About the Role

- Own new hire onboarding logistics: first-day setup, laptop provisioning and pickup, desk assignment, and building access
- Oversee logistics for our New York office remotely, coordinating with local vendors and NY-based team members to keep that office running smoothly
- Act as the go-to person for office-related questions and issues in both locations
