Summary

We are looking for a driven, dependable, highly adaptable team member to join our Ops team. The ideal candidate would be excited about jumping in to help with existing operations from day one, and thoughtful about creating new systems to help us scale. We are looking for someone to dig into the details and create a rhythm of business (including tooling, finance, investor relations, and vendor management).

You can jump seamlessly from task to task (no task is too small), but can also build with the bigger picture in mind, and be a reliable triage to support high level leadership decision making. You are excited by touching many things, growing as an expert, and growing in true ownership over things in the operations world. You are humble and can execute on small details, but trustworthy and can think strategically. The ideal candidate may also have an understanding of finance operations.

You are an excellent communicator and excited to partner with various teams across the company (legal, events, product). You are a do-er—someone who has an eye for creating processes to create order and repeatable systems.

You’ll sit at the intersection of operations, finance, legal, and leadership. You will drive critical workflows that will help drive diligence and compliance in our processes. You will play a key role in making sure the operational engine behind Imbue is reliable and built for growth.
