Operations Associate

tl;dr Fresh off a $15M Series A led by Accel (total funding now $20M+), Agave is profitable, growing fast, and scaling the team. We're hiring a sharp, resourceful generalist to help run the operational backbone of the company — the systems and processes that keep money moving and the business running cleanly as we scale.

Learn more about us here link.

We're building the financial ops platform for construction, a $12T global industry run by software built 20-40 years ago, much of it on-prem with no APIs and no documentation.

We spent 3 years building the rails to read and write across those systems, and we use them to deploy AI for invoicing, expenses, compliance, billing, and more.

We have 550+ customers and have been profitable & cashflow positive for over two years. We're backed by Accel and Y Combinator, with investors from Procore, Autodesk, and Plaid. Our three co-founders have worked together for 12+ years, across Graphiq (acquired by Amazon in 2017) and Amazon.

We’ve built something people actually need, in a market most of Silicon Valley ignores — which is exactly why we’re winning. The only thing slowing us down is hiring. Our team is small, scrappy, and high-caliber, and we’re looking for the next wave of builders who will help take Agave from breakout startup to category-defining company.

We're growing fast, and the operational surface area of the business is expanding just as quickly. More customers means more invoices to send, more payments to track, more partners to pay, and more processes that can't stay in someone's head or a one-off spreadsheet.

We need someone to own how the business actually runs behind the scenes: making sure money moves accurately and on time, partners are paid correctly, and our external presence stays sharp.

Own and execute key business operations, including (but not limited to):

• Revenue operations & finance: be the backbone of how money moves through the company, from invoice to cash to reporting.

  • Own end-to-end customer billing and invoicing through Stripe, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and clean handoffs with customers

  • Track customer payments — what's been billed, what's been collected, and what's outstanding — and follow up on anything late

  • Track, reconcile, and report on revenue across all streams (subscriptions, add-ons, partners, and more)

  • Build and maintain lightweight systems so we always have a reliable, up-to-date view of our revenue and cash

  • Managing sales tax compliance through Numeral

  • Own billing email

• Vendor & Partner Management — make sure partner revenue is tracked, paid, and never a black box

  • Track revenue received from vendors and partners

  • Manage rev-share calculations and payouts to VARs

• Marketing Operations

  • Manage logistics for conferences, trade shows, and events

  • Own and publish company social media posts

  • Maintain and refresh product assets across the website, marketplace listings, and sales materials

• Special Projects — take on high-value, loosely scoped projects that need someone who can figure it out without being told how.

  • e.g., we need a new invoicing tool — research the options and propose a solution we can roll out

  • e.g., build a model to evaluate partner API usage across customers

  • e.g., stand up billing and payment reporting that gives leadership a clean weekly view of cash

Who you are:

• Graduate from a top university (e.g. Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, MIT, etc.) with a strong academic record

• 1+ years of experience working in operations at a startup OR proven operational experience at a top-tier consulting firm

• Open to high-slope new grads.

• Hungry to learn, resourceful, and excited to get hands-on experience at a fast-growing startup

• Comfortable wearing many hats and figuring things out quickly with limited direction

Must have:

• Curiosity, hustle, and ability to figure things out quickly

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Detail-orientation and organizational skills

• Comfortable operating independently and efficiently, with little upfront guidance

• Desire to learn, experiment, and use data to iterate to better decisions
