From Salient's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Salient builds AI agents for regulated financial services. Our agents automate loan servicing, compliance, collections, recovery, insurance claims, and disputes for banks, captives, and specialty lenders.
We are deeply integrated with our customers, own the full technology stack, and move quickly to bring modern AI into regulated industries where precision, reliability, and performance matter.
You'll sit in the Founder's Office and act as force-multiplier to the CEO and leadership team. This is not a "coordination" role—this is an execution role. You'll take ambiguous, cross-functional problems (GTM, product ops, compliance ops, customer delivery, internal cadence) and drive them to crisp plans, clear owners, and shipped outcomes.
If you're the kind of person who can go from "figure out what's broken" → "write the plan" → "align stakeholders" → "project-manage to completion" without needing permission every step, you'll thrive here.
You've built a reliable founder/leadership operating cadence (priorities, KPIs, decision logs, follow-up system).
2–4 cross-functional projects are moving faster because you're driving alignment and execution.
Leadership is spending less time on coordination and more time on decisions.
Customer launches and deliverables are cleaner: clearer owners, fewer surprises, tighter comms.
Who You Are
High-agency operator: you proactively diagnose problems and drive solutions end-to-end.
Structured thinker: you write clearly, make crisp plans, and turn ambiguity into concrete next steps.
Low ego, high standards: you do what it takes, and you care about quality.
Fast learner: you can ramp quickly in complex, regulated domains.
Trustworthy: you handle sensitive information with discretion.
Comfortable with intensity: early-stage pace, shifting priorities, and high expectations.
Preferred Background (not required)
2–6 years experience in a demanding environment: startup ops, consulting, banking/fintech ops, product ops, investment/strategy, or founder-led roles.
Prior work with enterprise customers and/or regulated workflows (finance, insurance, healthcare).
Strong writing: memos, project plans, customer updates, specs.
At Salient, we’re building at the edge of AI - fast, focused, and with real ownership. Sprints and major launches move quickly, and we look for people who are energized by that pace. Our team typically works around 60 hours per week, beginning at 8:00 AM
, with four days spent collaborating in person at our San Francisco office.
We also offer a benefits package designed to support our full-time employees:
medical, dental, and vision coverage
, a generous 401(k), and catered lunches.
By applying, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
