People Operations Coordinator / Office Manager

Viget is a digital agency that has been making software products and websites for clients since 1999. We’re a stable, independent small business, led by our two co-founders (who are brothers) and a nearly 75-person team of creative, collaborative, positive people who care about our vibrant company culture and healthy work/life balance. We work from four sweet offices (hybrid) and remote locations throughout the U.S., and utilize a proven cadence of virtual and in-person meetings and retreats to build comradery and stay connected. We love our team.

We are looking for a proactive, organized, and professional problem-solver to join the People Operations Team at our Falls Church, VA headquarters.

• Get things done. You’re organized and detail-oriented. You find satisfaction in juggling recurring daily tasks with ongoing projects.

• Are trustworthy with confidential information, reliable in terms of deadlines, and dependable to your peers. You do what you say you’ll do.

• Are proactive – with confidence, optimism, and energy, you step up to challenges and solve problems before others even notice them.

• Are helpful and service-oriented by nature. You enjoy helping others whenever and however you can.

  • Organize and order team- and office-wide lunches.
  • Coordinate the content collection and editing of our internal weekly newsletter using a Google Doc template.
  • Configure the room and tech set-up for routine staff meetings.

  • Help host industry-related community events in our office
  • Respond to travel requests by doing research, getting approvals, and booking flights and hotels.
