Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in an environment where no two days look the same and you don’t mind rolling up your sleeves to pitch in wherever needed, you’ll fit right in
- You’re organized, proactive, and happy to lend a hand wherever it’s needed
- You have 1+ year experience in an office, admin, or customer service role or you’re just super motivated and ready to learn
- You’re a strong communicator who can work with different personalities and teams
- You love solving problems on the fly and figuring things out without much hand-holding
- You take pride in making sure things get done right and on time
- You are willing to understand startup life: priorities change fast, and you’re cool with that
- You’re tech-savvy with Google Workspace, email, and scheduling tools
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a hands-on, go-with-the-flow Office & Team Assistant to join our NYC office
- This is a junior role perfect for someone eager to break into the startup world, learn from an experienced team, and get exposure to all sides of the business
- You’ll be the person everyone counts on whether it’s keeping the office running smoothly, helping with a last-minute deck, or making sure the fridge is stocked before a big team visit
- Be the go-to helper for our NYC team supporting with scheduling, meeting prep, travel booking, and other day-to-day needs
- Jump in on general office upkeep: supplies, vendors, mail, deliveries, small tech fixes, and keeping the space looking sharp before & after meetings
- Assist with small research projects, internal communications, and event coordination
- Help organize team activities and culture moments with our People team (when needed)
- Handle occasional personal or “can you just…” requests from leadership - flexibility is key!
- Make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible - you’re here for all of it! From the little details, to the bigger projects
- Provide administrative support for key team members; managing schedules, scheduling meetings, and making travel arrangements when needed
- Act as a liaison between Owl's team members, clients, and external stakeholders
- Take charge of reports, presentations, and other documents as needed
- Maintain confidentiality and professionalism while keeping things fun and efficient
- Be the secret sauce behind a well-run life—help with the occasional personal task, appointment, or last-minute “can you just…” moment
Our take
Insurance fraud is an $80B problem annually for American consumers and Owl.co is looking to put a stop to it. The company’s claim monitoring platform is designed to help providers mitigate and prevent fraud, and therefore cut premiums and adjust expenses for insurance customers. The company is currently focused on weeding out ineligible disability and workers' compensation insurance claims.
Owl.co doesn’t use discriminatory data like age, gender, or zip codes in its monitoring procedure, instead connecting to relevant data via a zero-knowledge protocol. This means Owl.co’s solution hits two key trends developing fast in the insurance industry: privacy, and equity. With these set to be two major priorities in the years ahead, Owl.co is smart to position itself at the centre of these two conversations
With clients like the Toronto Stock Exchange, and members of the top 10 North American banks and insurers, Owl.co already commands a strong customer base for its services. If it can secure a reputation for unbiased monitoring, this is likely to only grow.
