Special Projects Lead

170k – 200kNew York, NYBusiness OperationsRemote4+ YOE
Summary

Own high-impact strategic projects reporting to the CEO, including employee onboarding redesign, manager training programs, and internal communications at a profitable remote startup.

About the role

What you'll do

You'll report to the CEO and own a portfolio of high-leverage projects. The first 3-6 months are anchored on three areas:

Employee onboarding

  • Own the end-to-end new hire onboarding experience - from offer accept through 90 days.
  • Redesign onboarding so every new hire ramps faster and knows what it takes to succeed at Tremendous from day one.
  • Build the systems and content that scale as we hire.

Manager training

  • Develop a training plan for new and existing managers - covering hiring, performance management, feedback, and career development.
  • Build the curriculum and materials (e.g., manager onboarding, ongoing manager forums) to make Tremendous a place where great managers are made.
  • Partner with the exec team to raise the management bar across the company as we continue to scale.

Communications

  • Own the recurring internal communications that keep the company informed (primarily written updates).
  • Support the exec team on their presentations by developing slides and their underlying narrative.
  • Help establish the standard for what a great Tremendous communication looks like.

Beyond these, expect to take on whatever is most important and lacks a clear owner — strategic projects, cross-functional initiatives, and special asks from the executive team.

What you'll bring

  • 4–7 years of experience in consulting, banking, BizOps, Chief of Staff, or a similar high-ownership role at a fast-growing company.
  • A builder mindset - you enjoy creating structure where none exists.
  • An AI-first approach - you reach for AI as the first tool in your box.
  • Strong design sensibility - you know what a great deck or document looks like.
  • High ownership - you take responsibility for outcomes.
  • Exceptional written communication - we are a documentation-first company.

What's cool about the role

  • Work directly with founders and exec team at a profitable, employee-owned company at an inflection point.
  • A wide aperture: you'll touch hiring, comms, strategy, and product over time.
  • Real ownership of meaningful high impact projects from day one.
  • Competitive pay and equity. Base salary for this role: $170k to $200k.
  • Real benefits. 100% covered health (US), unlimited PTO, 12-16 weeks paid parental leave.
  • Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas.
  • Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.
