Operations Coordinator

Observable Space • Los Angeles, CA

27d • $75,000 - $85,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Observable Space is hiring an Operations Coordinator to join their growing Business Operations function. This role will bring structure, ownership, and follow-through to critical business processes across the company. The initial focus will be on contract administration, including preparing and routing documents for review and signature, tracking status and key dates, maintaining accurate records, and escalating issues. The role will expand into operational tracking, documentation, vendor coordination, and broader business operations responsibilities as the company grows.

Requirements

• 3+ years experience in business administration, contract administration, executive support, or a similar coordination focused role; exposure to contracts or vendor management
• Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for accuracy
• Strong organizational instincts and the discipline to keep processes, trackers, and documentation current without being asked
• Strong follow-through and the ability to manage multiple open items without letting things fall through the cracks
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and good judgment about when to resolve something independently versus escalate
• Proficiency with tools such as DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office, with comfort learning new tools and systems
• Comfort using AI and other productivity tools to work efficiently and solve administrative problems

Nice To Haves

• Organized by nature, not just by job description
• A clear, proactive communicator who follows up without being chased
• Resourceful and comfortable figuring things out when there isn't an established process
• Trustworthy with sensitive information
• Excited to grow the scope of a role as the company scales, rather than needing it fully defined on day one

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end coordination of agreements from initial receipt through execution, including routing for review and signature, tracking status, and following up with internal and external parties.
• Prepare, convert, and format contracts and other business documents to facilitate review and execution.
• Maintain a central contract tracker, including agreements under review or awaiting signature, executed agreements, key dates, renewal terms, and other relevant information.
• Review agreements against established templates and processes, flagging deviations or non-standard terms for the appropriate business owner or outside counsel to assess.
• Maintain an organized repository of executed agreements and supporting documentation.
• Help establish and improve contract administration processes, templates, and approval workflows as the company grows.
• Maintain key operational trackers and documentation so leadership has an accurate, current view of priorities and outstanding actions.
• Support documentation organization and process improvement across company systems.
• Prepare materials, track action items, and drive follow-up for the COO and VP of Operations.
• Identify opportunities to bring greater structure and efficiency to recurring administrative and operational processes.
• Coordinate vendor onboarding and related documentation, compliance, and administrative requirements.
• Support company and vendor registrations, certifications, compliance documentation, and renewals, ensuring requirements and deadlines are tracked and completed.
• Support coordination across Operations, Finance, and other teams to keep operational processes moving.
• Provide ad hoc operational support as priorities shift and take on broader responsibilities as the Business Operations function grows.
