. Establish the cadence of build → content → workshop that compounds Tenex’s voice in the market and turns audience attention into customer conversations.
What We’re Looking For:
3+ years building software, with real shipping experience using AI coding tools. You’re not just curious — you’ve used Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or equivalents to build work that runs in production or in front of real users.
A strong portfolio of teaching content. Videos, posts, playbooks, or threads that explain how something works to a technical or AI-curious audience, where you can articulate both the choices and the audience response.
Deeply AI-pilled. You can name what shipped this week and why it matters; you have opinions on which tools to reach for and when; you’ve built workflows that produce real output, not demos.
Workshop and teaching chops. You’ve taught technical material to non-technical operators, run a hackathon, or led training that left a room of leaders meaningfully more capable than when they walked in.
A creator’s instinct. You know how to find the moment in a build that’s worth a video, the line that’s worth a thread, and the workflow that’s worth a playbook — and you can ship the finished product.
Operational discipline. You can run a calendar of builds, shoots, and workshops in parallel without dropping the bar on any of them, and you can produce and edit your own content end-to-end.
Bonus: experience straddling engineering and content for a creator, founder, or technical brand whose audience is AI-native operators and enterprises.
Exceptional taste and judgment. You know the difference between a build that demos well and one that holds up under scrutiny, and between content that’s polished and content that pops.
High ownership and low ego. You’re happy to ship code on Monday, edit a video on Tuesday, and run a workshop in Boston on Wednesday — and to push back when the idea isn’t there yet.

If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.\n\n\n\nThe Role:\n\nAs an AI Evangelist hire at Tenex, you’ll sit at the rarest intersection in tech today: someone who builds with AI and someone who tells the story of what they’ve built. You’ll ship real software with the frontier coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever lands next — and turn each build into content that educates Tenex’s audience of AI-curious operators, founders, and enterprise leaders racing to become AI-native.\n\nYou’ll also lead AI workshops with Tenex’s customers, ranging from team hackathons to leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, to function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that take customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools. The work compounds: every build becomes a piece of content, every piece of content sharpens a workshop, and every workshop surfaces the next build worth doing.\n\nYou’ll report directly to Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and partner closely with engineering, GTM, and content. This is a high-ownership seat for a builder-creator who can write code that runs, ship content that pops, and stand in front of a room of customers and leave them more capable than when they walked in.\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Do:\n\n - Build with AI in public. Use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever ships next to build real software, internal tools, demos, and prototypes — and document the work as you go.\n\n - Create content about what you’ve built. Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks that walk Tenex’s audience through what you built, the tools you used, and the workflows that made it possible.\n\n - Educate the AI-interested audience that is Tenex’s ICP. Translate frontier capabilities into language that operators, founders, and enterprise leaders can act on; build the body of work that becomes the canonical reference for “how to build with AI today.”\n\n - Lead AI workshops with Tenex customers. Run hackathons, leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that move customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools.\n\n - Stay on the frontier. Be the first to test every model, tool, and workflow as it drops; have a sharp point of view on what changes and what doesn’t, and feed that back into builds, content, and customer engagements.\n\n - Drive the rhythm of the engine. Establish the cadence of build → content → workshop that compounds Tenex’s voice in the market and turns audience attention into customer conversations.\n\n\n\nWhat We’re Looking For:\n\n - 3+ years building software, with real shipping experience using AI coding tools. You’re not just curious — you’ve used Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or equivalents to build work that runs in production or in front of real users.\n\n - A strong portfolio of teaching content. Videos, posts, playbooks, or threads that explain how something works to a technical or AI-curious audience, where you can articulate both the choices and the audience response.\n\n - Deeply AI-pilled. You can name what shipped this week and why it matters; you have opinions on which tools to reach for and when; you’ve built workflows that produce real output, not demos.\n\n - Workshop and teaching chops. You’ve taught technical material to non-technical operators, run a hackathon, or led training that left a room of leaders meaningfully more capable than when they walked in.\n\n - A creator’s instinct. You know how to find the moment in a build that’s worth a video, the line that’s worth a thread, and the workflow that’s worth a playbook — and you can ship the finished product.\n\n - Operational discipline. You can run a calendar of builds, shoots, and workshops in parallel without dropping the bar on any of them, and you can produce and edit your own content end-to-end.\n\n - Bonus: experience straddling engineering and content for a creator, founder, or technical brand whose audience is AI-native operators and enterprises.\n\n - Exceptional taste and judgment. You know the difference between a build that demos well and one that holds up under scrutiny, and between content that’s polished and content that pops.\n\n - High ownership and low ego.

We work with clients to identify where AI can help, build the workflows, and get teams using them.
As an AI Strategist, you’ll combine consulting and product management. You’ll help clients identify the right problems to solve, translate those problems into product requirements, and lead the work through rollout and adoption.
You’ll work directly with executives and the teams doing the work each day. You’ll run discovery, assess business value, set priorities, and define what success looks like. Alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll turn those decisions into working software and workflows.
You’ll own business requirements, product direction, and adoption for your workstream. Your engineering counterpart will own architecture and software delivery. You’ll also build prototypes and automations using AI and low-code tools to test ideas and clarify requirements.
You’ll report to an Engagement Manager. Success means the client uses what your team delivers and can measure how it improves their business.
Understand how the client works. Interview teams, map processes, and identify where work gets delayed or requires unnecessary manual effort.
Decide what’s worth building. Assess opportunities, estimate their business value, and help clients choose where to start.
Define the product. Turn discovery into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria. Keep scope grounded in the client’s needs as you learn more.
Lead the client relationship. Run executive discussions, explain tradeoffs, and raise problems early. Give clients a clear recommendation when their proposed approach needs to change.
Work with engineers to deliver. Resolve product questions, test prototypes with users, and coordinate feedback. Build prototypes and automations with AI, SaaS, and low-code tools where useful.
Own adoption. Plan rollouts, train users, gather feedback, and track usage and business results after launch.
Share what works. Turn lessons from engagements into playbooks other Tenex teams can use.
For a national insurer, you might run a four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations. You’ll identify the ten highest-return AI opportunities, present a roadmap, and help deliver the first two.
For a healthcare system, you might lead a two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements, prototype it with engineering, and manage its rollout across three hospitals.
For a private equity firm, you might build an AI training program across its portfolio. You’ll develop the playbook, lead training, and prepare internal champions to continue the work after the engagement ends.
You have 3–7 years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product management, or workflow design.
You’ve changed how a team works and can explain what you changed, why you made those decisions, and what happened.
You can turn an unclear business problem into requirements, priorities, and a practical delivery plan.
You use AI tools daily to build things and solve problems. Your experience might include Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or Zapier/n8n.
You ask good questions and follow up when an answer is vague. You’re comfortable learning how a business works from both its leaders and its frontline teams.
You can translate client needs into work an engineer can act on, and explain technical decisions to someone without an engineering background.
You take responsibility for outcomes, move work forward without detailed instructions, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
Relevant backgrounds include consulting, startups, and companies building with AI. You may have worked as a Chief of Staff, operations lead, product manager, service designer, or founder. Experience at firms such as McKinsey Digital, BCG X, Bain Vector, IDEO, or Fjord is also relevant.
Writing, talks, or public projects that show how you think about applied AI are a plus.
You’ll work on client engagements with direct access to our partners at Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, and Lovable. That includes working with Anthropic and OpenAI’s Applied AI teams on client problems.
Anthropic named Tenex as a partner in its Claude for Small Business launch. We deliver AI fluency training across US cities, and workflows we built are available inside Claude for Small Business.
The role gives you responsibility across the full engagement: helping a client choose what to build, working with engineers to deliver it, and seeing how it performs in daily use.
Medical insurance with PPO and HSA options, plus dental and vision
HSA, Healthcare FSA, and commuter benefits
100% employer-paid life and AD&D insurance

Tenex is where builders, operators, and problem-solvers come together to help the world’s most ambitious companies go from AI-absent to AI-native. We work at the intersection of strategy and engineering, embedding elite AI SWAT teams directly into organizations to turn complex, high-stakes problems into real, measurable outcomes. We don’t do slide decks and hand-offs; we sit in the trenches alongside our clients to build & drive real transformation.
We operate with the speed of a startup and the rigor of a storied institution. Our culture is built on intellectual curiosity, radical ownership, and a belief that exceptional work comes from diverse teams who are empowered to challenge assumptions, move fast, and hold each other to a higher standard. If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.
The Role:
As Full-stack Creator at Tenex, you’ll sit at the rarest intersection in tech today: someone who builds with AI and someone who tells the story of what they’ve built. You’ll ship real software with the frontier coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and whatever lands next — and turn each build into content that educates Tenex’s audience of AI-curious operators, founders, and enterprise leaders racing to become AI-native.
You’ll also lead AI workshops with Tenex’s customers, ranging from team hackathons to leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, to function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that take customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools. The work compounds: every build becomes a piece of content, every piece of content sharpens a workshop, and every workshop surfaces the next build worth doing.
You’ll report directly to Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and partner closely with engineering, GTM, and content. This is a high-ownership seat for a builder-creator who can write code that runs, ship content that pops, and stand in front of a room of customers and leave them more capable than when they walked in.

Educate the AI-interested audience that is Tenex’s ICP. Translate frontier capabilities into language that operators, founders, and enterprise leaders can act on; build the body of work that becomes the canonical reference for “how to build with AI today.”
Lead AI workshops with Tenex customers. Run hackathons, leadership enablement sessions in Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, and function-specific workshops (legal, finance, marketing, ops) that move customers from spectator to operator inside their own tools.

Exceptional taste and judgment. You know the difference between a build that demos well and one that holds up under scrutiny, and between content that’s polished and content that pops.
High ownership and low ego. You’re happy to ship code on Monday, edit a video on Tuesday, and run a workshop in Boston on Wednesday — and to push back when the idea isn’t there yet.

A new discipline that makes scale, governance, and speed possible without sacrificing craft. As a Content Engineer at Tenex, you’re the operator who runs the pipelines: writing, editing, and shipping the work that the system produces. The Director designs the system. You make it run.
This is the seat for a whipsmart writer who has gone all-in on what AI makes possible. You can produce a 1,500-word piece that holds, you can take someone else’s draft and make it 3x better, and you’ve built workflows that let you ship in a day what used to take a week. You treat AI like a teammate, not a toy. You read the model release notes the day they drop. You’ve already replaced a chunk of your own old workflow with something better.
You’ll execute across our three content pillars: research, applied, and education. You’ll work closely with the Director of Content Engineering, who is building the system end-to-end. You’ll also work directly with Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and the rest of the Tenex team, sourcing the proprietary insights that make our content worth reading. The work compounds. The pieces you ship help define how Tenex sounds, what Tenex stands for, and how the buyer experiences the brand before they ever talk to us.
Write and edit at the bar. Research reports, applied playbooks, education pieces, newsletters, sales enablement, thought leadership bylines. You sit at the keyboard. The system supports you, but the words are yours.
Run the production pipeline. Take briefs through to published pieces using the workflows the Director designs. Identify where the pipeline breaks, fix what you can, flag what you can’t. Treat every piece as a chance to improve the system.
Build and maintain workflows. Prompt libraries, agent stacks, evaluators, repurposing pipelines. The Director sets the architecture. You build, test, and iterate on the parts you operate in day-to-day.
Be customer zero on the AI stack. Test new tools the day they drop. Bring back what works. Kill what doesn’t. Your job description is partly to keep Tenex on the frontier.
Source proprietary insight. Pair with Alex, founders, and operators in the Tenex network. Turn raw conversations and data into pieces nobody else could write. Your edge over a generalist is access.
Hit a ship cadence. You’ll have weekly publishing targets across the pillars. Hitting them is the job. Hitting them at the bar is the bar.
3 to 6 years writing for a B2B SaaS, media company, or premium publisher. You’ve produced long-form content people actually read. Bias to candidates who’ve owned pieces end-to-end, not just contributed paragraphs.
Whipsmart writer. You can write a 1,500-word piece that holds. You can take a rough draft and make it 3x better in an hour. Your prose has a voice. Bonus credit if you can show us a piece you’re proud of and tell us exactly what makes it good.
Deeply AI-pilled. Actively using frontier tools day-to-day. You can name what shipped this month and why it matters. You’ve built workflows that materially changed your own output. Generic answers like \"I use ChatGPT\" do not count.
Technically curious. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you can write a prompt, build an agent, evaluate an output, and pair with engineers without translation overhead. The discipline is called engineering for a reason.
Operator instincts. You ship on time. You hit a quality bar even on a tight deadline. You debug your own workflow. You don’t need someone else to tell you what to do next.
Hungry to learn the function. You’re joining at a level where you’ll be coached by an experienced Director and given real ownership of pieces and pipelines. The right candidate sees this as the seat that puts them on a path to running their own content function in 2 to 3 years.
Soul. The best content has a point of view, a voice, and a reason to exist beyond the funnel. You hold the line on quality even when a tighter deadline or bigger reach would tempt you to ship slop.
The best Content Engineers can do three things at once: write at a high caliber, operate AI workflows the way a software engineer operates a build pipeline, and ship on cadence without dropping the bar. They obsess over the buyer, not vanity metrics. They take pride in the craft of the piece and the craft of the workflow that produced it. And they want to be the person who turns the strategy into the published work, week after week. If that sounds like you, we want to meet.
","descriptionPlain":"THE ROLE\n\nContent Engineering is to modern marketing what DevOps was to software. A new discipline that makes scale, governance, and speed possible without sacrificing craft. As a Content Engineer at Tenex, you’re the operator who runs the pipelines: writing, editing, and shipping the work that the system produces. The Director designs the system. You make it run.\n\nThis is the seat for a whipsmart writer who has gone all-in on what AI makes possible. You can produce a 1,500-word piece that holds, you can take someone else’s draft and make it 3x better, and you’ve built workflows that let you ship in a day what used to take a week. You treat AI like a teammate, not a toy. You read the model release notes the day they drop. You’ve already replaced a chunk of your own old workflow with something better.\n\nYou’ll execute across our three content pillars: research, applied, and education. You’ll work closely with the Director of Content Engineering, who is building the system end-to-end. You’ll also work directly with Alex Lieberman (Cofounder of Tenex & Morning Brew) and the rest of the Tenex team, sourcing the proprietary insights that make our content worth reading. The work compounds. The pieces you ship help define how Tenex sounds, what Tenex stands for, and how the buyer experiences the brand before they ever talk to us.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\n\n - Write and edit at the bar. Research reports, applied playbooks, education pieces, newsletters, sales enablement, thought leadership bylines. You sit at the keyboard. The system supports you, but the words are yours.\n\n - Run the production pipeline. Take briefs through to published pieces using the workflows the Director designs. Identify where the pipeline breaks, fix what you can, flag what you can’t. Treat every piece as a chance to improve the system.\n\n - Build and maintain workflows. Prompt libraries, agent stacks, evaluators, repurposing pipelines. The Director sets the architecture. You build, test, and iterate on the parts you operate in day-to-day.\n\n - Be customer zero on the AI stack. Test new tools the day they drop. Bring back what works. Kill what doesn’t. Your job description is partly to keep Tenex on the frontier.\n\n - Source proprietary insight. Pair with Alex, founders, and operators in the Tenex network. Turn raw conversations and data into pieces nobody else could write. Your edge over a generalist is access.\n\n - Hit a ship cadence. You’ll have weekly publishing targets across the pillars. Hitting them is the job. Hitting them at the bar is the bar.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL BRING\n\n - 3 to 6 years writing for a B2B SaaS, media company, or premium publisher.

Founded in New York City in 2025, we’re roughly 50 people today and plan to grow to 150 by year-end. One in three of our engineers has founded a company.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’re a software engineer who works directly with customers. You’ll design, write, test, and deploy production software while working with client teams to understand their requirements and make technical decisions.
You’ll work alongside AI Strategists, who combine consulting and product management to guide business priorities, define requirements, and lead adoption. You’ll own technical delivery for your workstream, from architecture through production performance.
Work with customers to understand their workflows, existing systems, and technical requirements.
Partner with an AI Strategist to define scope, priorities, and acceptance criteria.
Design system architecture and make build-versus-buy decisions.
Write and review production code, build integrations, and implement AI agents and workflows.
Build evaluations, tests, monitoring, and controls so the system can operate reliably.
Explain technical options and tradeoffs directly to customers.
Deploy, troubleshoot, and improve the software after launch.
You’ll be the main technical contact for your workstream. We expect you to make recommendations, explain your reasoning, and raise issues when requirements or deadlines need to change.
Building useful AI systems means working through fragmented data, existing infrastructure, and model behavior that can be difficult to predict. You’ll test what works, understand failure cases, and build software that people can depend on.
Recent work includes:
An operating system for a private equity firm with $115 billion under management.
AI verification of in-store sampling stations for a national retailer with 70,000 field staff.
Camera systems across thousands of retail stores to detect theft, manage queues, and track inventory.
Our clients span finance, software, media, industrials, energy, logistics, professional sports, healthcare, consumer packaged goods, real estate, and market research. Each engagement brings different technical constraints and business requirements.
You’ll also work on problems in agent orchestration, evaluation, memory, and long-running execution, where established engineering patterns are still developing.
We’re building an internal development system that uses coding agents across planning, architecture, implementation, testing, review, and delivery. It’s early, and every engineer at Tenex uses it.
You’ll help improve how we structure tasks for agents, provide context, evaluate generated code, and decide where conventional software or human review is needed. Tools, evaluations, and agent systems developed on your engagements will also support other teams.
You’ve built and shipped production software that users depended on, and supported it after launch.
You can make sound decisions about architecture, testing, reliability, and maintainability.
You’ve built with LLMs and can explain how you evaluated and improved their performance.
You use coding agents and understand how to review and validate their output.
You’re comfortable working directly with customers, asking questions, and explaining technical decisions.
You can learn an unfamiliar business and turn its requirements into working software.
You take responsibility for delivery and communicate early when something needs to change.
We care about the quality of your work, your judgment, and how quickly you learn. Years of experience are one part of that.
We work together in Manhattan five days a week. The pace is fast, and priorities can change as we learn more about a client’s needs. You’ll spend time both building software and working with the people who use it.
People share discoveries, review each other’s work, and help when a teammate gets stuck. We expect you to ask for help, explain disagreements, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
As we take on new engagements and build products and teams, engineers who deliver can take on broader technical leadership and client responsibilities.
Compensation includes base salary, a quarterly bonus, and equity.
The quarterly bonus rewards delivery, quality, business outcomes, and leadership. Bonuses are not capped at target.
Everyone at Tenex holds equity in the company, including its interests in products and joint ventures developed through client work. We explain the compensation structure and your specific numbers with your offer.

Each engagement brings different technical constraints and business requirements.\n\nYou’ll also work on problems in agent orchestration, evaluation, memory, and long-running execution, where established engineering patterns are still developing.\n\n \n\n\nHELP IMPROVE OUR ENGINEERING TOOLS\n\nWe’re building an internal development system that uses coding agents across planning, architecture, implementation, testing, review, and delivery. It’s early, and every engineer at Tenex uses it.\n\nYou’ll help improve how we structure tasks for agents, provide context, evaluate generated code, and decide where conventional software or human review is needed. Tools, evaluations, and agent systems developed on your engagements will also support other teams.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - You’ve built and shipped production software that users depended on, and supported it after launch.\n\n - You can make sound decisions about architecture, testing, reliability, and maintainability.\n\n - You’ve built with LLMs and can explain how you evaluated and improved their performance.\n\n - You use coding agents and understand how to review and validate their output.\n\n - You’re comfortable working directly with customers, asking questions, and explaining technical decisions.\n\n - You can learn an unfamiliar business and turn its requirements into working software.\n\n - You take responsibility for delivery and communicate early when something needs to change.\n\nWe care about the quality of your work, your judgment, and how quickly you learn. Years of experience are one part of that.\n\n \n\n\nWORKING AT TENEX\n\nWe work together in Manhattan five days a week. The pace is fast, and priorities can change as we learn more about a client’s needs. You’ll spend time both building software and working with the people who use it.\n\nPeople share discoveries, review each other’s work, and help when a teammate gets stuck. We expect you to ask for help, explain disagreements, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.\n\nAs we take on new engagements and build products and teams, engineers who deliver can take on broader technical leadership and client responsibilities.\n\n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION\n\nCompensation includes base salary, a quarterly bonus, and equity.\n\nThe quarterly bonus rewards delivery, quality, business outcomes, and leadership. Bonuses are not capped at target.\n\nEveryone at Tenex holds equity in the company, including its interests in products and joint ventures developed through client work. We explain the compensation structure and your specific numbers with your offer.","compensation":{"compensationTierSummary":null,"scrapeableCompensationSalarySummary":null,"compensationTiers":[],"summaryComponents":[]}},{"id":"24e81c35-d36e-42df-a64b-e8052f701a00","title":"AI Strategist, Product","department":"Strategy","team":"Strategy","employmentType":"FullTime","location":"New York City","shouldDisplayCompensationOnJobPostings":false,"secondaryLocations":[],"publishedAt":"2026-06-25T02:23:08.553+00:00","isListed":true,"isRemote":false,"workplaceType":"OnSite","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"New York","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"New York City"}},"jobUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tenexlabs/24e81c35-d36e-42df-a64b-e8052f701a00","applyUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/tenexlabs/24e81c35-d36e-42df-a64b-e8052f701a00/application","descriptionHtml":"Tenex helps companies put AI to work across their operations. We work with clients to identify where AI can help, build the workflows, and get teams using them.
As an AI Strategist, you’ll combine consulting and product management. You’ll help clients identify the right problems to solve, translate those problems into product requirements, and lead the work through rollout and adoption.
You’ll work directly with executives and the teams doing the work each day. You’ll run discovery, assess business value, set priorities, and define what success looks like. Alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll turn those decisions into working software and workflows.
You’ll own business requirements, product direction, and adoption for your workstream. Your engineering counterpart will own architecture and software delivery. You’ll also build prototypes and automations using AI and low-code tools to test ideas and clarify requirements.
You’ll report to an Engagement Manager. Success means the client uses what your team delivers and can measure how it improves their business.
Understand how the client works. Interview teams, map processes, and identify where work gets delayed or requires unnecessary manual effort.
Decide what’s worth building. Assess opportunities, estimate their business value, and help clients choose where to start.
Define the product. Turn discovery into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria. Keep scope grounded in the client’s needs as you learn more.
Lead the client relationship. Run executive discussions, explain tradeoffs, and raise problems early. Give clients a clear recommendation when their proposed approach needs to change.
Work with engineers to deliver. Resolve product questions, test prototypes with users, and coordinate feedback. Build prototypes and automations with AI, SaaS, and low-code tools where useful.
Own adoption. Plan rollouts, train users, gather feedback, and track usage and business results after launch.
Share what works. Turn lessons from engagements into playbooks other Tenex teams can use.
For a national insurer, you might run a four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations. You’ll identify the ten highest-return AI opportunities, present a roadmap, and help deliver the first two.
For a healthcare system, you might lead a two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements, prototype it with engineering, and manage its rollout across three hospitals.
For a private equity firm, you might build an AI training program across its portfolio. You’ll develop the playbook, lead training, and prepare internal champions to continue the work after the engagement ends.
You have 3–7 years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product management, or workflow design.
You’ve changed how a team works and can explain what you changed, why you made those decisions, and what happened.
You can turn an unclear business problem into requirements, priorities, and a practical delivery plan.
You use AI tools daily to build things and solve problems. Your experience might include Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or Zapier/n8n.
You ask good questions and follow up when an answer is vague. You’re comfortable learning how a business works from both its leaders and its frontline teams.
You can translate client needs into work an engineer can act on, and explain technical decisions to someone without an engineering background.
You take responsibility for outcomes, move work forward without detailed instructions, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
Relevant backgrounds include consulting, startups, and companies building with AI. You may have worked as a Chief of Staff, operations lead, product manager, service designer, or founder. Experience at firms such as McKinsey Digital, BCG X, Bain Vector, IDEO, or Fjord is also relevant.
Writing, talks, or public projects that show how you think about applied AI are a plus.
You’ll work on client engagements with direct access to our partners at Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, and Lovable. That includes working with Anthropic and OpenAI’s Applied AI teams on client problems.
Anthropic named Tenex as a partner in its Claude for Small Business launch. We deliver AI fluency training across US cities, and workflows we built are available inside Claude for Small Business.
The role gives you responsibility across the full engagement: helping a client choose what to build, working with engineers to deliver it, and seeing how it performs in daily use.
Medical insurance with PPO and HSA options, plus dental and vision
HSA, Healthcare FSA, and commuter benefits
100% employer-paid life and AD&D insurance
100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
Responsible PTO: take what you need
We work from our New York City office five days a week. Expect to travel to client sites approximately once a month.

We work with clients to identify where AI can help, build the workflows, and get teams using them.
As an AI Strategist, you’ll combine consulting and product management. You’ll help clients identify the right problems to solve, translate those problems into product requirements, and lead the work through rollout and adoption.
You’ll work directly with executives and the teams doing the work each day. You’ll run discovery, assess business value, set priorities, and define what success looks like. Alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll turn those decisions into working software and workflows.
You’ll own business requirements, product direction, and adoption for your workstream. Your engineering counterpart will own architecture and software delivery. You’ll also build prototypes and automations using AI and low-code tools to test ideas and clarify requirements.
You’ll report to an Engagement Manager. Success means the client uses what your team delivers and can measure how it improves their business.
Understand how the client works. Interview teams, map processes, and identify where work gets delayed or requires unnecessary manual effort.
Decide what’s worth building. Assess opportunities, estimate their business value, and help clients choose where to start.
Define the product. Turn discovery into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria. Keep scope grounded in the client’s needs as you learn more.
Lead the client relationship. Run executive discussions, explain tradeoffs, and raise problems early. Give clients a clear recommendation when their proposed approach needs to change.
Work with engineers to deliver. Resolve product questions, test prototypes with users, and coordinate feedback. Build prototypes and automations with AI, SaaS, and low-code tools where useful.
Own adoption. Plan rollouts, train users, gather feedback, and track usage and business results after launch.
Share what works. Turn lessons from engagements into playbooks other Tenex teams can use.
For a national insurer, you might run a four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations. You’ll identify the ten highest-return AI opportunities, present a roadmap, and help deliver the first two.
For a healthcare system, you might lead a two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements, prototype it with engineering, and manage its rollout across three hospitals.
For a private equity firm, you might build an AI training program across its portfolio. You’ll develop the playbook, lead training, and prepare internal champions to continue the work after the engagement ends.
You have 3–7 years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product management, or workflow design.
You’ve changed how a team works and can explain what you changed, why you made those decisions, and what happened.
You can turn an unclear business problem into requirements, priorities, and a practical delivery plan.
You use AI tools daily to build things and solve problems. Your experience might include Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or Zapier/n8n.
You ask good questions and follow up when an answer is vague. You’re comfortable learning how a business works from both its leaders and its frontline teams.
You can translate client needs into work an engineer can act on, and explain technical decisions to someone without an engineering background.
You take responsibility for outcomes, move work forward without detailed instructions, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
Relevant backgrounds include consulting, startups, and companies building with AI. You may have worked as a Chief of Staff, operations lead, product manager, service designer, or founder. Experience at firms such as McKinsey Digital, BCG X, Bain Vector, IDEO, or Fjord is also relevant.
Writing, talks, or public projects that show how you think about applied AI are a plus.

We work with clients to identify where AI can help, build the workflows, and get teams using them.
As an AI Strategist, you’ll combine consulting and product management. You’ll help clients identify the right problems to solve, translate those problems into product requirements, and lead the work through rollout and adoption.
You’ll work directly with executives and the teams doing the work each day. You’ll run discovery, assess business value, set priorities, and define what success looks like. Alongside Forward Deployed Engineers, you’ll turn those decisions into working software and workflows.
You’ll own business requirements, product direction, and adoption for your workstream. Your engineering counterpart will own architecture and software delivery. You’ll also build prototypes and automations using AI and low-code tools to test ideas and clarify requirements.
You’ll report to an Engagement Manager. Success means the client uses what your team delivers and can measure how it improves their business.
Understand how the client works. Interview teams, map processes, and identify where work gets delayed or requires unnecessary manual effort.
Decide what’s worth building. Assess opportunities, estimate their business value, and help clients choose where to start.
Define the product. Turn discovery into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria. Keep scope grounded in the client’s needs as you learn more.
Lead the client relationship. Run executive discussions, explain tradeoffs, and raise problems early. Give clients a clear recommendation when their proposed approach needs to change.
Work with engineers to deliver. Resolve product questions, test prototypes with users, and coordinate feedback. Build prototypes and automations with AI, SaaS, and low-code tools where useful.
Own adoption. Plan rollouts, train users, gather feedback, and track usage and business results after launch.
Share what works. Turn lessons from engagements into playbooks other Tenex teams can use.
For a national insurer, you might run a four-week diagnostic across claims, underwriting, and customer operations. You’ll identify the ten highest-return AI opportunities, present a roadmap, and help deliver the first two.
For a healthcare system, you might lead a two-week sprint to define an agent’s requirements, prototype it with engineering, and manage its rollout across three hospitals.
For a private equity firm, you might build an AI training program across its portfolio. You’ll develop the playbook, lead training, and prepare internal champions to continue the work after the engagement ends.
You have 3–7 years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product management, or workflow design.
You’ve changed how a team works and can explain what you changed, why you made those decisions, and what happened.
You can turn an unclear business problem into requirements, priorities, and a practical delivery plan.
You use AI tools daily to build things and solve problems. Your experience might include Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or Zapier/n8n.
You ask good questions and follow up when an answer is vague. You’re comfortable learning how a business works from both its leaders and its frontline teams.
You can translate client needs into work an engineer can act on, and explain technical decisions to someone without an engineering background.
You take responsibility for outcomes, move work forward without detailed instructions, and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
Relevant backgrounds include consulting, startups, and companies building with AI. You may have worked as a Chief of Staff, operations lead, product manager, service designer, or founder. Experience at firms such as McKinsey Digital, BCG X, Bain Vector, IDEO, or Fjord is also relevant.
Writing, talks, or public projects that show how you think about applied AI are a plus.
You’ll work on client engagements with direct access to our partners at Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, and Lovable. That includes working with Anthropic and OpenAI’s Applied AI teams on client problems.
Anthropic named Tenex as a partner in its Claude for Small Business launch. We deliver AI fluency training across US cities, and workflows we built are available inside Claude for Small Business.

We embed elite teams directly into their operations, find the bets that actually move the business, and ship the work that makes them AI-native. The clients are sharp. The problems are unforgiving. The work has to land.
We get to do this work alongside the people building the frontier. Anthropic and OpenAI are formal partners, and we sit in the room with their Applied AI teams on real client problems. Vercel, Lovable, and a growing list of the most important companies in AI are partners too. We were the partner Anthropic named on the Claude for Small Business launch, delivering AI fluency training across various US cities, and workflows we built ship inside Claude for Small Business today.
The bar for joining is high. We hire people with high agency and high urgency, who care less about where they trained and more about what they've built. If you want to spend the next chapter of your career building the team that decides where Fortune 500 companies go next, alongside the best operators in the industry and the labs building the technology, this is the place.
Everything we sell is people. The elite teams we embed into client operations are only as good as the talent we put in the room, which means recruiting isn't a support function here. It's how the business is built.
That's what Recruiters at Tenex are hired to own. This is a craft role, and a lean one. We run recruiting with a small team, which means you own your searches full cycle, from the first outbound note to the signed offer, for the AI Strategists, Forward-Deployed Engineers, and operators who go straight into our toughest client work. There's no large team to hand work off to. You're the first person a candidate meets and the one accountable for whether they're sharp enough to clear our bar.
You won't work off a req list. We expect you to take ambiguous, high-level direction from a hiring manager and turn it into a sharp, targeted search, knowing exactly who you want before the role even opens. You'll hold strong opinions on talent, defend them with evidence, and push back when the bar is at risk. Searches are owned, not handed off, so context never gets lost between stages.
Two roles make up most of your pipeline: Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists. Those are the searches you'll run again and again, with the occasional ad hoc role mixed in as the business needs it. Going deep on these two profiles, knowing exactly what great looks like and where to find it, is most of the job.
We don't recruit the way most firms do. We expect you to live in the modern agentic AI stack as a daily practitioner, using it at every stage from sourcing to screening to closing, compressing a search that used to take a month into something faster. You're a sourcer at heart who doesn't wait for inbound.
The goal is simple to state and hard to hit: the people you place should raise the bar of the firm, measured by the quality of who joins and how fast we close the searches that matter. Nothing else really counts.
This role will report to our operations leader and partners closely with hiring managers across Strategy and Engineering. Plan on being in the office five days a week with the rest of the team.
Own full-cycle recruiting for our two core searches, Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists, plus ad hoc roles as they come up, from first touch to signed offer
Partner closely with hiring managers to understand each role deeply, then translate abstract asks into concrete target lists, calibration, and a close plan
Build deeply targeted sourcing strategies. Know the companies, the teams, and the individual people worth pursuing before a search opens
Run candidate process with urgency and care. Same-day follow-up, next steps booked before you hang up, no candidate left chasing us
Use the agentic AI stack hands-on across sourcing, screening, and closing, and push the team on where to automate next
Manage pipeline data with integrity and bring evidence to calibration conversations. Spot funnel problems early instead of relying on gut
Drive offers end to end, including extending, negotiating, and closing
Protect the bar. You're the filter that keeps high-agency, high-urgency people moving forward and everyone else out
Lead the work that raises how recruiting operates here: interview loops, scorecards, interviewer training, and the playbooks the rest of the talent team runs on the next search
5+ years of full-cycle recruiting or sourcing experience at a high-growth technology company or startup
A track record hiring for genuinely hard roles. You can hold a credible conversation with a hiring manager about the work, not just the title, and walk through exactly who you placed and why they cleared the bar
Daily, hands-on use of the modern agentic AI stack across every stage of the funnel (Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, and whatever ships next week). You don't just know these tools, you recruit with them, and you're a sourcer at heart who doesn't wait for inbound
A strong storyteller in writing and conversation who follows up without being chased
Comfortable influencing at every level of an organization, anchored on data rather than gut
Operationally sharp and detail-oriented. You build systems, keep a clean pipeline, and create structure when the path isn't fully drawn yet
Genuine care for the candidate experience. How someone is treated through the process is as much a reflection of Tenex as the offer itself
High ownership, low ego, and a builder's instinct
Background recruiting technical or strategy talent at an AI-forward company, a fast-growth startup, or a top search firm
Experience standing up recruiting process and tooling from scratch as a team scaled
You get to build the team that does the work, not as a back-office function but as the thing the whole business depends on. You'll recruit the people who sit in the room with Anthropic and OpenAI's Applied AI teams, for clients whose AI bets will define the next decade of their industry. The work is real, the consequences are real, and the team you do it with is the kind of group you don't get to assemble twice in a career.
OTE is $105,000 to $160,000, depending on experience. Recruiters will earn a performance-based discretionary bonus tied to hiring outcomes and contributions to the function. Compensation may also include equity and other long-term incentives.
Comprehensive medical (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision
HSA, Healthcare FSA, and Commuter Benefits
100% employer-paid life insurance + AD&D
100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
Responsible PTO. Take what you need.
We work in person from our New York City office five days a week. The best ideas come from being in the same room. Faster collaboration, real-time problem solving, stronger relationships, sharper execution.

We would rather skip that step. If you have already built something hard with a group of people you trust, bring them with you.
The Fortune 500 is rebuilding itself around AI right now, and the companies that cannot afford to get it wrong are the ones that call us. Tenex embeds elite teams directly into a client's operations, finds the bets that actually move the business, and ships the work that makes them AI-native. The clients are sharp, the problems are unforgiving, and the work has to land.
We get to do this alongside the people building the frontier. Anthropic and OpenAI are formal partners, and we sit in the room with their Applied AI teams on real client problems. Vercel, Lovable, and a growing list of the most important companies in AI are partners too. We were the partner Anthropic named on the Claude for Small Business launch, delivering AI fluency training in ten US cities, and workflows we built ship inside Claude for Small Business today.
The bar for joining is high. We hire for high agency and high urgency, and we care less about where you trained than about what you have built.
Tenex works in pods. A small group of strategists and engineers embeds with a client, learns the domain, and owns the problem end to end. That structure is the whole point of the company, so a team that already knows how to build together is not an awkward fit for us. It is a head start.
When a team that has earned each other's trust shows up intact, the part that usually takes months, learning how everyone thinks and where to lean on each other, is already done. You spend that time on the actual work instead.
So if your venture is pivoting, your group got caught in a layoff, or you are simply ready to build the next thing together, we want to talk to all of you at once. We are looking for teams of roughly two to five people.
We are not buying a team to break it apart and slot people into narrow lanes. The way you already work together is part of what we are hiring. We will protect it.
We keep it simple, and we keep your team together through all of it.
You go through together. We run your team through the same process as a cohort, against the same bar we hold every Tenex hire to. We evaluate each of you as an individual and the group as a unit.
One decision. If we move forward, offers go out to the whole team at the same time. Each person accepts or declines on their own, though we are hoping for a clean sweep.
One first engagement. We work to staff you together on your first project so you start on familiar footing.
To be clear about the bar: every person on the team needs to clear the same standard as everyone else at Tenex. We assess the team on top of that, not instead of it.
At Tenex, Strategists scope and prioritize the bets, and Forward Deployed Engineers make them real. Most teams map onto the roles we are already hiring for:
Forward Deployed Engineer
Senior Forward Deployed Engineer
Staff Forward Deployed Engineer
AI Strategist
We take the discipline of real software engineering and point it at frontier AI, which is messy and non-deterministic by nature. We frame work as testable hypotheses, build data sets that hold up over time, and care a lot about whether a system still works months after we have handed it off. We use every agentic coding tool that gives us leverage, and we do it alongside our partner teams at Anthropic and OpenAI. We have shipped enough applied AI to have strong opinions about what makes it to production, and we will happily argue them with you.
The pace is real, and the bar is that the work ships and it lands. Demos do not count. What counts is the workflow running on Monday morning when nobody from Tenex is in the room. You will touch more products in a year here than you would in several years somewhere slower, with a lot of autonomy and your throughput measured directly. The trade is that you do not get a year to perfect any single system. Most people who thrive here describe it as the steepest growth of their career. Some find the pace is not for them, and the interview is a good time to ask our team directly what it feels like day to day.
Your base is guaranteed and your variable pay is uncapped, scaling directly with what you ship. Engineers in good standing make significantly more than base. We will walk your whole team through the details during the process.
We work in person from our New York City office five days a week. The best ideas come from being in the same room. Plan on traveling to client sites about once a month.
Comprehensive medical (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision

Tenex is where builders, operators, and problem-solvers come together to help the world’s most ambitious companies go from AI-absent to AI-native. We work at the intersection of strategy and engineering, embedding elite AI SWAT teams directly into organizations to turn complex, high-stakes problems into real, measurable outcomes. We don’t do slide decks and hand-offs; we sit in the trenches alongside our clients to build & drive real transformation.
We operate with the speed of a startup and the rigor of a storied institution. Our culture is built on intellectual curiosity, radical ownership, and a belief that exceptional work comes from diverse teams who are empowered to challenge assumptions, move fast, and hold each other to a higher standard. If you want to work on projects that actually matter, alongside people who push you to be your best, Tenex is the place to do it.
THE ROLE
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and storytelling. You’ll ship production AI systems — walking into client codebases and delivering working AI workflows that change how organizations operate — while documenting the work publicly. You’ll build with frontier AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor), own features end-to-end from architecture through deployment and client relationships, and turn what you learn into educational content for operators and founders. You’ll lead customer workshops ranging from hackathons to function-specific training, and report directly to co-founder Alex Lieberman.
The emphasis is on production systems that run independently and on content that moves audiences from observers to operators.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
BUILD
• Ship real software and internal tools while documenting the process
• Walk into client codebases and deliver working AI workflows
• Design reliable, auditable agent systems with humans in the loop
• Ramp quickly into unfamiliar technology stacks
• Leverage agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and iterate on systems as they scale in production
CREATE & TEACH
• Produce videos, posts, threads, and playbooks explaining your builds
• Translate AI capabilities into actionable language for non-technical audiences
• Lead workshops and hackathons (minimum 2x/month) that move participants from observers to operators
• Test new models and tools as they release, with informed opinions
• Establish a repeating cycle of building, content creation, and workshops
• Share learnings across engagements to compound team impact
QUALIFICATIONS
• 3+ years shipping production software end-to-end, using AI coding tools in production
• Demonstrated ability to turn complex problems into scalable systems
• Regular use of AI coding tools in your workflow, with deep knowledge of the current AI landscape
• Ability to teach technical concepts, including to non-technical audiences
• Creator’s instinct for identifying shareable moments and producing content end-to-end
• Strong operational discipline managing multiple projects and client workstreams
• Intellectual curiosity about the evolving AI landscape
• High ownership with a collaborative approach to raising team standards
BONUS
• Public work artifacts—open source, side projects, talks or writing on applied AI
• Experience shipping production agentic systems (not POCs)
• Experience creating content online
• A small, but mighty following online
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
• $240,000–$320,000 OTE
• Medical (PPO/HSA), dental, and vision coverage
• 100% employer-paid life insurance and disability coverage
• Commuter benefits
• Flexible PTO
Tenex embeds engineering pods inside Fortune 500 companies to build and ship AI systems. Our AI Strategists and Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with client teams from the first week of an engagement, which means every person we hire has to be capable of representing us in a senior client environment almost immediately.
We are growing from 50 people to 150. That is approximately 100 hires, and the majority of them are Strategist and Engineer roles with a high bar and a competitive market.
Hiring is currently the most important and most difficult constraint on this business. It determines which engagements we can win, how well we deliver them, and how quickly we can grow. Nothing else we do matters if we cannot consistently find and assess the right people.
We will not reach 150 people by repeating the process that got us to 50. This role exists to build a hiring process that is repeatable, measurable, and fast enough to support that growth, and then to run it.
You will own the top of the funnel and candidate screening. That means you will source candidates, run outreach, conduct first round conversations, and determine who moves forward in the process.
This is an entry level role with an unusual amount of responsibility. You will speak with more candidates in your first year than most recruiters do in three, and your assessments will directly influence who we hire.
Sourcing and outreach
You will identify and source candidates from MBB firms, Big 4 consultancies, Palantir, and AI-native companies, and you will develop new sources as the existing ones are exhausted.
You will write and run outbound campaigns over LinkedIn and email, and you will own the quality of that writing rather than sending templates someone else wrote.
You will test messaging variants against one another, measure reply and conversion rates, and discontinue approaches that do not perform.
Screening
You will conduct first round conversations with candidates across both the Strategist and Forward Deployed Engineer tracks, which requires you to understand what strong performance looks like in each.
You will assess candidates against our rubrics for technical depth, client presence, and ownership, and you will help improve those rubrics as you learn where they produce the wrong answer.
You will make screening recommendations and explain your reasoning to hiring managers, including in the cases where they initially disagree with your read.
Hiring data
You will own our hiring metrics, including pass through rates by stage and by source, time to offer, offer acceptance rate, and the points in the process where candidates most often withdraw.
You will present those numbers in weekly hiring reviews and recommend specific changes based on what they show, rather than reporting them and waiting for direction.
Process and documentation
You will maintain our compressed one week interview loop as candidate volume increases, which becomes meaningfully harder as more interviewers and more open roles enter the process.
You will document what works clearly enough that the next person we add to this team can execute it without your involvement.
You will identify the points where the process slows down or produces inconsistent outcomes, and you will propose and implement fixes.
Forward planning
You will build candidate relationships for roles we expect to open in the next two quarters, not only for roles that are open today.
We want to be direct about how this role is intended to develop, because it is a significant part of what makes it worth taking.
This is not a permanent recruiting role. We are hiring you into talent because talent is the largest constraint on the business right now, and we need someone capable to own it.
After approximately twelve to eighteen months, assuming you have built a process that runs reliably and can be handed to someone else, we expect to move you into whatever the largest constraint on the business is at that time.
We cannot tell you today what that will be. Based on where the company is heading, the most likely areas are delivery operations, finance and revenue operations, client operations, or a role directly supporting our commercial function.
What we can commit to is that we will move you toward the hardest available problem rather than leaving you in a role you have already solved. That is the basis on which we expect you to join, and it is how we intend to develop the people in this seat.
You have between zero and two years of full time experience. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply, and we are more interested in how you think and communicate than in where you have previously worked.
You write clearly and persuasively, because the majority of your first interactions with candidates will happen in writing and the quality of that writing determines whether they respond at all.
You are comfortable being given an incomplete brief and working out the rest independently, and you will ask for direction when you need it rather than stalling.
You can build a funnel model in a spreadsheet without needing to be taught how, and you are comfortable defending the assumptions behind it.
You can sustain a high volume of conversations and frequent rejection, both from candidates who decline us and from candidates you have to decline.
You have genuine interest in AI and in what separates a strong engineer or strategist from an average one, because you cannot accurately screen for capabilities you do not understand yourself.
You will hold a defensible position when a more senior person disagrees with your assessment of a candidate, and you will change your position when they give you a better argument.
This is not a coordination role centered on scheduling and interview logistics.
This is not a role with an established process waiting for you to execute. You will be building the process while the company is actively using it, which is more demanding and more interesting than the alternative.
This is not a remote role. Our team works from our New York office, and the screening work benefits substantially from proximity to the hiring managers you support.
Tenex Labs is an applied AI consulting firm that embeds engineering pods inside enterprise clients to build production AI systems, and we are growing quickly enough that the back office supporting that growth (access, vendors, compliance evidence, onboarding, offboarding, and the office itself) is still being assembled, largely by people carrying it alongside their actual jobs.
The Operations Coordinator takes that surface area over and turns it into real infrastructure, owning the systems that determine who has access to what, which vendors we are permitted to use, whether the office functions day to day, and whether we pass our audits, while sitting at the center of hiring, HR, IT, and Finance to connect everything that has to happen when someone joins, changes roles, or leaves.
Most entry-level operations jobs hand you a single piece of a process that somebody else designed, whereas this one hands you the processes themselves, several of which do not exist yet and will be built by whoever takes the role.
The position reports to the Director of Operations and works across nearly every function in the company.
These areas are yours to both decide and execute.
IT access and provisioning
Intake, triage, and fulfillment of all IT access requests through our Notion-based IT Service Center
New hire access provisioning across Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and role-specific tooling, complete before day one
Same-day deprovisioning at departure, triggered by the departure notice, with completion evidence captured for audit
Laptop, monitor, and peripheral procurement, imaging, shipping, and asset tracking
AI usage requests
Review and approval of requests to use AI tools, models, and agents against our internal AI usage policy
Maintenance of the approved-tools list and the enterprise account and SSO posture behind it, since enforced SSO is what makes clean deprovisioning possible
Escalation of high-risk use cases
Vendor review and approval (new)
Collection and evaluation of security documentation, SOC 2 reports, subprocessor lists, and data handling terms from external vendors
Routing of contracts, DPAs, and BAAs to the appropriate approver
Maintenance of the vendor inventory, including periodic re-reviews on schedule
Compliance program administration
End-to-end ownership of our GRC relationship
Management of our ISO 42001, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type II workstreams, covering evidence collection, control monitoring, remediation tracking, and auditor requests
Upkeep of Vanta, ensuring necessary actions are reviewed and acknowledged
Day-to-day point of contact for our external compliance partner and auditors
Office management
The office request queue, covering badges and building access, maintenance issues, desk and equipment setup, furniture and space needs, and AV problems
Stocking of snacks, beverages, water service, coffee, and general supplies, with reordering on a set cadence rather than in reaction to running out
Point of contact for building management and facilities vendors, including maintenance tickets worked through to resolution
Issuance, tracking, and deactivation of building badges, keeping badge access aligned with the same joiner, mover, and leaver events that drive system access
Upkeep of conference rooms and shared spaces, including AV setup and the room booking platform
The work above keeps the current operation running, while the following is the part that compounds, since each of these either does not exist yet or exists only in a form that will not survive the next fifty hires.
A vendor review and approval process from scratch, covering intake, security review, approval routing, and periodic re-review
An asset inventory that tracks every laptop, monitor, and badge from issue through return
An onboarding and offboarding system that works identically for our 70th hire and our 150th
An evidence collection cadence that turns audits into a routine rather than a fire drill
Ownership of the onboarding and offboarding checklist, ensuring new joiners are set up with the proper system access
Coordination of orientation sessions and the logistics behind them for new hires
Collection of I-9 documentation, adherence to compliance deadlines, and accurate entry of new hires into our HRIS
Internal liaison to outside immigration counsel, gathering documentation, tracking filing deadlines, and keeping candidates and employees informed
Initiation, monitoring, and closeout of background checks, with adverse findings escalated rather than adjudicated
Confirmation that departure notices arrive and that the deprovisioning workflow starts the same day
Zero to two years of experience, with recent graduates encouraged to apply
Demonstrated ownership of something from start to finish, whether that was an internship, a job, a student organization, or a project of your own
An instinct for organization, meaning you keep a list, work the list, and do not need reminding
Precision that holds up under volume, since access and compliance work punishes sloppiness in ways most work does not
Comfort learning unfamiliar software quickly, since you will administer tools you have never seen before
Willingness to move between an auditor request and a broken conference room in the same hour, and to treat both as the job
Clear written communication, particularly when chasing people who owe you something
Discretion with employee, candidate, and client information
Exposure to a formal compliance program (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, or similar), whether as an owner or a contributor
Familiarity with identity and access concepts such as SSO, MFA, role-based access, and least privilege
Hands-on experience with Vanta, ADP, Notion, Google Workspace admin, Slack admin, or an ATS
Experience managing an office through a move, an expansion, or a build-out
Experience coordinating with outside immigration counsel
Familiarity with enterprise AI tooling and the governance questions it raises
Tenex is scaling toward roughly 150 people while running client work that carries real security and privacy obligations, which makes access hygiene, vendor diligence, and audit readiness closer to a precondition for selling to enterprise clients than to administrative overhead, and it makes this role the reason those things stay true as we grow and the reason the office keeps working while they do.
The position is also an unusually fast education, because within a year you will have built and run systems that most people do not touch until far later in a career and will have developed a working understanding of how a company actually operates from the inside, which is difficult to come by this early anywhere else.
