\uD83D\uDC9B What You’ll Do

BrightBee is an educational technology startup revolutionizing how K-12 schools recruit and engage with support staff. Our mission is to create a future where schools thrive and workers have the support they need to prosper and grow. We believe in unlocking the potential of every school team member, no matter where they started their career journey.

The Opportunity: BrightBee has an amazing pool of temporary workers who are dedicated to helping K-12 students and schools, which we call "Bees." Our newest Operations Manager will be a critical early hire on our lean startup team. You will run the day-to-day operations of providing customer support to school leaders and Bees, ensuring we fill as many assignments as possible while maintaining high levels of satisfaction and engagement.

Grow the Business: Conduct outbound cold calls to prospective or lapsed school partners/clients to drive engagement and expand our impact.
Collaborate with Product: Act as the voice of our users. Work closely with BrightBee’s product and engineering teams to provide feedback that supports the continuous improvement of our software.
Own Difficult Situations: Handle sensitive, complex scenarios with maturity, including processing and reconciling claims rapidly and communicating challenging decisions (such as site access revocation due to performance feedback).
Wear Multiple Hats: Provide internal administrative and clerical support for the BrightBee team and take on "other duties as assigned"—the ultimate startup staple!
