About the role We're looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Site Ops Coordinator to help keep our space running at a high standard. You'll work closely with our Site Operations Lead, owning inventory management, tracking, and purchasing across facilities, furniture, and hardware — while also supporting the broader day-to-day operations of a building that's part office, part research hub, part community anchor.

Team CollaborationWork closely with the Site Operations Lead and broader operations team Track tasks and facilities requests to ensure nothing falls through the cracks in a high-volume environment Help document processes and recurring tasks, especially around inventory and purchasing workflows

You might be a good fit if you: Take pride in spaces that feel genuinely well cared for — not just functional, but good to be in Enjoy being a reliable presence in a community of people doing important, demanding work Like variety and can juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball Are hands-on and happy to roll up your sleeves Care about AI safety and want your day-to-day work to support it, even if you're not a researcher yourself
