Office Administrative Assistant
AlgaeCal, Canada

Would you like to thrive in one of the happiest offices in North America? They’re a tight-knit group of empaths, entrepreneurs, and health advocates. They’re Yoda-smart. They love what they do. And they’re using their genius to make the world a better place. If you’ve got the chops this isn’t just another job it’s a mission!

How will you help? Like a DJ sets the tone for a hopping party - you’ll be setting the tone for our office. You’ll help support some of the most generous, caring, team-minded folks you’ll ever meet. And they’ll love you for it! They’ll appreciate your hard work. They’ll feast with you on Wednesdays amp; Fridays (yeah, we do that), and they’ll genuinely enjoy your company.

About Us

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. It’s a big mission. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have fragile bones. And they’re scared. Scared of snapping a bone. Scared of being forced to quit their favorite hobbies. And worst of all, scared of losing their independence.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We help thousands of people say goodbye to fear, fracture, and frailty. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

About You

If you can handle a million things at once but always know which one to tackle first - you’ll crush it in this role. You’ll be the go-to-person for...well...everything in our busy office. You may be negotiating with suppliers one day and coordinating team events the next. You’ll be keeping track of company assets - ensuring your teammates have the right equipment, in the right place, at the right time. All while keeping a watchful eye over EVERY aspect of our office.

In other words - we’re going to rely on you to keep our office running smoothly. As our organizer-in-chief, you’ll empower us to help thousands of people say goodbye to the fear of bone loss.

Here’s a few of the things you’ll be doing in this busy role:

• You’ll keep an accurate inventory of office, packing, and kitchen supplies.
• You’ll channel your inner interior-designer to ensure the layout of our office is effective and comfortable.
• You’ll always be on the lookout for ways to reduce the cost of our supplies.
• You’ll make sure your co-workers have top-tier, mostly Mac, equipment.
• You’ll assist in setting our office budget and make sure departments stick to it.
• You’ll help organize lunches, team-building events, many birthday cakes and be a great resource to our amazing People and Culture team.
• If anything breaks - you’ll arrange to have it repaired.
• Using your Jedi-level powers of anticipation, you’ll spot problems before they even happen and develop solutions.
• Sometimes you’ll have to roll up your sleeves and help keep our office neat-n-tidy (But don’t worry, lots of people muck in to help.)

With these tasks in mind you will need to be a great organizer, solid with spreadsheets, a master communicator and love serving a team of soon-to-be friends. You’ll also occasionally have to move a few items or assemble a desk. Now is the time to be very honest with yourself. Is this really you?

Other Qualities You’ll Need

At AlgaeCal we’re going to insist that you have these 3 qualities:

• You’re humble--you put the team and others’ needs ahead of your own
• You’re hungry to learn more
• You’re people smart--in the sense that you’re a great teammate

The reality is, these qualities are integral to our team at AlgaeCal. If you feel you might not align with one or more of them, it's okay. We encourage you to find a position that truly resonates with your strengths and values. It's all about the right fit for both of us.
