About OH.io
OH.io is transforming Columbus into America’s startup technology capital — the global hub where capital, talent, and opportunity converge. Backed by Ratmir Timashev and powered by an AI-driven Go-To-Market Accelerator, we ignite B2B SaaS founders with GTM acceleration to build global companies from Columbus. With capital ready to deploy, a deep bench of talent, and the gravitational pull of Fortune 500 anchors, OH.io is making Columbus not just competitive—but indispensable. Through our GTM Acceleration Pods, we deliver specialized teams that drive growth and support every portfolio resident. As part of this mission, we are building a local GTM Hub office in Columbus to serve as the center of activity and collaboration.

Role Summary

The Partner Operations Manager is the operational force-multiplier for the CEO
and General Partners (GPs) of OH.io. This is a hybrid executive operations +
strategic administrative partner role designed to anticipate needs, remove
obstacles, and ensure the leadership engine moves at the pace required to build a
generational ecosystem.

You will create lift for the CEO and GPs by managing priorities, enabling fast
decision-making, strengthening communication flow, and helping coordinate
across the GTM Engine, venture fund, The Grid, and the broader civic and
ecosystem work.

Your work increases clarity, amplifies execution, and frees leadership to focus on
the highest-leverage strategic activities … without ever presenting as ego-driven,
but instead as essential to OH.io’s velocity.
