About the role

Alembic is growing fast, and we're hiring an Operations Coordinator to join our Operations team — the people who make everyone else's work easier. This is a broad, ground-floor role with real ownership: you'll keep the company running day to day and take on the projects that let us scale.

Your first and most urgent priority is our office expansion — taking our space from one built for 50 to one built for 150 — and from there you'll own a rotating set of operational projects that keep the team humming. It's ideal for a highly organized all-rounder who likes variety, takes ownership, and would rather build the playbook than inherit one.

What You'll Do

  • Leading our office expansion — coordinating contractors, the landlord, and budgets to build out new floors, basement, and storage, and getting each phase fully operational (access, security, supplies, logistics) so the team can just work.
  • Taking on projects across our operations, for example:
    • Sourcing and coordinating vendors and suppliers — facilities, services, and supplies — and keeping terms and renewals on track.
    • Assisting on a SaaS/tools audit — mapping our stack, flagging redundant tools and unused licenses, and driving efficiencies.
    • Planning and running company events, from team offsites to the holiday party.
    • Handling day-to-day office logistics — supplies, meeting and visitor flow, and general team support.
    • Being the first stop for everyday IT and facilities questions, resolving the quick ones and routing the rest.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • 2–4 years in operations, workplace/office coordination, a similar all-rounder role at a fast-moving company, or an entry-level interest in rapidly earning stripes.
  • A highly organized project manager — you can run vendors, budgets, and deadlines at once without dropping any of them.
  • A hands-on bias for action and genuine comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities.
  • An excellent communication and a service mindset — people trust you to get things handled.
  • A willingness and ability to be on-site — this is an in-person role.
  • Bonus: experience supporting an office build-out or move, vendor sourcing and negotiation, event planning, or having helped a startup scale through rapid growth.

The role is right for you if:

  • You take pride in making everyone else more productive — the team works better because you're on it.
  • You like variety and broad ownership, and you'd rather build systems from scratch than maintain someone else's.

Why You Might Be Excited About Alembic

  • Make the whole team better: You'll join the Operations team whose job is to remove friction for everyone else — high-leverage work you'll feel across the company.
  • Ground-floor impact you can point to: You'll lead the buildout that takes Alembic from a 50-person space to a 150-person company — foundational work the whole team lives in every day.
  • Broad ownership, real projects: Facilities, vendors, tools, events, day-to-day ops — you'll own a rotating set of projects and see them through.
  • Behind a category-defining product: Alembic is the pioneering Causal AI platform, trusted by Fortune 100 companies like Nvidia, Delta, and Mars and backed by a $145M Series B.
  • Series B momentum, real ownership: Meaningful equity at a Series B company with proven traction and a lot of building still ahead.

Why You Might Not Be Excited

  • This is hands-on and on-site. You'll be leading a buildout and solving real problems in person, not directing from a distance.
  • You prefer a fully built-out process for every detail — here you'll define the playbook as you go.
  • You prefer static and predictable.
  • Priorities shift fast as we scale, and you'll wear a lot of hats in a single day.
