• Support recruiting operations, including maintaining hiring plans, coordinating with recruiters, scheduling interviews, and tracking candidates

• 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

• 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
