JOB DESCRIPTION

Hey, I’m Leeann and I’m the Head of Operations over here at Lean Startup Co. I work directly for the CEO and have spent over 15 years supporting and advising executive teams. If you
  • love enabling others and building an amazing team
  • dream of working closely with and advising executive teams
  • and are excited about an opportunity to grow your Operations skillset, your communication and leadership capabilities
Check out our new job opening for an Operations associate! This is a unique opportunity where you’ll be personally coached and groomed into a top tier Operations manager. Read on below to learn more.
Who are we?
Born from the global movement spawned by bestselling-author Eric Ries,Lean Startup Company offers the most exciting education solutions to help organizations work in new ways.
Our year-round education efforts transform how organizations work by arming them with an entrepreneurial methodology via our media, conferences and custom programs for large organizations. We serve every size company and sector of the economy — from the aspiring entrepreneur to high-growth startups, nonprofits, and large bureaucratic institutions and connect them with experts who can support them on their Lean Startup journey.
Who are we seeking?
The Operations Associate will manage a range of projects and activities supporting the day to day operations and initiatives of Lean Startup Co (This will start out as a 20-25 hour/week part-time role with possibility to convert to a full time role in the future depending on fit, needs and budget). You will work hand in hand with the Head of Operations to drive forward business critical, operational and cross-functional projects and initiatives.
The ideal candidate for this role is extremely detail and process oriented in planning projects, progress management, is a creative problem solver and thrives in a fast-paced environment. This candidate is proactive, has an ownership mentality and is extremely solution-oriented while being open to coaching and guidance along the way. The ideal candidate is someone who has a high level of personal accountability, a willingness to take risks, and a get things done mentality.
Our team is small but growing, so your role matters to us and will offer significant growth.
The position is 100% remote. We ask that you’re 1) located in the U.S. and 2) available to communicate during Pacific Time business hours.
This sounds like a dream job! What skill set and experience will demonstrate to you that I have the chops to be an Operations Associate at Lean Startup Co.?
  • You love problem solving and seek high touch coaching and feedback. You love tackling big challenges and figuring things out. You don’t need a lot of hand holding and aren’t afraid of owning new things you’ve never tried before. You proactively seek out coaching and feedback so you can grow at a faster pace.
  • You have initiative and see things through. You know that every seemingly simple task or project may be more complicated than assumed at the outset. You value the work at the outset to ask questions and get clarification on what the desired outcomes are, and know what it takes to drive a project to achieve desired results, on-time.
  • Discretion and confidentiality. You’ve handled sensitive information before and understand the importance of discretion and confidentiality.
  • Operations experience/interest. Experience in operations is a plus, but not necessary. We want someone who is pumped to join the team and is excited to test new things.
