You will be responsible for everything that ensures the New York office runs smoothly, using your resourcefulness and attention to detail to keep the office in tip top shape.

You’ll work alongside the rest of the People Team to foster a strong culture in the office, including organizing events to build team cohesion.

This role also gives you real visibility across the business; from supporting senior leadership to partnering with the People team and beyond.

  • Plan & execute events for New York team, including attending events outside of regular work hours

Who You Are:

  • Position will be based in-person, in our NY office

  • Must be currently located and authorized to work in NY

  • Reliable: you’re punctual, responsive, on top of your schedule, and you always meet your deadlines

  • Highly organized: you love checklists, processes, and catching every last detail

  • Calm under pressure: you can bring order from chaos, stay solutions-focused, and keep your calm

  • Strong communicator: you can interact with all types of personalities and you’re comfortable navigating feedback

  • Hospitality mindset: you are friendly, gracious, and always thinking about your teammates’ experience

  • Ambitious: you’re excited to grow in the role over time and take on broader ownership across HR, operations, or other areas of the business
