Safety and Operations Associate

Strategy & Operations at Giga is not a support function — it's the connective tissue that makes everything run faster and smarter. As a Strategy & Operations Associate, you'll work directly alongside senior leadership to identify where the business is moving, where it's breaking, and what to do about it. One week you might be building the operating model for a new energy market; the next, you're in the field stress-testing how we're executing against a major deployment timeline.

This role is for someone who gets things done. Not someone who creates decks about getting things done — someone who closes the loop, tracks the details, and drives initiatives from whiteboard to reality. If you thrive at the intersection of analytical rigor and operational execution, and want to build something that physically powers the AI revolution, this is the role.

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
