Full Job Description
ABOUT TIN CAN Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect — without smartphones. We’re creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today’s digital world. We’re building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we’re currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it). As we scale up the team to support our mission, we’re ready to bring on an Office Administrator to help make it happen. THE ROLE We’re a ~30-person team looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Office Administrator to keep our workspace running smoothly day to day. You’ll own the practical side of office life — supplies, facilities, vendor relationships, and the small things that make a big difference to how the office feels. You’ll also play a supporting role on people-facing moments like new hire onboarding, candidate visits, and team event planning. This is a hands-on, in-office role well suited to someone who takes pride in keeping things organized and running well. You notice when the paper towels are running low before anyone has to ask. You bring the same care to coordinating a team happy hour as you do to managing a vendor renewal. You don’t need a lot of direction — you need context and trust, and you take it from there. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own all office supplies, snacks, and beverages — track inventory, place orders, and manage vendor relationships to keep things stocked without overspending - Manage incoming mail and packages: receive, sort, log, and route to the right people promptly - Supervise our daily cleaning staff — set expectations, handle scheduling, and be the point of contact for any issues - Do daily walkthroughs to keep common areas, bathrooms, and kitchens sparkling and guest-ready between cleanings (restocking, emptying trash, tidying shared spaces) - Own rela
