Manager of Operations and Administration

Where? Irvine/Orange County, CA area but we also work part of the week remotely!

We know this is on your mind… How much?  Salary, benefits, and an opportunity to participate in our employee stock plan.

Who are we?  We’re an exciting SaaS startup that has developed a unique software platform for one of the world's largest verticals to communicate across channel partner networks.

Who are you?  You are a world-class juggler of projects, deadlines, numbers, people, and priorities who can help leadership keep control of the company's growth. A bit of HR, some accounting, overseeing vendors and some contractors, help us get settled in a new facility, even keeping the CEO in line some days (he said it was ok to acknowledge this), and a whole lot more.  We can promise it will never be boring.

What do we need you to do?  Be the den mother/father and be the glue on the operation and the team.  Knower of all things HR, Ops, Admin and so much more. Our hope is you know more about what this role can become than we even realize.

What kind of person do we need?  Fast thinking, ownership/entrepreneurial mindset that is uber-organized and thinks about new things and new or ways of doing things every day.  A tech enthusiast and a master of productivity and execution. This is a super high impact role and critical to our growth. This role has great upside for both job and career expansion as well.

While this is part time to start, we’re hoping to find the superstar that will take the full-time reins in this role moving forward.  We expect the role to move to full-time in 4-6 months.

Reporting directly to CEO and other Co-Founder – that will be awesome most days and hard others and we recognize it.

We are gaining great traction within our targeted space and need to continue to our growth. We’re VC funded but approaching profitability later this year so we’re not that high risk crash and burn tech startup you’ve read about!
