About the Client:

The client is reimagining incident response with agentic AI. Backed by Greylock and growing fast, the company has expanded from 20 to 50+ employees in just a few months.

Logistics & Admin

• Manage office relocation support, vendor coordination, and lunch/supply orders
• Aggregate daily priorities into digestible summaries and dashboards

Requirements:
