Our clients are winning.

 

We are looking for a half-time operations manager whom can help keep our company running smoothly and in the black as we take on the war machine one website at a time. Prior office manager experience is desired. You must have a working knowledge of Quickbooks. Excellent communication skills are required.

Manage HR policies and procedures.

Manage contract signing and compliance process.

Coordinate day-to-day operations of the office.

Respond to general employee inquiries.

High-level organizational skills and attention to detail.

Working knowledge and experience with Quickbooks.

Experience with bookkeeping and payroll systems for a small business or non-profit.

Willingness to learn and improve existing systems.

A basic understanding of either the website development or social change sectors.

Ability to research tax and insurance issues.

Willingness to encourage and support your coworkers to get them to do business-related tasks they don’t want to think about.

A good sense of humor and ability to self-organize and manage your time.

Volunteer or work experience with non-profits or social justice organizations.

 

Terms

This is a half-time position that includes medical benefits and two

(2) weeks paid vacation. Wage range is $17,280 to $20,640 per year, depending on qualifications and experience. You are also entitled to a cut of our profits above the budget. We offer a worker-owner stake in the cooperative after two (2) years. Our office is located in downtown Oakland.

 

We are really, really chill. We are a small, employee-owned company.

We have fewer than ten staff members, no foundational money, no venture capital, and no debt. We value our people over our contracts every day of the week. We believe in workplace democracy and try to make collective decisions about workload, staffing, projects, technical direction, and other things that will directly effect your job, but avoid long nasty meetings where we are wasting your time about things you don’t care about.

 

If you want to change the world with your awesome accounting and organizational skills, this is the job for you.

 

If you identify as a member of a community that is underrepresented in the political or technology sector, you are especially encouraged to apply for this position.
