Office Manager (Sunnyvale)
Athena Labs
Job Description
The Vibe We are a fast-paced Venture Capital firm based in a beautiful 5,000 sq. ft. office in the heart of San Francisco. We aren't your typical corporate suit-and-tie environment—we are at the intersection of tech, innovation, and community. We are looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented Office & Events Coordinator to be the heartbeat of our space.
If you love hospitality, tech culture, and making things happen, we want to meet you. The Role This is a dual-threat role. Half your time will be spent ensuring our office runs like a well-oiled machine; the other half will be spent designing and executing events—from intimate founder dinners to high-energy demo days and networking mixers.
Key Responsibilities: Office Experience: Own the first impression. Keep our 5,000 sq. ft. space looking sharp, manage vendor relationships (catering, snacks, supplies), and ensure our visiting founders and investors feel at home. Event Production: Lead the logistics for our in-office events.
This includes managing RSVPs, coordinating tech/AV setups, sourcing local catering, and being the point person on-site to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. Culture Champion: Bring a youthful, modern energy to the office. Help us brainstorm ways to make our physical space a hub for the SF tech community.
Operations Support: Assist the partners with light administrative tasks, scheduling for the office conference rooms, and greeting guests with a hospitality-first mindset. Who You Are High Energy & People-First: You genuinely enjoy meeting new people and have a no task too small attitude. Obsessively Detailed: You notice the small things—like whether the coffee is fresh or if the event signage is perfectly aligned.
Adaptable: You thrive in the controlled chaos of a startup-adjacent environment and can pivot quickly when plans change. Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with modern tools (Slack, G-Suite, Eventbrite/Luma) and capable of troubleshooting basic office tech. Experience: 3-5 years of experience in hospitality, event planning, or office coordination.
We value personality and potential over a long resume! Why Join Us? Direct exposure to the venture capital and startup ecosystem.
A vibrant, modern workspace in San Francisco. The opportunity to build a personal network within the world’s top tech hub. Next Steps Would you like me to refine this with a specific salary range or add a section about Kessai or your other incubation projects to show candidates the specific types of startups they’ll be interacting with?
