Job Title & Location
Remote Administrative Assistant (Remote)
Location: Remote — flexible hours that align with our core team in
San Antonio, Texas
. *Why this matters now*: We just closed a $22 M Series B round and are adding three new product lines; the extra coordination load means we need a steady, organized pair of hands to keep the engine humming while the rest of the team sprints toward launch dates. --- ## The Reality of This Role If you’ve ever watched a small startup grow from a kitchen table to a bustling office, you know that the “admin” part is never boring. In the past six months, our headcount in
San Antonio, Texas
jumped from 18 to 32, and we now support a client portfolio that grew 48 % quarter‑over‑quarter. The people you’ll be working with—our CFO, a product‑leadership trio, and a scattered group of engineers—rely on clear calendars, crisp documents, and a single source of truth for everything from travel itineraries to vendor contracts. We created this role because our “virtual inbox” was exploding. It’s not a ceremonial title; you’ll be the person who pulls the thread that ties the finance team’s month‑end close, the sales squad’s weekly pipeline, and the creative crew’s deadline‑driven asset hand‑offs together. You’ll be the calm in the middle of an otherwise noisy Slack channel, the person who can turn a half‑filled spreadsheet into a decision‑ready report before the next stand‑up. Our culture is built on async communication, trust, and a healthy dose of humor. We’re spread across several time zones, but the heartbeat of the company lives in
San Antonio, Texas
, where we meet once a month (yes, we still love a good virtual coffee chat). You’ll join a team of eight “core admins” who keep the ship on course, reporting directly to our Office Operations Manager, who is based in
San Antonio, Texas
and loves a well‑organized Google Drive as much as a perfectly timed meme. --- ## What You’ll Actually Do -

for invoice processing. - Familiarity with
Concur
,
Expensify
, or similar expense platforms. - Basic scripting knowledge (Google Apps Script, Power Automate) to automate repetitive tasks. - Prior exposure to

You’ll learn the rhythm of a remote team that still schedules “coffee‑catch‑ups” in the
San Antonio, Texas
time zone, and you’ll get comfortable with the async flow that lets us ship code at 2 a.m. Pacific while you’re wrapping up a day in
San Antonio, Texas
. After you’ve mastered the core admin stack, there are three clear pathways we’ve seen teammates take: 1.
Senior Administrative Lead
– overseeing a small team of assistants, setting process standards, and driving continuous‑improvement projects (often the next step after 12–18 months). 2.
People Operations Specialist
– moving into HR‑adjacent work, handling onboarding, benefits administration, and employee engagement surveys (a natural stretch for those who love the people side). 3.
Project Coordinator
– partnering directly with product managers to run launch campaigns, timeline tracking, and cross‑functional planning (ideal for the data‑driven admin who enjoys a little extra complexity). Our culture is built on transparency. We hold a monthly “State of the Company” call where the CEO, based in
San Antonio, Texas
, shares metrics, wins, and the hardest challenges we’re wrestling with. You’ll hear about a 19 % churn reduction effort, a 27 % increase in client NPS, and the relentless pursuit of better processes. We also have an informal “admin‑only” Slack channel where we celebrate small wins—like the day we reduced invoice processing time from 4 days to 1.5 days. --- ## Interview Process 1.
Screening chat (15 min)
– a quick video call with our Office Operations Manager (based in
San Antonio, Texas
) to confirm basic fit and answer any questions you have about day‑to‑day life. 2.
Skills assessment (30 min)
– a short, realistic task: you’ll be asked to clean up a mock shared drive folder and draft a concise meeting recap. You’ll have 48 hours to complete it, and we’ll give you feedback regardless of the outcome. 3.
Team interview (45 min)
– a virtual round with the CFO and a senior product manager. Expect a mix of scenario‑based questions (e.g., “How would you handle a double‑booked executive travel schedule?”) and a chance to meet the people you’ll be supporting. 4.
Culture conversation (30 min)
– a casual coffee‑style video chat with a member of the “admin‑only” Slack community, focused on our remote work habits, communication style, and work‑life balance. 5.
Offer
– we aim to get back to you within 5 business days after the final interview. If you’re not a perfect match, we’ll still share constructive feedback so you can keep growing. *Reminder*: we know that no candidate is “perfect” on paper, and we welcome applicants who bring diverse experiences, even if they haven’t ticked every box. --- ## Closing We are an equal‑opportunity employer. Our team reflects a broad spectrum of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives, and we actively seek to keep it that way. *If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear your story—not just a résumé. Tell us about a time you turned a chaotic inbox into a smooth workflow, or how you helped a remote team feel more connected. Drop a note, and let’s start a conversation.* Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
