Office Assistant

The Role

This is a part-time, in-person Office Assistant role based in our Financial District office in New York. You'll be in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, ~8:30am–6:30pm, with additional availability expected for events, team offsites, and the occasional weekend ask.

This is not a quiet role. No two days are the same. You'll be handed things with minimal context and expected to figure them out. You'll get direct, honest feedback — often — and you'll need to both welcome it and act on it immediately.

The ceiling here is genuinely high. This exact role in our London office has evolved into a full regional operations function. Do the job well and it becomes whatever you're capable of making it — full-time EA, events lead, Chief of Staff. But you have to earn it.

What You'll Do

• Own the day-to-day running of the New York office — cleanliness, facilities, Wi-Fi, vendor relationships, and anything that keeps the space functioning
• Manage the cleaning team and all facilities contractors
• Keep the office stocked with snacks, drinks, and supplies
• Plan and coordinate team social events
• Maintain and update office information for new hires and the broader team
• Coordinate on-site interviews — logistics, hospitality, scheduling
• Manage guest visits from arrival to departure
• Support team offsites and leadership events
• Pick up whatever else needs doing — and there will always be something

What We're Looking For

The Essentials

• Some experience in an administrative, operations, or office management role — you've done something like this before and you were good at it
• Direct, concise communication style — you say what you mean and you mean what you say
• High ownership mentality — you don't wait to be told twice, and you don't let things fall through the cracks
• Composure under pressure — fast-paced environments don't rattle you, they energize you
• Strong organisational instincts — you track details, follow through, and close loops without being chased
• Comfortable picking up new technology quickly — you actively seek out tools, including AI, that make you faster and better at your job

Nice To Have

• Experience at a startup or high-growth company
• Familiarity with tools like Slack, Notion, Google Workspace
• Interest in growing into a broader operations or EA function
