About Us

AI is transforming how service-based businesses operate, and Idyllo is at the forefront of this shift. We’re building the first AI-first estimation and sales platform for small and mid-sized service businesses—starting with painting contractors. Our launch product will turn unstructured data—notes, voice memos, and images—into structured, actionable estimates and automation that drive real business impact.

This is an early-stage, execution-first team. If successful, you will have the opportunity to shape a team around you and scale rapidly with the business as we hit milestones. If you want to work with cutting-edge AI, ship fast, build from the ground up and take ownership, this is where you belong.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly entrepreneurial, ambitious, and adaptable person to help drive business development and operations. This includes building and scaling our core software business, as well as our strategy and facilitation consulting line of business working with Fortune 500 tech leaders, helping them and their teams accelerate through transitions brought on by AI. While the consulting business started to support our software business through its early stages, we increasingly see an opportunity to spin it off as its own enterprise.

This is a unique, hybrid, high-impact role where you’ll work directly with the founder/CEO, with a clear path to take on an expanding, career transforming leadership role quickly. You’ll support customer engagements, help generate new business opportunities, and shape and streamline operations. The role is a mix of strategy, execution, and problem-solving—perfect for someone who thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments.

You’ll wear multiple hats, but core responsibilities will include:
