Stellenbeschreibung

**Chief Operating Officer — Confidential | ML Research Lab**

We're working with a Zurich-based ML research lab to find their first COO. A small team of around 10 people, serious research, zero bureaucracy.

This is an execution role — not a ceremonial one. The right person will be embedded in the lab, close to the research, and directly responsible for keeping the organization running as it scales rapidly.

**You'll own:**

- GPU infrastructure procurement and datacenter contract negotiations (100+ GPU node scale)
- Physical office setup in Zurich
- Researcher onboarding and productivity
- Finance coordination, vendors, tooling, and internal processes
- Proactively unblocking issues before they reach leadership

**Technical bar:**
Solid conceptual grasp of ML/deep learning — MoE, inference-time compute, quantization, large-scale training constraints. Comfortable in a terminal, familiar with Python and modern AI tools. You don't need to publish papers. You need to keep up with the people who do.

**The profile:**

- Proven track record running complex projects end-to-end in technical environments
- High ownership, high autonomy — happy to negotiate a datacenter contract one day and assemble office furniture the next
- No requirement on years of experience or prior COO title
- Must be fully on-site in Zurich

**Compensation:**
"CHF 6 figures DOE
