Part time EA

Part-time, in-person (Provo, Utah) — trial period with path to full-time role in 2027

About the Role

Timpanogos Hiking Co. ("Escape the Noise") is a fast-growing Utah outdoor brand with a physical store and a loyal, growing following. We're looking for a highly capable, dynamic, hard-working right hand to the CEO — someone who can help run our store and team with leadership, organization, and become the reliable "front door" for the business as it scales.

We are looking for someone who wants to be here long term and help us build something incredible. This is a rare kind of role. You'll start part-time as a trial to make sure it's the right mutual fit — with a clear path to a full-time position in 2027 for the right person.

Why This Role

This is a true ground-floor opportunity with a brand that's building real momentum. Timpanogos Hiking Co. is built around helping people escape the noise and reconnect and that mission shows up in our culture and our community, not just our marketing. You'll get to build something meaningful alongside a founder who's invested in your growth, join early, and grow as the business grows.

What You'll Do

Help CEO with day-to-day operational tasks. Direct staff, handle day-to-day decisions, and keep operations running smoothly and efficiently (POS and daily operations are trainable; all staff learn this).

Report/coordinate with CEO regularly. Someone who can figure things out.

Oversee part-time staff. Schedules, accountability, onboarding new hires, and being the first line for staff issues.

Be the founder's gatekeeper. First point of contact for anyone trying to reach the founder — filter, triage, and handle what doesn't need their direct attention.

Help the CEO with organization, schedule, and correspondence.

Help fine-tune internal systems — fulfillment, budgets, and SOPs — as the business scales.

Help handle logistics for events, trade shows, and store needs.

Highly organized with strong follow-through — nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
