THE OPPORTUNITY:

As a Contract Operations Coordinator at Brisk Teaching, you'll play a key role in keeping our day-to-day operations running smoothly across finance, people, talent, and internal ops. You'll work hands-on across a broad range of recurring operational workflows—from accounts receivable and accounts payable to employee onboarding and office management—partnering closely with our Head of Operations and cross-functional stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity to support a fast-growing, mission-driven edtech company where your work directly enables financial rigor, employee experience, and team productivity at scale.

YOU WILL:

Finance operations

• Own accounts receivable end-to-end, including billing, collections, and reconciliation.

• Manage accounts payable, including invoice processing and vendor payments.

• Serve as liaison to our bookkeeper.

• Administer our expense platform, including expense program enforcement, policy compliance, and user management.

People operations, HR administration, and talent acquisition

• Coordinate the employee onboarding program.

• Administer HRIS, including data entry, system updates, employee records maintenance, and HR compliance forms.

• Schedule candidates for manager screens and virtual onsites.

Internal operations & vendor management

• Manage physical mail and office operations for our SF and NYC spaces.

• Maintain the company knowledge base and Slack workspace.

Flex capacity

• Provide surge support during operational spikes (office moves, system migrations, audit prep).

• Take on ad hoc projects as they emerge across the ops function.

YOU HAVE:

• Exceptional attention to detail—you catch the billing discrepancy, the missed onboarding step, the expired COI before anyone else does.

• Strong ability to context-switch and multi-task across parallel workstreams without dropping threads, and comfort holding many small open loops at once.

• 3–5 years of relevant experience in operations, ideally spanning finance ops, people ops, talent ops, and/or general internal ops.

• Availability to work 25–35 hours per week for ~3 months (contract may be extended longer depending on need).

• Flexibility to maintain regular availability during overlapping U.S. business hours (approximately 10am–3pm PT).

• Ability to work independently, prioritize against ambiguous or shifting inputs, and handle confidential information (employee and financial data) with discretion.

BONUS:

• Hands-on experience with finance operations workflows, including AR/AP, expense management, and coordinating with external bookkeepers or accounting firms.

• Familiarity with HRIS/PEO administration (TriNet, Rippling, Justworks, or similar), including payroll audits, employee records, and leave administration.

• Experience at a Series A/B-stage startup during a period of rapid headcount growth.
