About Topsort

At Topsort, we believe in the mission of democratizing the secret technologies of the walled gardens and creating a privacy-first cookie-free world of clean advertising with modern tech, friendly products, and AI. We believe in making advertising intuitive, intelligent, and genuinely cool, without any of the creepy ads or cookie-obsession (well, maybe just the chocolate ones). In a rapidly changing industry, we're on a mission to democratize monetization access for all and ensure that advertising doesn't leave any brand or seller feeling confused or overwhelmed

Today, Topsort has 5 major hubs worldwide, and employees in 13+ countries, including Menlo Park, Boston, Santiago Chile, Sao Paulo Brazil, Barcelona Spain, and Sydney Australia. We are a truly global company that was born in the pandemic that's had rapid growth since out of a genius product, a customer-first mentality, and a hardworking team of talented individuals. Since our founding in 2021, we've gained customers in retail, marketplaces, and delivery apps in 40+ countries and quickly approaching the #1 position in the industry.

Do you enjoy a fast-paced environment? Do you like seeing your work create real-time impact, being part of a rocket ship from the very beginning? Let's do the unimaginable - let's make ads clean and cool again, with AI and modern technology.

What it's like to work at Topsort

Our team is all about straightforward communication, embracing feedback without taking it personally, and fostering a super collaborative environment. It's a sports team that's hyper focused on winning, collaborative internally, and competitive externally - never the other way around.

We thrive on working in the open, lifting each other up, and getting things done with a sense of urgency. We're the kind of team that loves making bold choices, sharing extraordinary opinions, and maintaining a 100 mph pace. No endless meetings here – if it can be done today, we're all about getting it done today.

What is this role like?

We're looking for a highly experienced Operations Lead to design, own, and scale Topsort's company-wide operating system. This is a senior, deeply cross-functional role that partners with Finance, HR, GTM, Engineering, Customer Success, Product, and Leadership. You will build the infrastructure—processes, systems, data, governance, and execution rhythms—that enable Topsort to scale smoothly from a fast-moving startup into a mature, predictable, and operationally excellent organization.

You will define how the company runs : the cadence, the workflows, the structure, and the connective tissue between teams. We are looking for someone who has operated at scale before, and who understands the complexities that come with growth.

You will :

  • Build Topsort's operating cadence : weekly leadership syncs, quarterly GTM / business reviews, annual planning, all-hands, and internal communication processes.
  • Design and scale cross-functional systems across Finance, HR, GTM, CS, Product, Legal, and Engineering.
  • Operationalize and mature existing processes—turning strong early foundations into predictable, repeatable, scalable systems.
  • Own data hygiene and internal information management, ensuring alignment across tools, teams, and functions.
  • Define, track, and maintain company-wide KPIs, building visibility into business performance.
  • Lead high-impact strategic projects, including security audits, financial audits, new market expansion, new entity setup, product launch operations, and company-wide initiatives.
  • Architect internal infrastructure, including dashboards, documentation, SOPs, governance models, escalation paths, and workflow automation.
  • Drive cross-functional execution, ensuring smooth handoffs (e.g., Sales → CS, Marketing → SDR), consistent processes, and operational clarity.
  • Support executive leadership in forecasting, planning, and decision-making with structured analysis and insights.
  • Manage general business administration, including compliance coordination, vendor / legal interactions, and foundational corporate operations.

What (we think) you need to be successful — but we're open to outliers too :

  • Bachelor's / Master's Degree from Top Universities (Ivy League, etc), with technical / STEM study background preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Revenue Operations, Management Consulting, or similar roles.
  • Experience operating in organizations of 100–1,000+ employees; you understand the operational complexity that comes with scale.
  • Experience in B2B or SaaS strongly preferred.
  • Strong analytical mindset; comfortable working with data, metrics, dashboards, and systems / tools.
  • Ability to structure ambiguity, design systems, and build clarity from zero.
  • Exceptionally structured, organized, and detail-oriented.
  • Thrives in roles where impact is high but visibility is not the goal.
  • A systems thinker who can architect processes end-to-end.
  • Excellent communicator across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Comfortable leading projects independently and driving alignment across many stakeholders.
  • Thrives in fast-paced environments with no playbooks.
  • Prior exposure to high-growth, global, or multi-market companies is a major plus.
  • Experience in major scale-up environments is highly valued.
  • What We Value

  • Deep dive into details : You're not satisfied with surface answers — you find root causes and durable solutions.
  • Team first : You prioritize collective results over individual recognition.
  • You thrive with ambiguity : You turn open-ended problems into structured plans and measurable outcomes.
  • Adaptability : You can learn, teach, lead, and follow as needed.
  • Urgency : You move quickly with an eye for scalability and replicable processes.
  • Curiosity : You learn fast, ask the right questions, and apply insights effectively.
  • Why Join Topsort

  • Build an operations function from scratch — your work will directly shape how the company scales.
  • High-impact role with broad cross-functional exposure and close partnership with leadership.
  • Fast-growing, mission-driven startup culture with high ownership and rapid career upside.
  • Work with a diverse global team and influence product, GTM, and operational strategy.
  • Do you sound like the right fit? Let's dive right in!
