Operations Associate

About Boring Stuff
We’re a back-office partner for creators and creator-led companies like Airrack, Yes Theory, Jesse Michels, and Natalie Lynn among others. We manage the finance/accounting, operations, and HR so our clients can focus on building content and companies. We’re a small, serious, and trusted team that gets results without a lot of noise.

The Role
We’re hiring an Operations Associate to help manage the day-to-day details that keep everything moving. You don’t need to be an accountant or a tax expert. What matters more is that you’re smart, relentless, and curious. You’ll be digging into complex problems, chasing down missing info, keeping systems organized, and making sure the right things get done at the right time.

This isn’t a strategy or vibes role. It’s not about building decks, attending endless meetings, or trying to go viral. It’s about execution, discretion, and ownership. You’ll work closely with our CEO and interface with creators, vendors, and partners, often with access to sensitive or confidential information. We need someone who can handle that with maturity and good judgment.

What You’ll Do

• Own and maintain our internal tracking systems including Airtable, Notion, Gusto, QuickBooks, and Google Drive
• Help build and track models in Excel.
• Follow up with clients, vendors, and partners to gather paperwork, signatures, and updates
• Keep tabs on recurring tasks like payroll, reimbursements, tax filings, and compliance deadlines
• Write internal process documentation, templates, onboarding forms, and help standardize workflows
• Flag problems early, troubleshoot proactively, and push tasks to the finish line
• Travel occasionally, especially in Southern California, to support client signings or operational needs

What We’re Looking For

• You’re organized, detail-oriented, and great at follow-through
• You love figuring things out, whether it’s a payroll form, a tax calendar, or a broken Airtable formula
• You write clearly, work fast, and don’t need to be micromanaged
• You’re not trying to be a creator or use this job for access
• You handle sensitive information with discretion and do not chase clout
• You’re curious, grounded, and ready to grow in an operations-heavy role
• Bonus if you have experience with Airtable, Notion, Gusto, QuickBooks, or client ops and support
• You are ideally in Los Angeles or willing to relocate.

How We Work

• We care about execution, not optics
• We do not waste time on decks, useless meetings, or vague brainstorms
• We prioritize clarity, speed, and accountability
• We work hard, move fast, and respect each other’s time

Perks

• Direct access to the CEO and exposure to real decision-making
• Behind-the-scenes access to some of the top YouTubers and creator-led businesses in the world
• Flexible hours and remote-friendly culture
• Tons of ownership, variety, and opportunities to learn
• A high-trust, low-politics environment where speed and results matter
• A chance to build real operational skills instead of doing busywork
