We’re looking for an Operations Associate to join the founding team at Known and help execute the most exciting consumer launch of 2025.

This is a rare chance to get in early at a well-funded startup ($10M seed from one of the top consumer VCs in SF), build an entirely new category in AI-powered dating, and take on real ownership from day one. You’ll move fast, learn fast, and help shape how Known enters the world.
