Office Assistant

WANTED! The World's Most Dependable In\-Person Office Assistant (Tempe, AZ) When you apply, please make sure the subject line is: "I actually read the instructions." We're Genius Network — the high\-level entrepreneurial network, founded by Joe Polish. Our members are serious entrepreneurs doing serious work, and behind the scenes, a small, sharp team keeps everything moving so they can focus on what matters most. We're headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, and we run lean. Everyone on this team wears more than one hat, cares about doing things right, and takes real pride in the details other people skip. If that sounds like your kind of place, keep reading. We need a new in\-person office assistant! This is a part\-time, on\-site role based out of our Tempe office. Some days you're packing and shipping orders. Other days you're deep in admin work — filing, data entry, keeping things organized. A couple times a month, you're on your feet helping set up an event. You won't be doing the exact same thing every day, and that's the point — this role rewards someone who likes variety and takes ownership of whatever's in front of them. Key Responsibilities Pack, label, and ship orders accurately, including post office runs Handle day\-to\-day administrative and computer\-based tasks Help set up and run events approximately once or twice a month Keep shipping and office areas organized and running smoothly Spot what needs to get done and take care of it without waiting to be asked Qualifications, Skills, and Experience A strong, dependable work ethic and real attention to detail Comfortable moving between physical tasks and computer work in the same day Ability to lift at least 30 pounds Willing to learn our shipping and admin systems — no specific software experience required Reliable and honest, even when nobody's watching Personality Profile While there's never just one "right way" to do this job, the people who thrive in this role tend to share a few traits in common. They're steady, detail\-oriented, and take pride in doing small things well. They don't need everything spelled out — they notice what needs to happen and go do it. They're comfortable with a schedule that has some routine and some variety, and they show up reliably because they said they would, not because someone's checking on them. What energizes top performers in this role: Concrete tasks with a clear finish line Being trusted to figure things out A predictable core schedule with occasional variety Being appreciated for the details other people miss Make Sure You're Comfortable With... In\-person only: This is not a remote position. You'll need to be reliably on\-site in Tempe during your working hours. Sixty\-day trial period: All offers start with a sixty\-day trial period to make sure we're the right fit for each other. If you're currently in a comfortable job, don't leave it until you're confident in your ability to perform this role. A flexible but real schedule: Hours generally run 8:00 AM–2:00 PM, but you'll need genuine flexibility around event days, which sometimes run longer or land on a weekend. Repetitive tasks: Shipping and admin work involves a fair amount of routine. If steady, repeatable tasks aren't for you, this role probably isn't either. Our Values Execution over ideas.Ideas are not the constraint here. Execution is. We value the person who does the thing over the person who describes the thing elegantly. We finish what we start. We make commitments binary. Firm and warm — always both. We do not choose between honesty and kindness. We deliver hard truths with genuine care. We hold standards without making people feel disposable. This is the operating standard for every member of the team, starting with leadership. Ownership without assignment.We do not wait to be told what to manage. We identify gaps and close them. We bring problems with recommended solutions. We own outcomes, not just activities. Generosity first. The community we have built is built on a generosity\-first ethos. We give before we ask. We lead with value. We bring our best to every member interaction and every team interaction. Structure and accountability exist to protect and amplify that — not to replace it. Truth early. Bad news does not age well. We surface problems before they become crises. We tell the founder, the team, and the members the truth — and we do it early enough to actually be useful. If you're the kind of person who brings energy and resourcefulness to the tasks in front of you, you'll fit right in.
