We have expectations and so should you. We want to make sure we’re aligned on what is expected from both sides.

• You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. You enjoy bringing order to complexity — whether that’s keeping processes on track, maintaining accurate records, or anticipating team needs before they arise. You’re proactive, eager to learn, and comfortable working across multiple departments, from finance and HR to client services.
• You communicate clearly, handle sensitive information with discretion, and take pride in supporting others so the broader team can operate at its best. While you’re confident managing daily tasks independently, you’re equally collaborative and always ready to jump in where needed. Above all, you’re curious about how agencies run behind the scenes and excited to grow your skills in operations, finance, and team support.

• Experience: 1–3 years in operations, administrative support, finance coordination, or a related role (agency, ecommerce, or startup experience is a plus).
• Technical Skills: Comfort with common tools like Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive), Slack, and project management platforms (Monday, Harvest, or similar). Familiarity with finance or HR software (QuickBooks, Bill.com, Rippling, Harvest) is a plus but not required.
• Organization & Detail: Strong ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate records, and ensure deadlines are met.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to interact with team members, clients, and vendors professionally.
• Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment and shifting between operational, financial, and administrative tasks.
• Problem-Solving: Proactive in identifying inefficiencies, surfacing issues, and proposing solutions.
• Confidentiality: Ability to handle sensitive financial and employee information with discretion.
• Growth Mindset: Interest in learning about agency operations, finance, and process improvement with opportunities to grow into expanded responsibilities over time.
