Office Manager

Company – CleanFiber, a High-Growth Green Building Materials Company delivering significant environmental benefits.

Location – The company is based in Buffalo, NY with planned nationwide expansion. Candidates for this role should be based in or willing to relocate to Buffalo, NY.

Role & Compensation

You will be responsible for providing administrative support across all departments as CleanFiber aggressively scales its business in Buffalo and beyond:

• Hands-on management of small office operations and services
• Support for executive leaders in areas including but not limited to legal document management, investor communications, scheduling, and meeting preparation

• Responsible for daily paperwork (BOL’s, invoices, receipts), manage load tenders, and issue PO’s when needed
• Assist with expense report submissions
• Handle any administrative tracking requests/projects as they arise
• Assist with production and safety paperwork and filing as requested

Requirements

The right candidate will bring deep experience in these areas:

• Customer Service: Outstanding service for all internal customers is critical as we continue our aggressive growth. This position will be seen as a “go-to” resource for our team and should have strong interpersonal skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience Across a Range of Scales and Vantage Points: We are looking for a candidate who is familiar with the high paced environment of a disruptive startup, but can understand the mindset of large and small counterparts as we rapidly scale.
• Prioritization: The ability to prioritize requests coming from multiple team members will be key to this individual being successful. Ensuring work is completed timely with great attention to detail is a necessity
• Educational Requirements: BS in Business or related field

Nice-To-Have Experience:

• Experience as an executive assistant, office manager or other support role
• Experience in a high growth environment
• Experience with ventures backed by private capital investors

We are seeking an individual with these personal attributes:

• Team Building: We believe in the dignity and respect of all employees. We’re looking for leaders who emulate this and lead by example, making and keeping commitments and getting things done.
• Customer Focus: We need to drive a fanatical devotion to our customers throughout our team, ensuring that every delivery possible is made on time, and that our product maintains the highest quality standards. We need a leader who will challenge themselves to do the right thing for the customer, even when it is not easy or convenient.
• Hands-On Worker/Leader: We are a small company and you will be expected to handle the day-to-day challenges of building a business – initially with only the support of a relatively small but enthusiastic team. As we grow, we’re looking for someone to work with and alongside our team – not a “manager/administrator”, but a “worker/leader” who takes action to solve problems, communicates effectively, and leads by example.
• A Master of Daily Execution: We are seeking an individual capable of working independently and that is self motivated to identify and address problems as they arise.
• Enjoys the Work and Sees the Vision: We are seeking a candidate who wants to be in a manufacturing environment and to be an integral part of building a successful company. You will join CleanFiber not only for your career and income, but for the adventure of building business, changing the building materials industry, and improving the lives of our employees and customers. You will feel success when the team and our customers are successful, and you will have an opportunity to share in our financial success via meaningful equity upside.
