Summary

This SkillBridge opportunity is offered through Lux Capital and will be hosted at Valthos, an applied biological intelligence company in Lux Capital's portfolio. The Business Operations Generalist will work directly alongside Valthos's Head of Operations and founders. This is a generalist role by design: on any given day you might troubleshoot an office issue before lunch, build a financial model for the board deck after, and project-manage a vendor onboarding by end of day. You will own projects end-to-end from definition to implementation across finance, recruiting, people, legal, facilities, and IT, while being trusted with some of the company's most sensitive and strategic decisions. The ideal candidate brings strong financial and analytical fluency in Excel, exceptional written and verbal communication skills, high attention to detail, and a bias to action. The position offers direct exposure to company-building, fundraising, and the operational spine of a fast-growing deep tech startup, with the opportunity to seed an entire function over time. This role is based at our New York City office.

What the work involves

Own the company's day-to-day operations end-to-end (facilities, IT, office and vendor management, and travel) to keep the team productive. Build and maintain the company's financial backbone: construct financial models, scenario-plan budget and runway, partner with external accounting on close, and run spend, payroll, and treasury. Stand up core business infrastructure, including equity administration, benefits, payroll, corporate policies, compliance, and vendor systems, choosing tools pragmatically as the company scales. Support recruiting and people operations end-to-end (e.g., candidates, scheduling, and managing offers and onboarding) and help shape company culture and operating cadence. Lead cross-functional special projects (from standing up security and clearance workflows to opening offices and running offsites), provide operational support to commercial and government engagements, and serve as the operational face of the company with investors, vendors, and partners.
