• Improve and develop our recruiting process in order to create a strong pipeline of candidates for future openings. We want to be proactively reaching out to potential candidates, and talking to those who are the best at their craft.
• Consistently improve our onboarding process to create a welcoming remote-first environment for our newest team members.
• Collaborate with our Operations Team to create welcoming and thoughtful retreats for all our team members.
• Own our relationships with People Ops vendors and products. For example: Culture Amp, Greenhouse, LinkedIn, 15five, various job boards, and vendors of your choosing.

As a member of the Operations Team, you'll work with:

• Sonja Beardsley - Director of Operations located in Portland, Oregon, USA - Sonja joined our team over three years ago. She's seen the company grow from less than 20 people to where we are now.
