Office Manager & Executive Assistant to Founders

Description

As a startup grows from "scrappy" to "scaled," the glue that holds everything together is often one person. We are looking for a seasoned, high-energy Office Manager & Executive Assistant to be the heartbeat of our office and the strategic partner to our founding team.

In this dual-impact role, you will balance the complex logistical needs of our 25–50 person team with high-level administrative support for our founders. We are looking for a "culture architect"—someone who doesn't just manage desks, but builds an environment where people do their best work.

Responsibilities

Executive Support & Communications

• High-Stakes Calendar Management: Own the founders' schedules with precision, prioritizing high-value meetings and resolving conflicts across multiple time zones.
• Travel & Expenses: Coordinate end-to-end travel (flights, lodging, ground transport) and manage all subsequent expense reconciliation and reimbursements.
• Readiness at all times: Ensure the founders are "meeting-ready" by preparing agendas, setting up conference rooms, managing A/V, and coordinating catering as needed for board meetings and investor sessions. 
• Executive Correspondence: Act as a gatekeeper and liaison, drafting professional internal and external communications on behalf of the leadership team. 

Office Operations & HR Partnership

• HR Support: Work in lockstep with the VP of HR to provide logistical and administrative support for team trainings, performance cycles, and employee development initiatives.
• Vendor Ecosystem: Source, vet, and manage all office vendor relationships (snacks, coffee, cleaning, IT peripherals) to ensure a premium employee experience.
• Facilities & Safety: Serve as the primary point of contact for building management to ensure the office is safe, functional, and aesthetically professional.
• Budgetary Oversight: Proactively manage the office operations budget working with the VP of Finance, ensuring we scale our perks responsibly.

Culture & Events

• Strategic Event Planning: Support planning-of and lead the end-to-end execution of team-building events, holiday parties, and high-impact quarterly offsites.
• Onboarding: Partner with HR to ensure every new hire has a seamless "Day One," including workstation setup, welcome swag, and building orientation.

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation including equity ownership - We want you to feel like an owner and benefit directly from the company's growth!
• 401(k) company contributions
• Comprehensive coverage: The company pays 90% of the medical premium costs for you and your dependents and 80% of the dental and vision plan costs. We offer multiple plans to fit your needs, including medical plans from Anthem Blue Cross and Kaiser.
• Flexible PTO: We trust our team to manage their time. Each employee accrues 15 days of PTO/year and we encourage everyone to take a minimum of 2 weeks off per year to relax and recharge.
• Paid Holidays: 13 days per year, including 2 floating personal days per year, depending on when you start.

Requirements
