👀 WHO WE ACTUALLY NEED (and who we don’t)

• This isn’t for freelancers moonlighting or wanting a side hustle.
• It’s not for someone who feels uncomfortable taking initiative, and who may need a lot of handholding.

This is however for someone who:

• Has at least 2 years of experience in any administrative or operations roles.
• Is tech-savvy, resourceful, and comfortable with online work.
• Has proficiency in data entry and database management.
• Have some experience with common eCommerce tools such as Slack, Google Drive, Asana, Shopify, Klaviyo, Zipify, etc. (Advantageous but not required)

• Is a self-starter , when given resources & training, can get things done without hand-holding.
• Has a natural sense of urgency . When things arise, you’re the first to tackle them.
• Is naturally detail-oriented and organized . Someone who has their desk and bedroom clean and neat.
• Thrives in a support role and always has a positive attitude .
• Is a learner at heart and is always working on self-development .
• Review team reimbursement submissions, and track internal payments across platforms.
• Assist with administrative tasks related to inventory, platform uploads, internal reporting, and vendor coordination.
• Double-check numbers and simple calculations provided by teammates (you don’t need to be an accountant, just comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets).
• Maintain and update internal spreadsheets and trackers - making sure all data is current, consistent, and error-free.
• Help with ad hoc operational tasks as they arise - anything from submitting requests on platforms to ensure all records are complete and organized.
• Bonus Program - Paid quarterly to the entire team when we hit our objectives
• Fully remote with async flexibility
• Unlimited vacation and sick leave days
• Paid courses, coaching, and personal growth budget to help you level up
• We trust you to own your work and drive results

We believe in being clear and respectful of your time. Here’s exactly what to expect:

• Application form: a few short questions and mini tasks to get a feel for your thinking.
• HR Screening interview: This is a 20 - 30 minute interview to determine initial culture and role fit
• Technical Interview: a 60-minute conversation with the hiring manager to dig deeper into your experience, mindset, and fit.
• Paid Trial Assignment: a realistic task (2–3 days to complete) that reflects the kind of work you’d actually do here.
• Final Interview: Usually with our Rockstar CEO, as a final seal of approval
• References

No ghosting.

Just a fair, focused process designed to find the right fit for both sides.

We’re not just building a company. We’re building a culture where great people can do their best work, without the corporate nonsense.

Here are the beliefs that drive everything we do:

• Office politics are destructive, small-minded, and evil.
• We foster cooperation, not competition.
• We show appreciation and gratitude, every day.
• The best ideas win, not the loudest person in the room.
