Location: We are looking to hire this person in Vancouver, BC (fully remote).

*Jungle Scout is a remote-first company with hubs in Austin, Vancouver and Chicago. This role is based in Vancouver to help with local events and hub management, but it’s still remote.

• Project Management: There’s always something fun and exciting to work on at Jungle Scout! You’ll play a key role in managing projects, from creating a plan of action to ensuring it’s being executed on.  
• Knowledge Management: Ensuring Jungle Scouters have access to the information they need in a way that’s exciting & digestible is a critical part of this role. You’ll manage our internal wiki and support internal communications so that we’re delivering this information to team members. 
• Documentation & Compliance: As a rapidly scaling team, documentation and compliance are indispensable to our success. You’ll ensure thorough documentation is created for all team member lifecycle events and that our team member records are organized and optimized.
• People & Culture Team Member: You’ll partner with People & Culture team members to drive company initiatives forward, like planning virtual/ in-person events and managing ad hoc People projects as needed.

You seek out opportunities to automate & streamline, making our systems and processes the most efficient they can be. 
• Organized Multitasker & Context Shifter. You are known for your exceptional time management skills with how you effortlessly juggle a variety of projects and tasks at any given time!
