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 Office Manager, you’ll be the operational backbone of our New York City headquarters, ensuring our team has an exceptional in-person experience every single day. You’ll own the systems, logistics, and details that keep a high-performance office running smoothly - from managing vendors and stocking the kitchen to coordinating team celebrations and preparing the office for company events.

This is a highly hands-on role for someone who loves creating organized, welcoming, and efficient environments. You’ll work cross-functionally with every team at the company and play a key role in shaping the day-to-day employee experience as we scale.

In this role, you will:
  • Manage day-to-day office operations including lunch logistics, kitchen stocking, workspace upkeep, office supplies, and ensuring a seamless in-office experience for the team

  • Keep the office fully operational by proactively handling maintenance needs, coordinating with building management, cleaners, and vendors, and troubleshooting day-to-day office issues

  • Own office procurement and logistics including Amazon ordering, inventory management, shipping equipment to remote employees, post office runs, and handling returns

  • Support recruiting and onboarding logistics by coordinating interview experiences, arranging candidate meals, and preparing workstations, laptops, monitors, and other equipment for new hires

  • Plan and coordinate in-person team experiences including birthdays, work anniversaries, team lunches, happy hours, and larger company events

  • Assist with office events and offsites by coordinating logistics such as catering, bartenders, vendors, setup, and ensuring the office is fully prepared

  • Manage company merchandise, marketing collateral, and employee materials including business cards and ensuring inventory is consistently stocked

  • Support office growth initiatives including workspace organization, office moves, and continuously improving the employee experience as the company scales

We’re looking for someone who:
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment where priorities shift quickly and no two days look exactly the same

  • Is extremely organized with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks while juggling multiple priorities simultaneously

  • Has a proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a no-task-too-small attitude and naturally steps in to solve problems before they arise

  • Brings a warm, positive, and thoughtful personality that helps create an outstanding in-office experience and strong team culture

  • Is highly reliable, resourceful, and professional in communicating with employees, candidates, vendors, and external partners

Qualifications
  • 1+ years of experience as an Office Manager, Workplace Operations, Executive Assistant, or similar roles

  • Experience supporting fast-paced, high-growth startup environments or other dynamic, in-person workplaces preferred

  • 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’ve raised $18M in funding (including a recent $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 30 employees to join alongside the founders. You’ll take on meaningful responsibilities and play a key role in our next stages of growth.
