- Coordinate operational matters involving benefits administration, vendors, compliance requirements and office setup.
- Reduce manual work and establish repeatable processes for new business needs.
- Handle research, vendor calls, spreadsheets and detailed administrative work directly.
- Manage competing assignments, communicate progress clearly and bring in specialists when needed.
What you bring
- At least two years of professional experience managing demanding work and competing priorities.
- Evidence of solving ambiguous problems and personally completing the work.
- Strong organization, accuracy, practical judgment and concise communication.
- A collaborative approach and willingness to handle routine tasks alongside complex projects.
- Consulting, business operations or generalist startup experience is helpful; prior startup experience is not required.
