About the job

Who we are: At PeopleGrove we are on a mission to make sure that every student and professional has access to the community and connections needed to succeed. We want to help everyone unlock the social capital of their networks, in a uniquely human way. We accomplish this by empowering universities to take their mentoring, advising, and community engagement to the next level. As a team we are a tight-knit group of passionate education technologists, committed to helping students, educators, administrators, and working professionals. We are quick to share feedback, both positive kudos and constructive pointers, because we love learning and are always looking to improve. We value respect above all else. As Operations Associate, you will work closely with our Operations Manager and leadership team to…

• Help with the interview process by coordinating schedules and conducting phone screens (sharing enthusiasm for our values and mission)
• Assist the Operations Manager with various operations projects across finance, accounting, human resources, and recruiting
• Facilitate onboarding of new team members, making sure that everything is taken care of for a successful first week on the job
• Work with team members across the company, coordinating ways for the team to stay connected, all hands meetings, and brainstorming ways we can continue to bond as a team
  
  

Who you are:

• You are a solutions-oriented, fast-learner with 2-5 years of experience in operations, recruiting, event planning, or another administrative field. You are attentive to detail, highly organized, take ownership, a great communicator, and are not afraid to remind people with a gentle nudge. You want to leave the world better off than how you found it.
• Most importantly you wear a smile to work every day, get along with (just about) everyone, and embody the PeopleGrove values
• Bonus points if you’ve got prior project management or HR experience, love working with people, have experience with an international company, and are passionate about education
  
  

The impact you will have: You’ll know you’re having an impact if you are successfully balancing many different projects at once without letting anything fall through the cracks. It’ll be important for you to prioritize your time effectively and maintain regular and open communication with the Operations Manager and all your teammates. Everyone should breathe a sigh of relief because you’ve made their lives at work just a little bit easier and brighter. At PeopleGrove, we don’t just accept difference — we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products, and our community.
