    Role Overview

    We are seeking a high-energy, proactive, and organized Office Coordinator to be the face and "engine" of our new Austin office. This is a unique role: for the first six months, you will be a key player in our office launch—setting up vendor accounts, drafting operational SOPs, and ensuring the building is ready for ~300 employees. Once the office is live, you will be managing the front desk while keeping our office operations running smoothly.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Vendor Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for contractors, movers, furniture installers, and utility providers.
    • Operations Setup: Sourcing and managing accounts for snacks/beverages, janitorial services, security, and office supplies.

    • Asset Management: Help track furniture and equipment deliveries.
    • Front Desk Leadership: Provide a "concierge-level" experience for 300 employees and guests.

    Who You Are

    • A Self-Starter: You don't wait for a task list; you see a problem and fix it before anyone else notices.
    • Social & Personable: You genuinely enjoy interacting with people and can remain calm and friendly during a busy morning rush.
    • Highly Organized: You can juggle a vendor delivery, a broken HVAC call, and a guest check-in simultaneously.
    • Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Austin area (especially the Parmer/Avery Ranch corridor) is a plus for vendor sourcing.
