You will own the NYC office.

fully in-person, between our Palo Alto HQ and San Francisco office. We’re a flat, talent-dense organization dedicated to solving technical and creative problems.

We seek like-minded individuals who share our passion for applying science, creativity, and consistency to big and complex problems with equally big outcomes. These are our values:

Responsibilities

• Parallel’s New York team works out of NeueHouse Madison Square, and your job is to make it feel like ours.
• You’ll run the in-person side of hiring and onboarding: candidate onsites, Day 1 for new hires, guests and visitors.
• Everyone who walks in should leave with the right impression.
• You’ll plan team gatherings, help bring company events to New York, and work with People Ops and the Palo Alto and SF office leads to keep all three offices consistent.
• As the NYC team grows, you’ll write the playbooks that let the office scale without you handling every detail yourself.
• It’s on us to ensure real-world outcomes for our customers.
• Perfect every detail because quality compounds.
• Accelerate change: Ship fast, adapt faster, and move frontier ideas into production.

Requirements

• Have run an office or workplace on your own, ideally at a startup or in a coworking space where you were the only person on the ground. You’ve managed vendors, building relationships and events without a facilities team behind you. You notice the empty supply closet, the broken A/V and the guest no one met at the door. You make people feel welcome without making a production of it. You don’t sort tasks into above or below your job description. You keep many threads moving at once, you’d rather fix a process than repeat it, and you act before anyone asks.

Life at Parallel

• Create win-wins: Creatively turn trade-offs into upside.
• Make high-conviction bets: Try and fail. But succeed an unfair amount.
