Operations & Office Manager

Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction primarily software-defined and work towards a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labor.

We're a small team of mostly engineers (coming from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson and Shopify) that is looking to expand the non-engineering part of our business.

We're still in the first days of building the company and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth, high ambition startup environment. From Day 1, you'll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

You can read a bit more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, learn more about our vision and about the company.

About you and this role

We are looking for an Operations / Office Manager to join our team, bringing robots and automation to the construction industry, to create affordable, high quality housing for everyone.

You will be joining a ~15 person team and helping us with our fast expansion plans for 2024 and on. The ideal candidate is interested in or has already worked at an early-stage and high-growth company and understands the pace in which things move. You'd be able to wear multiple hats in a day and pitch in where needed with a no-task-is-too-small mentality. This could be anything from helping to source and hire candidates, setting-up our new, even more awesome, office space or organising a team event. You will be supporting the Head of Operations in this role. Your day-to-day will be very diverse but some examples of things you will work on are:

What you'll be working on

• Kitting out new office space from scratch; from interior design to supplier management

• Running new and current office processes. e.g. creating and implementing processes for package and inventory management

• Invoice and expense management; chasing suppliers and team members for complete invoicing and providing monthly for our accountant

• Support with recruitment of our expanding team. Actively sourcing candidates and managing the candidate pipelines and scheduling interviews for the team

• Organise team on and off sites and quarterly team events

• Help support our construction projects; this could be anything from people and vehicle logistics to delivering a spare part to a construction site

• Onboarding new employees and helping relocate new hires

• Occasionally helping with calendaring and scheduling tasks

What we're looking for

• A quick-learner who is willing to jump head-first into projects

• Comfortable multi-tasking within a day

• Excellent organizational and communication skills with great attention to detail

• Experience with tools such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Notion and keeping shared online resources as neatly organized as the office. Comfortable picking up new tools quickly (e.g. recruiting software)

• Proactive and dependable self-starter, with lots of drive and initiative to get things done

• Preferably Dutch speaker, or come prepared to tell us how you would work around this

• Fluent verbal and written English

• BSc or above preferred, 1 year work experience minimum

• Experience in start-up recruitment, operations or office management a bonus but not a necessity

Interested? Get in touch with us: iwanttojoin@monumental.co, and tell us a bit about the most interesting or difficult project you've worked on to date.

If you don't meet all the qualifications here but are excited about Monumental and feel you'd still be able to help us solve difficult problems, do get in touch. We are open to generalists with a demonstrated ability to focus on outcomes and get things done and are comfortable with you learning things as you go along.
