Office Manager
Mission
TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.
We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.
We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.
Leave your mark on the future of civilization-scale energy infrastructure.
Company
TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure. (TAR is working directly with one of the largest compute providers to scale and deploy 5GWs by 2028)
We operate on…
High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.
Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We push ourselves to go faster.
First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.
Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future.
About the role
As an extension of the founders, you work on the hardest challenges in the business alongside them and make sure nothing operational slows the team down. This job is part operations, part people wrangling. You are the high-agency generalist who turns ambiguous, low-structure problems into successful outcomes, standing up a new function from zero, unblocking an engineer, or firefighting a last-minute problem. There is no playbook and no hand-holding.
Responsibilities
Keep the office and lab running: if something's broken, missing, or in the way, you fix it or find who can
Get new hires set up: laptop, accounts, desk, badge, and someone to eat lunch with on day one
Deal with our IT, coordinate machines, laptops, wifi, software and prototypes
Receive and track a lot of deliveries. Robot parts show up frequently. You'll know where everything is
Plan team lunches, dinners, offsites, and team events
Handle vendors, supplies, snacks, and the landlord
Help leadership with scheduling and whatever admin comes up
Keep the lab safe and organized as we grow
Qualifications
You’re comfortable handling and managing an office environment, ideally at scrappy startups
You're the kind of person who notices problems before anyone else does
Comfortable with Slack, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, basic IT infrastructure and you pick up new tools fast
Fine with getting your hands dirty: unboxing shipments, rearranging furniture, coordinating deliveries
In SF and able to be on-site
Nice to have
Experience operating in or around a hardware, robotics, or deep-tech startup.
A track record of standing up new functions or processes from zero.
