Overview:
We're looking to hire a passionate and people-centric person who has the potential to be the best People Operations Manager in the world. This person will be responsible for helping find, develop, motivate and retain the team at Mindmaven - acting as a champion for the company culture, growth, and compliance. We're headquartered in California (in that town with the beautiful bridge), but the job’s location can be anywhere in the US. To start, this role is part-time (20 hours/week) but will become full-time (40 hours/week) in the near future. Work hours will mostly be based on US-West coast time. All training and work will be done remotely wherever you are, but you need to have a reliable computer and the ability to keep it running.

- Passion for people: You believe the most important thing in life is relationships, including (or especially) when it comes to running a successful company. You believe in the best of people and get excited to be a part of a person's growth.
- Strong Ethics: You believe that earning trust with others is a critical part of being successful. You are incredibly passionate about doing things with integrity and discretion.

- Thinking ahead: You enjoy thinking one step ahead for the people you work with, solving needs before they even arise in their minds.
- Highly communicative: You believe that many issues and challenges do not even arise if you communicate well. You can’t remember ever being accused of talking too little.

- Reliable and Professional: Within just a few short weeks, the person you’re supporting will build a high-level of confidence and trust in you.
- Listening and empathy is an art form: You understand the value of listening and love collecting more information than just the words that are being said.
- Technology is fun: You might not have earned the honors of being called a “geek” but if given a piece of technology (a service, software or hardware), you will make it purr like a cat.
