<![CDATA[About Us We are an early-stage software company that has a broad vision for transforming most of the world’s workforce. Our vision is very simple: use science to better match employees with employers. Many people have referred to our web-based solution as the “eHarmony for finding jobs”, and we are quickly becoming a standard for many of the world’s largest employers. Our focus is unique in that we are concentrated on the “hourly” labor market (call centers, retail, hospitality, etc…), which makes up over 65% of the world’s jobs. Despite the difficult market conditions, we recently raised our 2nd round of funding from a top-tier VC, are rapidly adding new customers (who see our solution as one of the few tools that can help them make more money in a “down” economy), and we’re looking for a rockstar Office Manager who can double as an executive assistant to our busy CEO. We are seeking an unusually enthusiastic and motivated superstar who will thrive in an environment where hard work and creative thinking are the keys to success. The successful candidate will be joining a team of top performers who have built and are now executing on a groundbreaking technology-driven solution. If you are a person who has consistently exceeded expectations and would cherish the opportunity to know your personal contribution will play a significant role in shaping the company’s future, than you likely will not find a more attractive opportunity. Job Description Although we’re looking for someone with a strong analytical and organizational mindset, it’s not necessary that you have much (or even ANY) work experience. Your role will also entail the ownership all areas of general office management as well as acting Executive Assistant to our CEO. Primary responsibilities within the role will include, but are not limited to the following: - Oversee all general office administration tasks, including management of payroll (through ADP), setup and maintenance of necessary office vendor relationships (insurance, utilities, shipping, etc…), establishing basic office policies, and making our office a FUN place to work. -Serve as the “gatekeeper” for all things organizational and important at our office. This means that you are the go-to person for everyone within and outside the company for anything related to records, policies, and office organization. - Assist CEO as needed in making travel arrangements, managing expense reports, setting up and confirming meetings, and managing collective office schedule (conference room, exec team meetings, office meetings, etc…). - Special projects related to sales and business development, on an as-needed basis—including data-entry in and/or configuration of Salesforce.com -HR Management: Work with key company executives and department heads to help them recruit new team members, including management of schedules for interviews, coordinating offer details, on-boarding, etc… Additionally serve as the point person for processing all HR items that come up in the normal course of business. Requirements The ideal candidate will possess the following key attributes: 1) Education: - BS or BA from a top-tier program/institution. Note that we weigh heavily on this one, as we’ve had great success hiring superstars straight out of places like Harvard, Stanford, etc… -We are big fans of hiring people from top-tier universities with no formal work experience, and allowing them to use a position like this as a stepping stone to move into other areas of our company after they have established their “legacy” on this one. 2) Experience: - Though no experience is required, the following is preferred and may give you a leg up in being selected: - 1-3 years experience in managing general office duties for a fast-growing, early-stage, venture-funded company. -1-3 years experience in executive assistance/administration, helping a key high-profile executive manage a interactions with outside parties (investors, customers, etc…) as well as complex and ever-changing travel schedule and juggling heavy calendaring. -Some kind of experience successfully establishing order where none existed before. It doesn’t matter where (or when) you did this, but it is near critical that you have done this before, as it will be a large part of your job. 3) Technical Knowledge: -More than comfortable trouble-shooting basic office IT challenges (networking, phone system, email server). You don’t need to be an expert already, but the idea of becoming one quickly by your own devices (online research, self-teaching, bribing your IT expert friends to help you) shouldn’t be intimidating to you. - Comfortable with Excel - Comfortable with PowerPoint - Experience with Salesforce.com preferred, but not required 4) Other: -Ability to be professional with those outside the company that require it (investors, customers, etc…) while also comfortable in a very informal/casual/startup-type work environment. - Outstanding written and verbal communication skills - Detail-oriented and highly organized - Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously - Personable, friendly and warm - Comfortable working in a fast-growth, early stage company environment, where there is little direction given on how to complete projects/tasks beyond basic project/task goals. Compensation This position offers an attractive compensation package, including stock options, and full medical/dental benefits.
