Motel Vacancy: Operations Assistant

Wanted: this person

Motel is looking for an Operations Assistant which will play three important roles:

• Office Management: placing orders, distributing staff-wide communication, celebrating various staff achievements (birthdays, work anniversaries, product launches, etc.)
• Financial: monthly bookkeeping and reporting, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable
• Logistics: planning our biannual company retreat, booking travel, researching industry best practices (whether that be new tools, policies, benefits, recruiting techniques, events, and so on)

Please note that this role is initially part-time, but has the distinct possibility of becoming full-time in the future. Schedule is very flexible, but ideally you would work roughly 24 hours/week on a set and self-determined schedule. You can learn more about working at Motel here.

• Your brain loves numbers
• Consistent dependability, for exciting and mundane tasks alike
• Ability to work independently while remaining flexible enough to switch gears when someone needs help
• Not just a fluency in spreadsheets, but a love of them too (I know you’re out there)

• 1–3 years of professional experience
• Extraordinary written communication (we are a remote company, after all)

We could be so happy together
