Our mission is to help people move more, feel better, and make movement meaningful.

Our ambition is to build the world’s leading movement-and-rewards platform, scaling globally while using technology, data, and smart incentives to drive lasting behavior change and wellbeing at scale.

 

🎯 About the role

As our Office Manager in the U.S., you'll play a central role in making our New York office a welcoming, well-functioning, and vibrant place to work. You’ll manage all things related to office life, team events, and onboarding — while also supporting Yves, our CEO & Co-founder, with select administrative and logistical tasks.

If you thrive on autonomy, have a knack for creating structure, and love bringing people together, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

Finance & Administrative Operations

  • Own the monthly US payroll cycle in Justworks: timesheets, bonuses, and data accuracy, in partnership with the finance team.
  • Run benefits administration end to end — healthcare, insurance, and perks — including timely enrollments, changes, and renewals.
  • Handle day-to-day payments: supplier invoices, receipt reconciliation, and vendor accounts.
  • Produce a monthly financial report for the NY office covering expenses, budget, and forecast.
  • Propose and manage cash optimization: short-term treasury placements and liquidity tracking.
  • Work with our external accountant on tax filings, payroll declarations, and record-keeping, and keep documentation audit-ready.
  • Maintain the relationship with our banking partners and keep account operations running smoothly.

Executive Assistant Support to the CEO

  • Protect the CEO's focus: proactively manage the calendar around strategic priorities, and take on delegated admin and financial tasks with precision.
  • Coordinate travel, event participation, and related logistics.
  • Act as the main point of contact for external accountants, legal advisors, and financial partners on filings, reporting, and compliance.
  • Support oversight and documentation of executive-level investment activity alongside the relevant advisors.
  • Assist with the preparation and submission of corporate and administrative declarations.

Office & Facilities Management

  • Be the go-to person for the New York office: space, supplies, snacks, maintenance, and daily comfort.
  • Manage all office vendors and service providers (cleaning, deliveries, utilities, security).
  • Keep the office tidy, secure, and always ready for employees, visitors, and partners.
  • Lead office improvements, décor, and furniture orders, and track the office budget and spend.

People Experience & Onboarding

  • Prepare everything new joiners need before day one: welcome kit, badge, laptop, and role-specific tools.
  • Coordinate the first-day experience (welcome breakfast, first team lunch) and handle offboarding logistics in Justworks.
  • Be the first port of call for day-to-day employee needs in the office.

Team Events & Culture

  • Plan and run local events: afterworks, team lunches, team buildings, holiday parties.
  • Support company-wide events such as the annual seminar, including travel logistics.
  • Bring creative ideas so everyone feels included, celebrated, and connected.

 

Our commitments

  • 🏆 SUCCEED — You’ll join a team of passionate people who share values of ambition and determination
  • 🤝 TRUST — We give you real autonomy, trusting you to reach your goals in your own way
  • ⛏️ EXPLORE — You’ll grow in a culture that’s constantly evolving and curious about what’s next
  • 📈 PROGRESS — We’ll support you through challenges, learn from mistakes, and move forward together
  • 😁 SMILE — And every day, you’ll be part of a fun and positive environment where humor is always welcome

 

🧠 What we’re looking for

You’re the perfect match if…

  • You have 3+ years of experience as an Office Manager, Admin, or EA — ideally within a startup or another fast-moving environment.
  • You've worked with Justworks, our HR-tech platform (and if you know it inside out, even better).
  • You're already using AI in your daily work — or you're ready to get there fast. We build with AI at WeWard, and this role is no exception: we expect you to reach for it, experiment, and make it part of how you operate.
  • You’re tech-savvy and quick to learn new tools (Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, etc.).
  • You're fluent in English and French, with sharp written and verbal communication in both.
  • You're comfortable with change: you adapt quickly and help others do the same in a scaleup that's constantly evolving.
  • You bring strong interpersonal skills: you’re warm, trustworthy, and great at creating a positive vibe.
  • You’re eligible to work in the U.S.

If this sounds like you, apply — we’d love to meet you. 🎉

 

🎁 What we offer

  • 💰 Top tier earnings : dive into a role offering a competitive salary range, with bonuses and stock options
