We're currently seeking passionate individuals who are excited about the opportunity to contribute to an industry-shaping company while growing their own skills and careers.

The Role

As a Special Operations Lead, you’ll be at the center of Telnyx’s most critical initiatives—working directly with the COO to take high-stakes projects from idea to launch to scale. This is not a routine role. You’ll be embedded in missions that require fast thinking, operational discipline, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity.

Your first mission: leading an international data acquisition effort that’s essential to Telnyx’s global AI and network expansion. From there, you’ll tackle projects that span new business lines, international market entries, and company-defining initiatives.

At Telnyx, we see Special Operations Leads as future leaders of the business. You’ll gain direct exposure to executive decision-making, build systems that shape global growth, and accelerate your career in a high-growth, high-impact environment.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with the COO/CRO to operationalize international special projects.

  • Build and execute systems, processes, and playbooks to move projects from idea → launch → scale.

  • Lead initial rollouts, align cross-functional teams, and drive measurable results under tight timelines.

  • Serve as the tip of the spear on global expansion—boots on the ground when needed.

  • Identify bottlenecks, solve problems in real time, and hand projects off cleanly to operational teams.

  • Step up to run projects long-term when needed, ensuring they stay on a path to scale.

What We Are Looking For

  • 1–10 years of experience in operations, finance, strategy, or consulting. Exceptional recent graduates with strong leadership or internship experience will also be considered.

  • Relentlessly execution-oriented: you make things happen, fast and without excuses.

  • Comfortable operating in international, high-pressure environments with incomplete information.

  • Analytical and structured thinker: able to model problems, design solutions, and communicate crisply.

  • Hungry to learn at an accelerated pace and grow into leadership.

  • Willingness to travel internationally as needed.

Why This Role Matters

This role is mission-critical to Telnyx’s growth. As Special Operations Lead, you’ll be entrusted with projects that shape the future of the company—from building new business lines to executing international expansions.

You’ll operate alongside executive leadership, gain a front-row seat to strategic decision-making, and have the opportunity to run high-impact initiatives end-to-end. For ambitious operators, this is a career-accelerating role: a chance to build things that matter, at global scale, from the ground up.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
