About us

Global trade still runs on outdated, time-consuming manual workflows. We’re fixing that! Anchor AI is building AI agents for customs brokers. Our AI works alongside humans to help brokers process more shipments- faster, with fewer errors.

We’re growing fast, backed by First Round Capital (early investors in Flexport), Pear VC, and other top investors. The timing is perfect: with the changes from the current administration, the market is waking up to the potential of AI. We’re racing to be the default AI platform for them.

About the role

We're hiring an Operations Lead to serve as the operational backbone of the company. Your job is to keep the business running smoothly while freeing up the founder (Sam) to focus 90–95% of his time on selling to enterprise customers. This is a high-trust, high-impact role—perfect for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves getting things done, and knows how to scale operations without adding bureaucracy.

You’ll own all the “glue work” that keeps our team fast, focused, and frictionless: events, HR/admin, tooling, vendors, and special projects.

What You’ll Do:

  • Events & Marketing Ops: Manage sponsorships, prepare speaker decks, coordinate booth logistics, and support lead gen at conferences.

  • People & Admin: Run the new hire checklist, route AP/AR, coordinate IT setup, and keep HR basics humming.

  • Tooling & Data Ops: Maintain our internal Notion, Google Drive structure, and HubSpot setup.

  • Special Projects: Jump into ad hoc needs—whether that’s building an internal dashboard or generating AI-powered sales collateral.

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

  • Has 1–3 years in a generalist operations role at an early-stage B2B SaaS or marketplace startup.

  • Has personally run a national conference booth or a multi-city roadshow.

  • Is fluent in tools like Google Workspace, Notion/Airtable, Zapier, and HubSpot (or similar CRM).

  • Is scrappy, resourceful, and fast-moving—you build the table, not a meeting about the table.

  • Is low ego and high ownership—you’re happy booking flights, prepping demo decks, and drafting dashboards.

  • Writes clearly and professionally—you can send investor-ready updates.

  • Bonus: has experience in logistics or supply chain, but not required.

Why This Role?

This is a rare chance to step into a high-leverage role early in the company’s lifecycle. You’ll have full ownership of operations while working directly with the founder and product team—and your work will directly impact revenue, customer satisfaction, and scale.

About Pear VC

Learn more about Pear VC and their company culture.

View company profile

At the heart of Pear VC is a culture deeply rooted in the founder's journey. We began as Pejman Mar Ventures in 2013, founded by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson, with a singular mission: to build a venture capital firm that genuinely and actively supports founders. Pejman, an angel investor, saw the immense potential in creating a firm where founder support was paramount. He partnered with Mar, and together they laid the foundation for what would become Pear VC three years later. The name 'Pear' itself is symbolic of our philosophy – pear trees are known for their longevity and strength, yet they require nurturing and the right conditions to flourish, much like startups. Our founders themselves embody resilience and diverse experiences. Pejman immigrated to the U.S. from Iran with very little and carved a unique path into venture capital, initially investing while working as a rug dealer. Mar, originally from Barcelona, brings a wealth of technical and operational expertise, holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and having founded three companies herself.

Our core values emphasize a hands-on, empathetic approach. We understand that building something from nothing is an arduous journey, often marked by setbacks. Having navigated these challenges ourselves through founding over ten companies, our team is uniquely positioned to empathize with and guide entrepreneurs. We are not just investors; we are company builders. Our commitment extends beyond capital; we roll up our sleeves to help founders find product-market fit, craft go-to-market strategies, recruit crucial early hires, and navigate the complexities of fundraising. We pride ourselves on being there for our founders through thick and thin, offering support when challenges arise, be it an elusive product-market fit, a missed target, or team changes. We believe in 'active patience,' fostering an environment where learning and long-term vision take precedence over short-term pressures. This philosophy has enabled us to partner with exceptional founders from the earliest stages, often pre-seed and seed, to build category-defining companies. Our community is a cornerstone of our approach, exemplified by Pear Studio, a collaborative workspace designed to foster innovation and connection among entrepreneurs. We are dedicated to identifying and nurturing exceptional talent, helping them transform great ideas into iconic, long-lasting companies.
