About Garage

Garage is a marketplace for specialized vehicles and equipment, starting with emergency vehicles. By automating every part of the transaction—including payments, freight, paperwork, warranty, and financing—we reduce what used to take months down to minutes. We're building the modern platform that powers commerce across America’s essential industries.

We recently closed a $13.5M Series A ($18M in total funding) from Infinity Ventures, Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, FJ Labs, and other top investors. In less than a year, our team has already served customers in all 50 states – and we’re just getting started.

The Role

As the Executive Assistant to the founders, you’ll be the operational backbone of our growing team, wearing multiple hats to keep our fast-paced startup running smoothly. You’ll work directly with the founders to manage everything from executive calendars to company culture, playing a critical role in scaling our operations across every town and city in the country.

In this role, you will:
  • Manage day-to-day office operations including lunch logistics, procurement, and workspace maintenance

  • Support recruiting logistics by scheduling interviews, coordinating travel, and processing payroll for the team

  • Build company culture through team events, offsites, and fostering a positive work environment

  • Handle financial operations including basic bookkeeping and expense auditing

  • Provide executive support by managing founder calendars, coordinating external events, and purchasing client gifts

We’re looking for someone who:
  • Loves the energy of a high-growth environment where every day looks a little different

  • You have good judgement, high integrity, and a no-task-too-small mindset

  • Positive, warm personality with a supportive and thoughtful approach to working with others

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Office Manager, or similar role

  • Exceptional organization skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines

  • Strong communication skills

  • Self-starter who thrives in ambiguous environments, and proactively takes on tasks

  • Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks

You could work anywhere, so why Garage?
  • We’ve grown revenue 10x in the last year

  • We just raised our $13.5M Series A and are well capitalized

  • We have a product loved by users– used daily to procure mission-critical equipment across the country

  • We’re punching well above our weight– everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact

  • We have a talent dense team operating in a high performance culture, in-person in NYC

  • We’re backed by world class investors including Y Combinator, Infinity Ventures, Initialized Capital, FJ Labs, and more

As part of our close-knit team, you’ll be one of the first 15 employees to join alongside the founders. You’ll take on meaningful responsibilities and play a key role in our next stages of growth.
