Summary

This role is ideal for a proactive Operations professional with at least 2 years of experience, preferably within the fast-paced environment of a venture-backed startup. Since this is a Senior-level position at a local HQ, they are looking for a "high-ownership" individual who can manage vendors, budgets, and facilities independently without needing a playbook handed to them. The compensation is competitive ($85k - $95k), especially for an Irvine-based role. You'll be joining a high-growth AI company that works with massive enterprise clients like NVIDIA and OpenAI. This is a high-visibility position where you will directly influence the company culture and "in-office experience" as the team scales. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Thrive in a high-accountability environment where you are the "go-to" person for the office. * Are highly organized and comfortable managing Google Workspace, Slack, and office budgets. * Enjoy "spinning plates"—from coordinating executive schedules and large-scale team offsites to managing building security. * Prefer a strictly on-site, collaborative role in Orange County.
