Modern Admin Weekly | Issue No.015
Hi — Liz here. 👋🏾
Happy long weekend to one & all. I'm writing today's letter from London because, yes, I've officially jumped across the Atlantic for the summer.
The job market felt a little quieter than usual this week, but sometimes that's exactly when the best curation happens.
Instead of six versions of the same startup role, today's edit spans everything from an AI-first software company to a YouTube creator building a food brand headed to Walmart.
As always, my goal isn't to send you the most jobs—it's to send you the ones worth talking about.
Let's get into it.
🔎 How We Curate
Every role featured in Modern Admin meets the following criteria:
🧑🏽💻 Flexibility First — remote and hybrid roles that reflect how modern teams operate
💰 Compensation Transparency — if a company knows their budget, so should you
🤝 Culture Check — we look beyond reviews to assess leadership, tone, and reputation
🗂 Role Integrity — titles should match scope (no inflated or misleading roles)
🗓️ Recency — we prioritize fresh opportunities (~2 weeks)
01. People Operations Generalist
OLIPOP
$90K-$100K + bonus
Remote (US) | Full-Time
Posted July 2 2026
If you're someone who genuinely enjoys the operational side of HR, OLIPOP continues to be one of my favorite companies to watch. This isn't a flashy strategic HR role—it's the engine room of People Operations, covering everything from payroll and benefits to HR systems, compliance, and process improvement. What stands out most is the company's thoughtful approach to culture and its emphasis on building scalable systems rather than simply maintaining them. For someone looking to deepen their HR operations expertise at a fast-growing consumer brand with a strong mission, this is well worth a look.
02. Executive Assistant
Avalara
$88K–$156K + bonus
Remote (US) | Full-Time
Posted June 29 2026
Supporting leaders across Technology, Product, and Strategy, this Executive Assistant role goes well beyond traditional executive support. You'll partner closely with Chiefs of Staff, help shape executive operating rhythms, and use AI to improve how work gets done across the business. For experienced operators who enjoy bringing structure to complexity, Avalara offers a chance to work at the intersection of executive partnership, strategy, and technology.
03. Workplace Experience Manager
Retool
$105K–$170K + equity
Hybrid (NY) | Full-Time
Posted June 29 2026
Workplace Experience has quietly become one of the most dynamic careers in operations. Retool's latest opening is a perfect example, combining employee experience, office operations, workplace strategy, hospitality, and project management into one highly cross-functional role. It's an ideal opportunity for someone who loves creating thoughtful employee experiences while partnering across People, IT, and leadership to build a workplace where people genuinely want to be.
04. Executive Assistant & Special Projects
COMMAND
Remote (US) | Full-Time
Posted July 1 2026
Some of the most interesting Executive Assistant roles today look a lot more like business operations than traditional administrative support. At COMMAND, you'll partner closely with the co-founders and Chief of Staff to drive firm-wide initiatives, manage shifting priorities, and keep high-impact projects moving inside a fast-growing strategic communications firm. While I'd always prefer to see a salary range listed, the scope of this role felt too compelling to leave out. If you're looking for a role that offers meaningful exposure to leadership, strategy, and operations, this one deserves a closer look.
05. People Business Partner, G&A
Owner
$155K–175K + pre-IPO equity
Remote (US & CAN) | Full-Time
Posted June 29 2026
People Business Partners are increasingly expected to operate like business leaders, and Owner makes that expectation explicit. Supporting Finance, Legal, Marketing, Talent, and Business Operations, this role combines organizational design, performance management, workforce planning, and leadership coaching with the pace of a high-growth startup. Owner even describes the position as operating "much like a Chief of Staff" for your business group, making it an especially compelling opportunity for experienced HR professionals looking to deepen their strategic influence.
06. Fractional Operations Manager
Gamesquare
Remote (US) | Fractional
Posted June 24 2026
Behind every successful creator brand is someone making sure the business actually runs. This fractional Operations Manager role supports Hungryboy, a fast-growing food brand built by YouTube creators with more than 6 million subscribers, overseeing everything from inventory planning and manufacturing to retail launches and fulfillment. It's a unique opportunity to build the operational backbone of a creator-led business as it expands into major retailers like Walmart.
A small thing I’ve been using lately

I’m not embarrassed to admit it wasn’t until my 30s that I introduced a sleep mask into my in-flight repertoire. And based on a quick scan of the seats around me this week, I wasn’t alone.
Eberjey has become synonymous with the softer side of life. So if you're planning an overnight flight, long train ride, or simply hoping to catch a little extra sleep this summer, I can't recommend this one enough. (affiliate link)
Until next time, stay modern.
— Your fellow admin
