Head of AI Native Operations

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Head of AI Operations to own how Supabase works.

• Own the maturity model end to end: The rubric, the scoring method, the evidence standard, and the appeals path.
• Run assessments and commitments: Conduct assessments with department heads yourself, landing them as commitments with named owners and dates rather than opinions.
• Own the standards layer: Define how work gets tracked, decisions get proposed and resolved, teams migrate onto shared tooling, and stale documentation gets retired.
• Fix the decision process: Ensure written proposals reach resolution instead of accumulating unresolved by defining stages, exit criteria, and closing mechanisms.
• Run the operating cadence: Lead automated weekly reporting, a regular blockers-and-decisions forum, a monthly leadership review, and a quarterly board-level format.

• Scale & Cadence Experience: Have run operating cadence and program discipline at a company crossing ~200 to 800 people while remote and async.
• Agentic AI Expertise: Have personally built agentic AI workflows that others depended on. You can read/review an agent workflow definition, a data model, and a pull request to…
• Standard Adoption Track Record: Have taken a standard from zero to company-wide without direct authority over adopters, with a clear mechanism that made it stick.
• Async Communication Skills: Are an exceptional writer who leverages documents as enforcement mechanisms.
• Accountability: Are comfortable being graded publicly by the system you build alongside every other team.
