Associate
The Mission: Higher Ground Labs is a start-up accelerator and venture fund for progressive, political technology. Founded by Obama alumni Shomik Dutta and Betsy Hoover — and backed by investors like Reid Hoffman, Ron Conway, and Chris Sacca — HGL has invested in 36 companies, many of which have become integral components of the progressive political tech ecosystem. In 2018, our companies reached 5,000 campaigns and 50 million voters. Our 2020 goals are even more ambitious. But impacting elections and building long-term progressive infrastructure does not happen overnight. Our work centers around the thoughtful deployment of for-profit capital, private-sector business rigor, and user-centric innovation. We are growing and need your help!
The Role: HGL is hiring an Associate. This person will provide executive level support to Partners, maintain our internal calendars, lead on internal and external projects, programs and events, and manage our remote "office." The Associate will manage the Partners' active calendars by communicating with contacts, designing travel itineraries, managing appointments, and anticipating scheduling needs. In addition, the Associate will manage the company calendar, including external communications scheduling, speaking opportunities, conferences, and webinars. Finally, the Associate will manage certain projects and programs, as well as the internal operations of our remote "office." The role will focus on these key functions:
Partner Scheduling 40%
Internal Calendar Management 25%
Project and Program Management 20%
Remote "Office" Management 15%
The Fit: We are a start-up ourselves, operating in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment. Team members at HGL wear multiple hats, collaborate closely, and have the autonomy to pursue new ideas. We are seeking a self-starter who has a scheduling, operations or advance background. This person should have sound judgment, exhibit strong written and verbal communication skills, and display exceptional organizational skills. The ideal candidate is a strong team player, has the ability to balance multiple priorities, is hungry for growth opportunities, and thrives when given responsibility. A good fit would have:
At least 1 year of scheduling or managing logistics
Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks, with excellent attention to detail
Strong interpersonal skills and a knack for building relationships with stakeholders including internal staff, clients, and vendors
High proficiency in Google and Microsoft office suites
Optimism about the role that technology can play in bettering our politics
Salary: $50,000 - $70,000 / year (commensurate with experience and location) + benefits
Location: San Francisco or Los Angeles or Chicago
