Float.com

Float is the world's leading resource scheduling app, helping more than 3,000 creative teams plan their time.
We’re hiring a remote Operations Manager to join our talented team of 20. This is a maternity leave cover, starting as a 6 month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension.
You’ll play a key role in the business operations of Float, ensuring our team is set up to succeed and that our house is always in order.
We’re considering candidates looking for regular part-time (two days p/w) with potential to scale up depending on workload and availability. If you took time off to start a family and are looking to scale back up your working hours, this may be right for you.
You’ll report directly to our CEO, and will manage internal and external operations including:
  • Payroll, benefits and expense management: You'll be our go-to for payroll, benefits or expense-related questions.
  • Basic accounting: You’ll pay vendor and team invoices, reconcile customer invoices, work with our accountant to keep things in check and create basic financial reports.
  • Managing our hiring process end-to-end: From writing job descriptions like this one, to candidate management, and drafting contracts.
  • Onboarding new starters: Ensuring new team members get off to the right start.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone who has had demonstrable experience working in a generalist/operational role and reporting directly to senior leadership. Perhaps you worked for a large team and are looking to have a greater impact in a smaller team.
This role touches all parts of the business and you thrive on the variety that comes with this, and the satisfaction of helping others. You are a strong administrator, project manager and communicator that is equally comfortable interviewing candidates and diving into a spreadsheet.
You understand the legal differences between US Employees and Contractors - our team is a mix of both - and can leverage your experience to improve our policies in countries where we do have team members. Experience in US corporate tax is a bonus.
Our payroll is administered by JustWorks, and you’re familiar with payroll administration and PEOs
As our team is in many different time zones, we rely on clear, concise, written communication. This is one of your strengths, and it should be evident in your application. Experience working remotely and/or across time zones is preferable.
As this role reports into our Aussie-based CEO, we’re looking for someone with at least two hours crossover with Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).

  • 🏖 Work where you want: As long as you have great internet speeds, be wherever you want to be.

  • ⚕ Medical, dental & vision: In the US, we pay 50% of your coverage, including partners and children.
  • 🖥 Home Office Expense Budget: We help you kickstart or upgrade your home office setup.
  • 💰 Team Liquidity Pool: Rewarding our team if there's ever an exit
