You’re an organizational wizard who thrives on structure, loves crossing items off a to-do list, and finds joy in creating order from chaos. With your upbeat energy and creative problem-solving skills, you excel at juggling multiple priorities. You’re equally comfortable coordinating a team retreat, managing calendars, or handling sensitive payroll details with confidentiality and discretion. You’re fun to work with, proactive, and driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on a mission-driven company.

Who will you work with?

In this hybrid role, you will report to our CEO Britt Baker for the Executive Administrative role (25%) and to our Sr. Manager, Operations Haley Kenna for the Operations Administrator role (75%). You will work fairly independently, but interact with the broader team through your role.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
