Build a Career, Not Just Another Job
EZEmploy partners with businesses to simplify payroll, bookkeeping, human resources, compliance, workplace safety, and business operations. We work alongside business owners to help them grow their companies while remaining compliant with employment and workplace regulations.
We're looking for an Operations Assistant who is organized, dependable, eager to learn, and excited about becoming an important part of a growing business.
This is not simply an administrative assistant position. Our goal is to hire someone who wants to grow with our company and eventually become our Operations/HR Coordinator as EZEmploy continues to expand.
If you're someone who enjoys learning new skills, solving problems, working with technology, and helping businesses succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
Position Overview
The Operations Assistant will support the daily operations of EZEmploy with an initial emphasis on payroll administration, bookkeeping, client support, and business operations.
Initially, this position will average approximately 25 hours per week while training. As your knowledge, proficiency, and responsibilities grow, we anticipate the position expanding into a full-time career with additional responsibilities in operations, client management, and business development.
This is a position for someone looking to build a long-term career—not simply work a part-time job.
