Head of Operations

Both our open-source community and our premium products are growing fast (x2 YoY). We need talented people to keep that going!

We have found market fit but we increasingly don’t have the tools (in the broad sense) necessary to keep up with the requests from our users. Up to recently, the founders of MUI were the only ones to work on business operations. There is now a tiny team of two people working to support the operations needs. But this isn’t enough, the department is increasingly a bottleneck in growing the company. We are looking for a Head of Operations to take ownership of designing, implementing, and overseeing most of the business operations to support MUI’s growth.

Why this is interesting

Our approach to business operations is centered around operational excellence. It involves relying on automation and writing custom code where necessary. We are even building a product dedicated to improving internal tools for companies: https://mui.com/toolpad/ which we increasingly rely on internally. You will likely use it a lot to improve processes.

Our products empower React developers to build awesome applications faster – we see millions of developers on MUI’s docs every year, one million a month.
