This is a 5 day in office position in our San Francisco office. This role will start part-time with possibility of converting to a full-time permanent position.
About UsPreference Model is building automated ML research engineering.
Existing frontier models are brittle when applied to real-world ML tasks. The present bottleneck is the lack of high-quality RL training environments. Our first step is to build RL environments that reflect real-world complexity, with diverse tasks and robust reward functions.
Our founding team has previous experience on Anthropic’s data team building data infrastructure, and datasets behind Claude. We are partnering with leading AI labs to push AI closer to achieving its transformative potential.
About the RolePreference Model is growing fast, and we want one person who owns our space and the in-person experience. You run the office day to day, give new hires a good first day, and organize the events that bring people in.
This is a hands-on job. The first thing you'll do is get us moved into our new office space. After that, you keep the office running and put on the events that make people want to be there.
This is a 5 day in office position in our San Francisco office. This role will start part-time with possibility of converting to a full-time permanent position.
What You Will DoRun the office day to day:
Coordinate office moves:
Movers, furniture, floor layout, and seating
Set up the space so it's ready on day one: desks, wifi, kitchen, supplies
Stand up the new conference rooms, including AV and room booking
Keep the office stocked and running: snacks, coffee, supplies
Greet guests and receive mail and packages
Set up desks for new hires, keep the space tidy and clutter-free, clean out the fridge at the end of each day, and water the plants
Coordinate with building management to obtain keys for new hires, and collect keys and office access when someone leaves
Keep the first-aid kit (including an EpiPen), earthquake kit, and fire extinguishers stocked and current
Ensure required compliance posters and the business certificate are posted correctly
Ensure EpiPen and CPR training has taken place
Culture and events:
Welcome every new hire in person on their first day: meet them outside, hand them their key and a swag package, and get them settled
Run recurring team events: weekly board game nights and a monthly social outing (escape rooms and similar)
Plan and run company offsites
New office launches:
Travel to help set up new offices in other cities (for example Seattle or Toronto) for their initial launch
You are organized and outgoing. You take pride in running an office space and taking care of the people in it, and you stay on top of the small things other people don't notice.
Must have:
Experience running an office or workplace at a startup or fast-growing company (office manager, workplace coordinator, or similar)
A logistics brain: you can run a move, juggle deliveries and setup, and keep track of many moving pieces without dropping any
Good with people: you excel at making people and new hires feel welcome
Based in San Francisco and able to work onsite five days a week, with occasional travel to help open new offices
Any of these would make you stand out:
You've managed an office move, buildout, and/or conference-room setup
Event planning experience, from weekly socials to company offsites
Familiarity with office and operations tools (Forkable, Brex, access/badging systems, or similar)
Competitive cash compensation
Ownership and autonomy in a fast moving startup environment
Lunch provided everyday onsite
Weekly snack orders
Skills Required
- Experience running an office or workplace at a startup or fast-growing company (office manager, workplace coordinator, or similar)
- Strong logistics and operations skills (coordinate moves, furniture, movers, floor layout, seating, AV setup)
- Excellent interpersonal and hospitality skills to welcome new hires and support employees
- Based in San Francisco and able to work onsite five days a week
- Ability and willingness to travel occasionally to set up new offices (e.g., Seattle, Toronto)

- Event planning experience (weekly socials, company offsites)
- Familiarity with office and operations tools (Forkable, Brex, access/badging systems, or similar)
What We Do
Preference Model is building automated ML research engineering and the next generation of training data to power the future of AI. They focus on creating high-quality reinforcement learning (RL) environments that reflect real-world complexity, featuring diverse tasks and robust reward functions. This effort aims to solve the bottleneck of brittle frontier models when applied to real-world ML research and engineering tasks.
