- Support recruiting operations, including maintaining hiring plans, coordinating with recruiters, scheduling interviews, and tracking candidates
- Help execute company-wide initiatives and process improvements
- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive work and make our internal systems more efficient
- Jump into new operational problems as they come up and help figure out how to solve them

## What We're Looking For

- 0 to 2 years of work experience; startup, high-growth, or builder experience is a strong plus
- You thrive in a high-performance environment with an exceptionally high bar for quality and execution
- You take ownership of outcomes from start to finish and consistently follow through
- You are exceptionally organized, disciplined, and detail-oriented
- You communicate clearly and professionally, both written and verbally
- You are proactive and comfortable figuring things out without having every step defined
- You move quickly, prioritize well, and bring a strong sense of urgency to getting things done

Bonus Points

- Familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Monday, Asana, an ATS, or accounting/invoicing platforms
- Experience building automations or using AI tools to improve workflows

- Work directly with company leadership and get exposure to how a fast-growing creative business operates
- Help build the systems and processes the company will use as it scales
- Work alongside a team creating brands, products, and stories for some of the most ambitious companies in tech
- Grow into broader ownership across business operations as the company expands
