The Role

Rackner is hiring a Junior Operations Specialist to support internal operations as we continue to grow.

This is a hands-on, in-office role focused on execution—supporting office operations, onboarding logistics, and core business processes that keep the company running smoothly.

You’ll work closely with the operations team on a set of recurring responsibilities, along with additional support tasks as needed. This role is best suited for someone who is organized, dependable, and follows through.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support a range of operational tasks across the business:

Office Operations

• Manage incoming and outgoing mail and deliveries
• Keep the office organized and running smoothly
• Coordinate basic office needs (supplies, setup, logistics)

IT Equipment & Logistics

• Ship laptops and equipment to new hires
• Coordinate returns from offboarding employees
• Track inventory and maintain accurate records

Onboarding Support

• Help prepare new hires for day one (equipment, access, coordination)
• Support onboarding checklists and internal tracking

Client Reporting Support

• Help coordinate the Rackner Fellowship (internship) program
• Support scheduling, logistics, and day-to-day needs

Operations & Administrative Support

• Execute tasks from the Operations Board in Monday.com
• Assist with invoicing support and basic data tracking
• Help maintain internal documentation and file organization
• Support occasional event logistics and travel coordination

Marketing Support (Light)

• Assist with drafting and scheduling LinkedIn posts or blog content as needed

What Success Looks Like

• Work is completed accurately and on time without frequent follow-up
• Onboarding, equipment logistics, and office coordination run smoothly
• Client-facing documents are clear, well-formatted, and accurate
• Day-to-day operational tasks stay organized and on track
• Issues are identified early and communicated clearly

What We’re Looking For

• 0–3 years of experience in operations, administration, or coordination
• Strong organization and attention to detail
• Comfortable working in-person and handling logistical tasks
• Able to manage assigned responsibilities and follow through reliably
• Able to clearly communicate and format information in documents and email
• Familiarity with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
• Able to work full-time in-office (College Park, MD)

Nice to Have

• Exposure to federal contracting or regulated environments
• Experience with tools like Monday.com (or similar)
• Experience with onboarding logistics or equipment tracking
• Familiarity with invoicing or basic financial processes
• Light experience with social media or content coordination

Who This Role Is a Good Fit For

• Someone who wants exposure to how operations work inside a growing company
• Someone who prefers structured, tangible work with clear ownership
• Someone who takes pride in being dependable and keeping things organized

Who This Role May Not Be a Fit For

• Candidates looking for a primarily remote role
• Candidates focused on strategy, program management, or leadership positions
• Candidates who prefer loosely structured work without routine responsibilities
