People Operations & Office Coordinator

Job Description

Job Description

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a People Operations & Office Coordinator - this is a hybrid role in Jersey City. Salary range: 100-125K USD plus benefits.

Our mission is to transform how money moves. We believe stablecoins will underpin a new financial fabric, one that is faster, more global, and more efficient than today’s siloed systems. That is why we are building AUSD and the Agora stack—a full-service platform that makes issuing, managing, and integrating stablecoins seamless for developers, fintechs, and institutions.

We’re backed by world-class investors including  Paradigm and Dragonfly , and we’re growing a team to reimagine how value moves online.

ABOUT THE TEAM

We bring the discipline of high-performance finance teams and the creativity of a fast-moving crypto-native startup. We’re a small, mission-driven group of builders who move fast, sweat the details, and hold a high bar for excellence. You’ll be joining a tight-knit team that values  clear thinking, extreme ownership, and high-velocity decision making.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our  People Operations & Office Coordinator , you are our engine room. This is a high-leverage role designed for a "super-generalist" who thrives on operational excellence rather than abstract HR strategy. You will be the "glue" that keeps our team running, acting as a trusted advisor to employees and a direct source of leverage for our Founder.

You are someone who finds genuine satisfaction in "closing the loop"—whether that’s ensuring a complex payroll run is flawless, organizing a world-class team off-site, or solving a sensitive internal issue before it reaches the Founder's desk.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Founder Leverage & Admin: Act as the primary point of contact for administrative tasks, expenses, and office logistics. You are here to clear the path so the leadership team can stay focused on building.

• Payroll & Finance Ops: Take full ownership of monthly payroll and benefits administration. You’ll manage expenses and ensure our financial "house" is in order from an employee perspective.

• The "Safe Harbor" for HR: Act as an approachable, confidential point of contact for the team. You’ll handle employee queries and HR issues with common sense and empathy, especially when team members need a neutral space to talk.

• Event & Culture Logistics: Plan and execute high-impact team off-sites and on-sites. From travel logistics to catering, you ensure our culture thrives in person and remotely.

• HR Generalist Tasks: Own the "nuts and bolts" of the employee lifecycle—onboarding, offboarding, contract management, and maintaining our internal documentation.

WHO YOU ARE

• Execution-Focused: You aren't interested in corporate "fluff." You want to get things done and you take pride in the accuracy of your work.

• Operationally Minded: You have 5–10 years of experience in a startup, finance, or fast-paced professional environment. You have a "no task too small" mindset.

• Trusted & Discrete: You can handle sensitive information and personal employee issues with the utmost maturity and confidentiality.

• Detail-Obsessed: You sweat the details, whether it’s a decimal point in a spreadsheet or the timing of a flight for a team event.
