We’re a remote-first, mission-driven, registered non-profit, comprising around 50 highly-skilled and motivated professionals from all around the world! Our culture is built on trust, autonomy, and collaborative professionalism. We thrive in a fast-paced, distributed environment, where communication is clear, empathy is second nature, and each of us takes full ownership of our work. We work independently, but also collaborate easily when appropriate.

To do so, we are looking for an experienced builder, who enjoys continuously looking for the weakest links in our operational systems and proactively addresses these, by improving existing systems or building new ones from the ground up. In this role, you will build the scaffolding that enables continuing OET success. Your main purpose in  this role is to take ownership of OET's operational processes across the board. This includes ISO27001 management system, business compliance activities, organizational risk mitigation strategies, operational governance, vendor management processes, and cross-functional operational initiatives.

Strong written communication skills are particularly important, as much of our work happens asynchronously across multiple time zones. Accurate record-keeping and documentation are also required, as we are cloud-based, and our operations align with ISO standards.
