About GigSafe

A credentialing gap or an uninsured worker isn't just an HR headache here – it's a liability that can shut down a business.

GigSafe is a contractor management platform built for gig and last-mile delivery operations. We are building infrastructure for the future of 1099 work that helps companies pay independent contractors accurately, on time, and in compliance.

This is a big problem. A large market. And we're early. Come build with us.

Role Overview

GigSafe is looking for a Business Operations Manager to be the connective tissue across the business. This is not a passive coordination role: you'll drive follow-through, keep cross-functional work unblocked, and build the operational infrastructure that helps a fast-moving startup scale without losing ground.

You'll touch nearly every function at GigSafe, from GTM and customer success to compliance, product, engineering, and finance. You'll report to the VP of Operations and Strategy and work closely with leadership across the company to make sure the right things are getting done, by the right people, at the right time.

This role is right for someone early in their career who is Type A to the core, AI-forward, and energized by making complex organizations run better.

Responsibilities
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Own follow-through across teams and dependencies. Track action items, chase down Asana tickets, and make sure work doesn't fall through the cracks between functions, including GTM, CS, compliance, product, engineering, finOps, and support

  • Process Building and Documentation: Identify gaps in how work gets done and build lightweight, practical solutions. Document SOPs so processes are repeatable, searchable, and don't live in anyone's head

  • Compliance Documentation Support: Help operationalize compliance processes, including documenting decisions from the compliance committee and building a more reliable repository of operational knowledge as the company scales

  • Documentation and Knowledge Management: Own GigSafe's operational knowledge base: SOPs, cross-functional process documentation, compliance committee decisions, and and building a reliable repository of operational knowledge as the company scales

  • Tools and Systems Ownership: Manage and improve the internal tool stack, including Asana, Notion, Slack, and Attio. Identify automation opportunities and build them, don't just flag them

  • Enablement Support: Help leadership deliver product, customer, and compliance-related enablement across the organization, making it easier for teams to do their jobs without everything running through one person

  • Meeting and Reporting Support: Prepare materials for internal meetings, business reviews, and reporting cycles. Take clear notes, capture decisions, and make sure actions are tracked and followed up on

  • Up-Managing with Confidence: Push senior stakeholders when timelines slip, deliverables stall, or dependencies aren't being resolved. You'rei collaborative, but you hold the line

Qualifications
  • 1-3 years of experience in business operations, project coordination, program management, or a similar cross-functional role

  • Genuinely organized: you have systems for everything and you don't let things slip

  • Comfortable pushing back up the chain: you can press for follow-through with senior stakeholders without losing trust or creating friction

  • AI-forward and automation-minded: you use AI assistants and other tools to work faster and smarter, and you look for opportunities to automate documentation and repetitive work

  • Fast, independent learner: you figure things out with Google, AI, and first principles before asking someone else

  • Strong written and verbal communicator across functions and seniority levels

  • Proficient with project management and collaboration tools: Asana, Notion, Slack, and CRM platforms; Attio experience is a plus

  • High attention to detail and follow-through: you close the loop without being asked

Preferred

  • Experience at a startup or high-growth company, especially at a similar stage

  • Background in consulting, banking, or a structured analytical program

  • Exposure to compliance, logistics, or workforce management environments

  • Tech project management experience or familiarity with engineering workflows (Jira, Linear)

What We Value

Startup Mentality: You're energized by ambiguity, not slowed down by it. When the playbook doesn't exist, you write it. You move fast, stay adaptable, and don't need perfect conditions to make progress.

Give a Sh*t: You care about the work, the customers, the contractors on the platform, and the people sitting next to you. You hold yourself to a high standard not because someone's watching, but because mediocrity bothers you.

Ownership: You treat the company's success as your own, because it is. You take responsibility for outcomes and close the loop without being asked. When something's broken, you fix it, even if it's not your job.

Collaborative: You make the people around you better. Low ego, high trust, and emotionally intelligent. You communicate directly, share credit generously, and don't create unnecessary friction for your teammates.

Critical Thinker: You connect dots, figure things out, and bring solutions, not just problems. You're resourceful and intellectually curious, and you don't need hand-holding to do great work.

Benefits
  • Health, Dental & Vision: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents

  • Unlimited PTO: Flexible time off plus paid company holidays

  • Competitive Compensation: Competitive base salary with opportunities for performance-based bonuses

  • 401(k): Retirement savings plan

  • Equity: Stock options giving employees a meaningful stake in GigSafe's growth

  • Parental Leave: Paid leave for all new parents

What We Do

GigSafe gives companies the tools they need to onboard, pay, and stay on top of compliance for their independent contractor (IC) network—all in one place. We work with gig platforms, delivery services, home-service companies, staffing groups, dispatch operations, and any business that depends on a distributed 1099 workforce. Most teams today are stuck juggling a mess of systems: one tool for onboarding, another for compliance, another for payments, another for insurance—and endless spreadsheets in between. It’s slow, manual, and easy for things to fall through the cracks. Contractors feel it too: confusing requirements, repeated paperwork, and delays that keep them from getting to work. GigSafe brings everything together in one simple platform. We automate onboarding, collect and verify documents, keep an eye on ongoing compliance, and sync data wherever it needs to go. We also streamline payments and consolidate reporting so companies always know exactly where things stand with every contractor. Insurance is part of the picture, but it isn’t the whole story. Our platform helps companies track coverage, manage certificates, and meet requirements automatically—without chasing paperwork or relying on manual checks. For contractors, that means a cleaner, clearer experience that gets them up and running faster. Our goal is to make it easier for companies and contractors to work together. By removing busywork and operational friction, we help teams move faster, stay compliant, and operate with confidence—all while giving contractors a more modern and transparent experience. In short: GigSafe gives companies one place to manage onboarding, compliance, payments, insurance, and day-to-day operations for their entire IC network.

Why Work With Us

GigSafe is a small, fast-moving team building tools that make work easier for companies and the contractors they rely on. We live our values—do right by customers, find ground truth, give a shit, build through it—and we want people who care, take ownership, and want to make an immediate impact.
