About The Role
As our new Office Manager, you’ll be the heart and soul of our New York office. You’ll ensure an inspiring and efficient workplace environment, oversee all daily office operations, and act as the go-to person for anything office-related. From managing our suppliers and hardware to owning our merchandise and perks, you’ll play a key role in shaping the employee experience. You’ll work closely with other office managers to prepare and coordinate our annual company offsites and internal events, helping to foster a vibrant team culture across locations.
With your pragmatic and hands-on mentality, you directly report to the Head of Operations and set the guardrails for our organization to evolve into a solid and well-oiled engine for innovative decision design. This role will require hands-on work, time management, as well as organizational skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset to transform ideas into reality. This is why we are looking for a professional with an interest and first-hand experience in office operations or office management.

Our Stance
We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.
We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism, and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
