Ops-Heavy
Every non-technical business role, covered.
Support, logistics, admin, retail ops — if it's not an engineering or design role, this is where it lives. One team to staff all of it, instead of a separate hire for each function.
What this covers
The non-technical side of the business, staffed
Any role that isn't engineering or design tends to land here. We staff across the functions that come up most.
Coverage that holds under load
Ticket, chat, and email support that keeps response times steady as volume climbs.
Keeping shipments moving
Dispatch and tracking support that catches problems before a customer has to ask.
The work that keeps things running
Scheduling, data entry, and reporting handled reliably, without a dedicated hire for each.
Catalog & content at scale
Order and content management support built for high SKU or content volume.
Levels we place
From an extra pair of hands to someone who owns it
You tell us the seniority the work actually needs — we don't upsell a lead for a task list.
Operations Associate
Handles day-to-day tickets and tasks reliably.
Senior Coordinator
Owns a workflow end to end and improves throughput.
Operations Lead
Runs a pod, sets SLAs, and reports on the metrics that matter to you.
Why Built by Upstart
The difference isn't the rate card
Plenty of vendors can quote you a rate. The difference shows up in how the person actually works once they're on your team.
Full working-day overlap
Reviews, standups, and questions get answered live — not async, across a nine-hour gap, with an answer waiting for you tomorrow.
Trained to get more done with AI
Everyone we place runs an internal AI readiness track before day one, matched to your tools wherever we can.
Top 1% of who we screen
Backed by a 200+ person team and a #64 ranking on Forbes' Best Places to Work in the US — the bar doesn't loosen at scale.
