About the Role
We’re looking for an Operations Project Manager who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and make things happen. In this role, you’ll tackle a mix of projects across sales, recruiting, and product — building processes where they don’t exist, fixing the ones that do, and stepping in wherever there’s a gap. Some days you might be planning a company offsite or booking travel, other days you’re setting up a recruiting pipeline or keeping a product launch on track.
This role offers broad visibility into startup life and the opportunity to grow into a dedicated operations function within 18 months. No task is too big or too small — if it needs doing, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
What You’ll Do
- Run point on projects across sales, recruiting, and product, ensuring deadlines are met and priorities stay clear.
- Build and improve lightweight processes that make the team more efficient.
- Coordinate communication and scheduling with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders.
- Keep projects and tasks organized, from initial planning to final delivery.
- Jump in wherever needed, from onboarding new hires to organizing team events.
- Spot operational gaps before they become problems and take the lead on solutions.
We’re Looking For Someone Who
- Has experience running operations or projects in a fast-paced environment (startup or small team a plus).
- Thrives on keeping things organized and moving forward across multiple competing priorities
- Has impeccable attention to detail, judgment, and discretion
- Moves quickly and independently with a mindset toward getting things done
- Communicates with polish and professionalism
- Is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to work in a hybrid environment
Bonus Points For
- Experience planning events, managing internal projects, or supporting finance/admin tasks
- Familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, and Notion
