Full Job Description
What you'll do

We're looking for an exceptional and ambidextrous early-career operator to help us build and scale this infrastructure. You will work across every altitude, from co-designing high-level team planning mechanisms to managing the granular details of a complex project to ensure that it lands successfully. Some weeks, that might mean redesigning processes and building custom AI agents to handle repetitive workflows. Other weeks, it's gaveling on the best lightning talks to feature during our onsite and pitching a mandatory jingle jam.
Responsibilities
  • Team systems & infrastructure: Create processes, onboarding resources, and shared playbooks that help the team prioritize, track, and execute work effectively.
  • Workflow automation: Lead the transformation of the team's critical administrative engines such as inbound media requests, speaking inquiries, and team communication channels and aliases. You'll identify recurring patterns and build AI-enabled workflows and automations that make these processes faster, more reliable, and easier to scale.
  • Project and program management: Act as the embedded PgM for complex comms programs (e.g., Stripe Sessions, the Annual Letter) from planning through execution. Translate fast-moving initiatives into clear objectives, plans, milestones, and reporting.
  • Budget and resource management: Manage the team's resourcing and budget management process including contracting, POs, payments, tracking and budget reporting.
  • Measurement and reporting: Build and maintain reporting systems and data dashboards that track communications impact, media coverage, and operational efficiency. Turn the data into clear insights that help the team make decisions.

  • Highly organized and able to manage several workstreams without losing attention to detail.
  • Actively use AI in your daily work and experience building automations to eliminate manual drag for yourself and your team.
