The Role

This role exists to directly increase the output and effectiveness of the Operations function. You will work closely with the Operations Manager to take ownership of execution-heavy, time-consuming work, allowing them to focus on high-leverage priorities.

This is not a passive support role, you will be expected to hands-on, and take ownership of tasks end-to-end and proactively identify ways to remove bottlenecks across the business.

Responsibilities

Office Management & Operations

• Own the day-to-day running of the office (supplies, vendors, maintenance, layout, general upkeep)

• Coordinate with landlords, building management, and service providers

• Ensure the office is consistently organized, functional, and client-ready

Administrative & Execution Support

• Own and execute administrative and operational tasks end-to-end, ensuring nothing is dropped or delayed

• Manage expenses, invoices, and operational tracking with high accuracy

• Take ownership of recurring workflows and improve them over time

Internal Coordination

• Ensure internal coordination runs smoothly by tracking actions, following up proactively, and closing loops across teams

• Support onboarding logistics for new hires (equipment, access, setup)

• Ensure follow-ups and actions from key meetings are tracked and completed

Event & Client Support

• Assist with planning and execution of events and client meetings

• Manage logistics, run-of-show, and on-the-day coordination

Ad Hoc Operations Support

• Step into high-priority tasks as needed across operations, hiring, and general business support

• Act as a reliable “catch-all” for work that needs to get done quickly and well

What Success Looks Like

• The Operations Manager has materially more time for strategic work

• Tasks and follow-ups are consistently completed without prompting

• Internal coordination becomes faster and more reliable

• Operational “loose ends” are proactively identified and closed

You May Be a Good Fit If…

• You are comfortable in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment where priorities shift quickly

• You don’t wait for instructions, you identify what needs to be done and take ownership

• You are reliable under pressure and follow through consistently

• You are highly organized and take pride in execution and follow-through

• You are proactive and look for ways to take work off others’ plates

• You’re comfortable handling a wide range of tasks, from office setup to event coordination

• You’re early in your career and want exposure to how a high-growth company operates

This role requires a high level of ownership, responsiveness, and attention to detail. It is best suited to someone who enjoys operating in a fast-moving, demanding environment.

Why This Role

• High ownership from day one - you’ll quickly become a critical part of how the company runs

• Exposure across all functions (Product, Sales, Leadership, Operations)

• Opportunity to grow into a broader operations role over time
