Instawork is a gig-economy marketplace for blue-collar workers. We've changed the way traditional recruiting works for small businesses (e.g. a sign on the window) by turning the process into an automated matching problem. Our vision is to organize the world's labor force and make it as accessible to local businesses as tap water. We're growing rapidly and are expanding across the US.

We’ve been fortunate to be funded by some of the greatest investors in Silicon Valley: Benchmark (Bill Gurley), Spark Capital (Nabeel Hyatt), Y-Combinator, SV Angel, CrunchFund, and many more.

Instawork is hiring its first Payroll Manager, reporting into the Controller, to help build a professional payroll function within the company. This role is a mix of very hands on, traditional payroll tasks and forward-looking projects to improve our systems and processes. Based in our San Francisco office, this is an awesome opportunity to join an early stage company with great investors, helping real people, every day.
