Base pay range

Gizmo is a startup on a mission to make learning so easy and fun that anyone can learn anything. We're aiming to help 1 billion people learn by building Duolingo for Anything - a gamified way of learning anything!

We're an early stage well-funded startup that's grown 10X in the last year, with a million users a month. We now need a razor-sharp operator to keep the rocket ship stable. You'll be our first Ops hire and will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the three founders to build the people, finance and office foundations that let the product and engineering teams fly.

Responsibilities

• People Ops: own recruiting pipelines, onboarding, payroll, contracts and compliance
• Strategy: run analytics and create dashboards to keep us pointed in the right direction
• Finance: run day-to-day bookkeeping, invoices, expenses, FP&A and cash-flow forecasting; coordinate with external accountants and investors
• Process & Compliance: design lightweight, scalable processes, keep policies tidy and accessible
• Office & equipment

• You have exceptional ability
• You are highly impact focused and happy to do what it takes to get the business running smoothly
• You want to work hard for a chance at glory
• You have a broad skill-set and can dive deep on numbers one hour and build an onboarding checklist the next
• You are a clear communicator
  
  

Nice-to-haves

• You've run HR and finance functions in a fast-growing startup
• Passion for efficient learning, gamification or ed-tech
• Experience scaling headcount from :10 to 50+
• You've founded or co-founded something before
  
  
  

Benefits

If this is you, you can expect:

• Work directly with all three founders and shape company strategy
