Round Treasury is an AI-powered financial OS platform combining infrastructure with AI to automate finance and operations workflows for SMEs and mid-market companies. The platform handles treasury, payments, AP, FX, and AI agents in one system. The company has grown from a handful to hundreds of customers, is backed by leading early-stage VCs (a16z, Sequoia, Accel, Atomico), and is expanding from the UK into the US.
You will report directly to the CEO and work closely with the CTO, owning how Round scales operationally. This is not a chief of staff role—you own a function, make decisions, and are accountable for outcomes. The role encompasses:
**Operating Cadence & Company Systems**: Goal setting, planning cycles, weekly and monthly cadence, all-hands meetings, offsites, and reporting. Ensure everyone knows what matters and whether the company is winning.
**Hiring & Recruitment**: Own recruitment end-to-end—role scoping, sourcing strategy, interview loops, scorecards, employer brand, offers, and closing. Build a repeatable hiring machine across sales, engineering, and marketing over the next 12 months.
**People Processes**: Onboarding, performance reviews, progression frameworks, compensation, and employment administration for a growing UK team. Build structures that enable great work without bureaucracy.
**Internal Systems & Tooling**: Manage HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and AI workflows. Automate processes where possible; document where you can't.
**Business Operations**: Vendors, procurement, contracts, budgets, insurance, office management, working alongside the finance function.
**Scaling Readiness**: Prepare the company to add 20+ people and establish a US entity without operational breakdown.
The company is FCA-authorised and operates across multiple entities, so operational rigor is essential. However, they value good judgment over heavy process and move fast.
**Requirements**:
- 6–10 years of experience scaling operations at a fast-growing company
- Demonstrated experience scaling from roughly 20 to 100+ people, with direct involvement in making that work
- Real, end-to-end hiring experience: running searches, designing interview processes, closing candidates, having difficult conversations
- Comfort owning people processes (onboarding, performance, progression, difficult conversations, UK employment basics). HR background not required, but you must be willing to engage with this work
- Ability to build systems, not just fixes. Identify patterns behind recurring problems and solve them once
- Very high agency. You determine what matters most, move independently, and communicate decisions
- Fluency with AI tooling. Round is AI-native and expects operations to reflect that
- Excellent written communication. Ability to clarify complex topics
- Willingness to own both strategic and tactical execution (e.g., strategic planning and booking offsites)
- Nice-to-have: fintech or regulated-environment experience, US entity setup, or experience through a fundraise
