We are seeking a highly capable and resourceful operator to lead Internal & People Operations at Trellis. This role will own many of the essential functions that keep the company running, including recruiting coordination, payroll and benefits administration, company events, office operations, vendor management, budgeting, and finance-related workflows.
This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, creating order from ambiguity, and ensuring that important details do not fall through the cracks. You will work closely with the founders and leadership team and serve as a central point of coordination across employees, candidates, vendors, and external partners.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, discreet, and comfortable moving between strategic projects and hands-on execution. One day may involve improving the recruiting process and coordinating candidate interviews; another may involve planning a company off-site, resolving a payroll issue, reviewing vendor spend, or improving office operations.
This role offers significant visibility into the company’s operations and the opportunity to shape Trellis’s people programs, internal infrastructure, and employee experience as the company scales.
