• Keep records, files, and shared systems organized and up to date
• Pitch in wherever needed to keep a growing team running efficiently

Qualifications

• 2+ years of administrative, operations, or office coordination experience, ideally in a startup, lab, or small-business setting
• Highly organized and self-directed, with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Comfortable juggling varied tasks and shifting priorities
• Proficient with common office and productivity tools (email, calendars, spreadsheets, document sharing)
• Reliable, discreet, and able to work independently in person in Seattle, WA
• Experience with basic bookkeeping or procurement a plus

Pay and schedule

• Onsite in Seattle, WA
• Part-time (~15-20 hours/week with room to expand as the team grows, flexible scheduling)
• Competitive hourly salary
