Community & Office Manager

Free Agency is on a mission to empower people to reach the highest levels of their career potential. We work with talent to break the information and process asymmetries holding them back from doing more, making more, and being more. We’ve raised over $15M from world-class investors like Maveron, Resolute Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman’s Thirty Five Ventures, Palm Tree Crew, and more.

Free Agency brings Hollywood-style career management to knowledge workers, starting with the tech industry. We provide concierge services and digital products to help people find incredible jobs, make more money, and become high-performing leaders. Unlike solutions in recruiting, we’re entirely paid by the talent we work with, which enables us to provide them with dedicated Talent Agents to manage “the business end” of their career. Talent success becomes our success.

To date, we’ve helped hundreds of professionals negotiate over $340 million in offers, and work with talent building the cutting-edge future in the startup and tech industry.

About the job:
We're an NYC-based startup that regularly hosts community events & produces 3 individual video podcasts — shooting long-form content almost everyday.

We're looking for a diligent, expert problem-solver and communicator to join our team as a Community & Office Manager. This role is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to manage all the details that amount to an exceptional experience when an individual interacts with a brand in-person.

You’ll have the opportunity to expand your network by interacting and building relationships with influential industry leaders, innovators, and experts who are shaping the future of technology that our events & shoots attract (including startups, VCs, and universities).

You should be next-level dedicated to your work. We want obsessives who aim to be at the top .5% of their craft, and seek new challenges + learning daily. We do way too much every day, and want team members who live for that kind of energy.

You will:

• Familiarize yourself with our event & filming operations, and ensure all steps are properly executed, including furniture & music set up, sign ins, event wrapup, etc.
• Welcome guests into our office & ensure an A+ experience for speakers & guests alike
• Represent the Free Agency team by sharing information about our startup to event attendees and ways they can engage with us
• Act as a steward of our office space by managing equipment, reogranizing furniture, aiding with set up & break down for events & shoots, coordinating repairs, sorting mail, receiving packages & grocery orders, watering plants, etc.

You should:

• Have at least 3 years of professional experience; Previous experience with events or administration is preferred, but not required
• Have meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of event & shoot setup and execution is carried out to the highest standard
• Demonstrate the aptitude to go above and beyond the job description to deliver exceptional experiences for our guests, partners, and community members
• Have remarkable interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to connect and engage with diverse audiences; be generally empathetic and in tune with people and their needs when they enter our space
• Have a sharp intuition about how to solve problems that come up during shoots and events on the fly & the proactivity and foresight to tackle them early
• Possess a sense of urgency about executing on your high standards as quickly and efficiently as possible

This position is part time, with full days on Tuesdays and Fridays required. Other weekdays on an as-needed basis. 22-30 hours/week at $25-30/hr depending on experience.

This position is fully in-person in our Manhattan office.

Why Free Agency matters:
Job search and career progression are broken. Candidates haphazardly apply to jobs, meet only a few companies, settle during offer negotiation, and generally don’t optimize the process of moving along in their careers. As a result, Free Agency believes that everyone is undercompensated.

That doesn’t just have to do with the money we make, but also the teams we’re a part of, the type of work we get to do, and the alignment to mission along the way. All of this has an impact on our own satisfaction, health, and financial wellness, but we don’t give it the attention it deserves.

By aligning incentives with individual talent, Free Agency is enabled to build first-of-their-kind products & services and define a new category of career management.
