ABOUT KEEP COMPANY

At Keep Company, our mission is to expand what’s possible by connecting people to themselves, others and the systems around them.

Offered as an employee benefit, we provide working parents and caregivers a Third Space between work and home, and between therapy and happy hour. We bring together small groups of parents and caregivers who, with an expert coach, go through our behavior-science based curriculum. Together, they build collective connection and individual skills. One of our members recently shared, “Put simply, I walk through life differently because of this experience.”

For employers, we offer data-driven and actionable insights to drive change at the organizational level – driving retention, beating burnout and creating cultures of belonging. Trusted by forward-thinking employers and hundreds of employee members, we are ready to grow. Keep Company was one of 10 companies selected to be part of the Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator, run in partnership with Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates company. We’ve supported hundreds of members at some of the most impactful professional services organizations in the world, and we’re just getting started.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Operations Lead at Keep Company, you will be responsible for improving the company’s business operations and working with the co-founders to implement strategic objectives. We are looking for someone with the organizational skills and confidence to integrate and manage tasks across departments and hold all team members, including leadership, accountable for meeting goals. We are also looking for someone who will own and complete projects - from the tactical to the strategic - enabling the leadership team to focus on growing the business. The Operations Lead is a true right-hand to the co-founders, a swiss-army knife trusted to drive efficiencies and impact. This position is a manager, senior manager or director level role, depending on your experience level.

If you’re looking to learn how to build a business, this is the job for you. You’ll get to leave your mark on a huge new category by helping to re-design how organizations invest in their people, uplifting thousands of working parents and caregivers and changing the systems they live and work in.

RESPONSIBILITIES

While the high-level focus of this role is to drive efficiencies and impact, organize ideas, communicate Keep Company’s vision and manage and delegate projects, some specific responsibilities will include the following:

●    Operate at a tactical, strategic, and operational level, handling the oversight of projects that do not neatly fit within the organizational chart or that fall between departments or leadership areas of responsibility. Advise on key issues and present informed recommendations.

●    Lead one-off key strategic projects as they emerge, cross-functional strategic initiatives, facilitate special projects, and ensure action items are executed.

●    Promote team integration as well as cross-functional communication and collaboration.

●    Support and help to drive the execution of follow-ups.

●    Build a process to track and nurture key stakeholders, including advisors, investors, and clients.

●    Conduct all aspects of the job with appropriate level of confidentiality.
