Job description

This role runs many programs at once across a startup: making the San Francisco office a place people want to be, planning events and community gatherings, supporting recruiting and customer research visits, and handling special projects for the co-founder. It also covers how teammates get their tools, from onboarding to rolling out new software. A strong candidate brings a few years in operations, recruiting, hospitality, or production, is organized across parallel workstreams, and has a knack for spotting what a room or a guest needs before being asked.

How it fits the AI era

AI takes over much of the recurring admin work, so the person in this seat is expected to use it to save time and to rebuild processes that keep failing. The human side stays central: hosting, reading a room, curating who should meet whom, and deciding which projects matter most. The role rewards someone who pairs tool fluency with taste and care.

How it builds AI experience

The posting asks for comfort using AI on recurring work and for creating AI systems where processes keep breaking, alongside rolling out new AI tools to teammates. Experience gained would center on practical workflow automation and tool onboarding inside a small software company serving farms and ranches. Building it could mean showing past examples of automating a repeated task or improving how a team adopts new software.

Worth showing

• Event planning and hosting
• Office and vendor operations
• Tool setup and onboarding
• Practical AI workflow use
