About Artie
Artie is a real-time streaming platform that moves production data across systems in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.
Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI workloads. Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity — and we’re growing fast.
We’re trusted by teams like ClickUp, Substack, and Alloy, and backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight Ventures, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.
About the Role
We’re hiring our first Office Manager / Executive Assistant to help scale Artie’s operating engine.
This is not a “keep the lights on” role. You’ll build the systems that keep the company running. You’ll partner directly with founders, influence how we operate day-to-day, and set the standard for operational excellence as we grow.
You’ll be the connective tissue across the company — ensuring our office runs smoothly, our executives are focused on the highest-leverage work, and our team has what they need to perform at a high level.
What you’ll do
- Own executive support end-to-end
- Manage complex calendars across founders and leadership
- Prioritize ruthlessly — protecting time for deep work, strategic thinking, and recruiting
- Coordinate meetings, investor updates, offsites, and executive travel
- Draft, proofread, and manage sensitive communications with precision and discretion
- Anticipate needs before they surface
- Build the operating backbone of the office
- Run day-to-day office operations for our SF headquarters
- Manage vendors, leases, facilities, IT coordination, and office logistics
- Own budget tracking for office and administrative expenses
- Create systems for onboarding, workspace setup, and team support
- Drive internal coordination & execution
- Ensure meetings are purposeful, well-prepared, and action-oriented
- Track follow-ups and drive accountability across teams
- Support recruiting coordination and candidate experience
- Help plan company events, team offsites, and culture-building initiatives
- Create scalable processes
- Build repeatable systems for scheduling, documentation, travel, onboarding, and vendor management
- Identify operational gaps and proactively fix them
- Bring structure to ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment
- Be a culture carrier
- Help make our office a place people are excited to show up to
- Maintain high standards for organization, hospitality, and detail
- Support an in-person, high-performance environment
What we’re looking for
- Executive support mastery:
- 2-4+ years supporting senior executives or founders in fast-paced environments
- Experience managing complex, high-volume calendars and shifting priorities
- Comfortable handling confidential information with maturity and discretion
- Proven ability to operate independently without constant direction
- Operational excellence:
- Strong systems thinker — you bring order to chaos
- Exceptional attention to detail (nothing slips through the cracks)
- Experience managing vendors, facilities, or office operations
- Comfortable owning budgets and tracking expenses
- Extreme ownership:
- Never drop the ball — internally or externally
- Anticipates problems and solves them before they escalate
- Takes pride in making things run seamlessly
- High agency & adaptability:
- Thrives in ambiguity and rapid change
- Comfortable switching from strategic planning to hands-on execution
- Willing to do what it takes — from board prep to moving furniture before an all-hands
- Strong communicator & collaborator:
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication
- Able to work across founders, engineers, investors, and external partners
- Knows when to escalate and when to decide independently
- In-person presence:
- Excited to work 5 days/week from our SF office
- Enjoys being at the center of team energy and culture
What you’ll get
- A Seat at the Table: Work directly with founders and leadership with real visibility into company strategy.
- Company-Wide Impact: Shape how Artie operates internally as we scale.
- High Leverage Exposure: Develop deep context across GTM, recruiting, and operations.
Compensation & Benefits
- $80-120K base salary depending on experience
- Equity: meaningful early-stage equity grant
- Healthcare, 401(k), unlimited PTO
- Lunch & dinner provided
