• Maintain accurate records in our HRIS and ensure we're running clean processes as we scale
• Oversee the day-to-day operations of our NYC office - vendors, supplies, facilities, and the little things that make the space work
• Own logistics for company offsites, team dinners, and internal events
• Design and execute cultural programming that builds connection across a growing team
• Be the person who notices what needs to happen and makes it happen
