Air is hiring an early-career People Ops Coordinator to be the People team’s presence on the ground in New York. You’ll help shape what it feels like to work at Air, from a new teammate’s first day to the moments that make the team feel like a team.

You’ll also partner with our Workplace team to make the NYC office feel ready and welcoming, and to help bring the events that pull everyone together to life. As you grow, there’s room to shape the role around what you love most, whether that’s going deeper into People Ops or further into employee experience and events.
