About Rabbet

Rabbet is the leading platform for construction finance management, connecting people and data to help commercial lenders and real estate developers manage over $150B in assets with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. Our cloud-based software centralizes construction finances, automates administrative work, and delivers real-time visibility into billions of dollars of commercial construction projects. Founded in 2017, Rabbet is a small, but growing team of ~25 employees backed by QED Investors and Y Combinator.

In this role, you'll work across the entire company; supporting leadership, keeping our security and compliance program running, and making sure the operational engine of a fast-growing startup stays organized and on time.

About The Role

As a part-time (20hrs a week) Operations Manager, you'll own the operational engine of a lean, high-performing team.

This is a hybrid role, roughly split between executive support for the CEO and operational/administrative ownership for the broader organization. It is not a traditional EA role. The operational half carries genuine project ownership and cross-functional coordination responsibility. The right framing is an operator who also supports the CEO, not an assistant who also does some ops work. You'll run recurring processes end to end, build the systems that keep a growing startup organized, and free up leadership to focus on growth.

This role is ideal for an experienced operator who's highly organized and can keep things moving without dropping anything, trustworthy with sensitive information, and energized by variety and ownership. You'll touch a little of everything, report directly to the CEO and may support other senior leaders on a project basis as directed.

What You'll Do

Executive Support (CEO-facing)

Calendar ownership: proactive management, prioritization, and conflict resolution

Meeting preparation: agendas, briefing materials, and follow-up tracking

Periodic travel coordination, domestic and occasional international

Board and investor logistics support

Communication triage and liaison where appropriate

Operations & Administrative Projects

Internal event planning and execution (offsites, all-hands, team programming)

External event planning and execution (customer conferences, prospect dinners) in coordination with Marketing and Sales

Discrete operational projects assigned by the CEO: process improvement, vendor coordination, cross-functional initiatives

Data entry and records hygiene across internal systems

Keep people operations running smoothly, from employee onboarding and offboarding to interview scheduling support

Vendor and facilities management as needed

Own our security and compliance administration, including SOC audit coordination, Vanta management, access reviews, security training, and vendor due diligence

Maintain our internal knowledge base, documenting processes and keeping shared systems organized

Drive internal communications and culture, including company events, recurring meetings, and goal tracking

What You'll Need

3+ years in operations, business operations, office/executive management, or a similar role, ideally at a startup or high-growth company

Demonstrated ownership of a security and compliance program or strong aptitude to take it on

Exceptional organization and follow-through; you keep many threads moving without dropping any

Sound judgment and discretion with confidential information (HR, security, financial, executive)

A builder's mindset; you design and improve processes rather than just maintain them

Strong written and verbal communication; you can explain things clearly and keep leadership and the team informed

Strong technical aptitude; you pick up new tools quickly

High ownership mindset and bias toward action; you operate effectively with minimal direction

Experience supporting senior executives and managing vendor relationships is a plus

What's In It For You

Join a high-caliber, mission-driven team

Meaningful, varied work with real ownership across the company

Flexible, part-time schedule (20 hours/week) with hybrid flexibility

Direct exposure to leadership and the inner workings of a growing startup

Investment in your professional growth and development

A strong culture of learning, inclusion, and collaboration
