The Job

The Self-Investigation is seeking an Operations Coordinator to join our fully remote global team of 7 (plus a network of regular collaborators) for 8 months with the possibility of extension. As a lean, international organization, our day-to-day efficiency relies on smooth administrative processes, secure digital tools, and clear internal tracking.

In this role, you will ensure that our ongoing project workflows, contractor invoices, digital platforms, and upcoming event logistics run seamlessly. You will collaborate closely with various team members to keep our daily machinery moving so we can continue delivering impactful support to professionals worldwide.

As a fully remote, global team, we value flexible hours and a friendly, collaborative environment. We strongly protect everyone’s digital disconnection time and have policies in place to support our team’s wellbeing. We usually work in English and Spanish.

The Candidate

The successful candidate will support the team by running daily operations, administrative logistics, and invoice tracking. The right person for this role is someone who loves organization, processes, enjoys keeping systems and digital tools running smoothly, and is completely comfortable managing spreadsheets and tracking project numbers.

We are looking for a proactive self-starter who isn’t afraid to dive into technical tools (like WordPress or Mailchimp) and can independently follow up on pending tasks with a distributed team. Experience in international environments and a passion for wellbeing and mental health are a huge plus.

We actively recruit and encourage applications from individuals from historically underrepresented communities in technology and journalism, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, women, people of color and/or from underrepresented cultural communities, and people with disabilities.

If you think you might be a good fit but are not sure your experience is fully aligned with this job description, please consider applying.
