Apply now

We're looking for an organised, people-first generalist to keep the team running and growing. You'll own hiring pipelines, coordinate team events and culture, manage project scheduling and delivery planning, and drive outbound outreach to prospective clients. This is a hands-on role in a small team - you'll have real ownership across the business from day one.

What you'll do

  • Run the hiring pipeline — job posts, screening, scheduling, candidate communication
  • Coordinate project scheduling and delivery planning across the team
  • Organise team events and look after day-to-day culture
  • Drive outbound outreach to prospective clients
  • Keep internal processes and tools running and improving

What we're looking for

  • Experience in operations, project coordination, or a similar generalist role
  • Comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Strong written communication - you'll be writing outreach and coordinating with clients
  • People-oriented - you care about team culture and hiring well
  • Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity in a startup environment
  • Familiarity with project management tools (Notion, Jira, or similar)

The team

You'll work directly with the founders and across the whole team. It's a standalone role, so you'll have room to shape how operations runs.
