Workplace Operations Manager

We’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Workplace Operations Manager to help keep our facility, team, and leadership operating at a high level.

This is a high-ownership role at a fast-moving aerospace hardware startup. You’ll be responsible for many of the operational functions that keep the company running smoothly day-to-day — from managing workplace logistics and vendor coordination, to supporting executive scheduling, planning events, and maintaining a world-class working environment.

The ideal candidate is resourceful, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and excited to work in a dynamic startup environment where priorities evolve quickly. You should be equally comfortable coordinating a VIP customer visit, managing contractor schedules, booking founder travel, or making sure the shop and office remain fully stocked and operational.

You’ll work closely with company leadership and play a key role in scaling the company’s workplace operations as we grow.
