Agile Web Implementation Excel Writing Startup System Solid Cms Data Slack Build Project

At Forestry.io, we believe the web is one of humanity’s greatest achievements and our mission is to help people build a better web. We’re building a Git-backed content management system (CMS) and an open source site-editing toolkit (TinaCMS), both focused on the JAMstack. We’re a growing company with big dreams and ample opportunities for you to have an impact and grow with us.

We are looking to add a multi-dimensional, detail-oriented, no-task-is-too-large-or-too-small, self-directed People Ops Manager+ to our team. Internally we refer to this person as a “Swiss Army Knife,” as our ideal candidate is Jack/Jill-of-all-trades who is comfortable flexing a range of skills. This role is a mix of people ops, administrative work, special projects, creating structure around processes and just about anything else where there isn’t a clear owner. We see this person developing and growing with the organization and moving into a more focused people operations role as we scale. If you are a culture-carrier looking to get some people operations experience, an early-stage-startup aficionado, a builder, a person who creates order out of chaos and someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and diving in where needed, this could be your dream role!

What You'll Do:

This is a hybrid, diverse position covering the following:

Talent Acquisition Projects: Implementation/ownership of our Applicant Tracking System (Greenhouse), coordinating all candidate interviews for the team, aid in writing/editing job descriptions, assist in screening resumes and pitch in on screening calls, aid in ensuring that our interview processes are equitable and allow us to hire a diverse group of candidates.
Culture Ambassador: Uphold our values of respect, accountability, maximizing impact, and bringing clarity to ambiguity. Create and execute team building and appreciation events, manage any gifting, act as the eyes/ears of Forestry bringing team and employee issues and accomplishments to leadership, ensure that we are creating an environment that values and promotes inclusion and belonging, advocate for good remote-first practices within the org while delivering happiness and delight.
Human Resources Projects: Implementation of BambooHR and establishing an easy onboarding process for all new employees, managing our employee handbook, track employee PTO, assist with the creation and maintenance of employee policies.
Miscellaneous Operations, Project Management and Administration: Ad-hoc administrative tasks to help things run smoothly. Help facilitate all-hands/town halls, own the management and distribution of all assets (including laptops, keyboards etc), aid in building and developing decks with cross-functional team support, writing web or blog copy, data entry and pitching in where needed.

Who You Are:

You have a Bachelor's degree and have spent 1-5 years in a People Operations, Recruiting, Administrative, Project Management, Operations or a hybrid/generalist role ideally in a startup environment.
You have experience setting up business processes, policies and have a basic understanding of People Ops/HR (and you are eager to learn more!) and recruiting.
You have managed various projects from inception through completion -- you are an executor through and through.
You are comfortable in excel, powerpoint, google sheets and Slack, and you have solid verbal and written communications skills.
