About The Position

Throne is a fast growing Series B startup transforming public infrastructure by delivering clean, safe, smart restrooms to cities, transit agencies, and public spaces. With flagship customers like LA Metro, Caltrain, Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Beverly Hills and Washington DC, we’re rapidly scaling and preparing for multi-city expansion in 2026 - 2027. We recognize an unspoken problem: that better bathroom accommodations are sorely needed in most cities. Public and retail bathrooms are neither positioned to meet demand, nor incentivized to provide the quality experience people deserve. Our mission is to provide peace of mind to the millions of people who set out on an adventure on any given day. That adventure may be big or small. It may involve taking your toddler to the park, driving a stranger to the airport, running a half marathon, or exploring a new city for the first time. Throne is looking for Operations Specialists (Cleaners) to join our team, reporting to the DC Operations Manager. As an Operations Specialist / Cleaner, you will contribute to the operations team’s day-to-day success by keeping Thrones in a clean and well-maintained condition and performing a variety of tasks in the field and warehouse. Specialists typically work 4-5 hour shifts between the hours of 6am and 9pm. The hourly rate for this position starts at $20.00. Actual compensation will depend on a candidate’s applicable experience, skills, and geographic location. Full-time roles are also eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including stock options.
