Nowadays is the first AI platform for planning corporate events. For example, our AI can contact venues by email and phone to get availability, deal with back-and-forth negotiations, and present the best options.

We’ve proudly planned events ranging from Amazon’s intimate executive dinners in New York, to Quantstamp’s product launch in Turkey, to Google’s offsite at Universal. Within the first 6 months of launching, Nowadays has experienced exponential growth, growing from $0 to $2M in booked revenue from customers including Amazon, Google, and Notion.

Nowadays’ leadership team is comprised of talented MIT software engineering graduates as well as prestigious backgrounds including Google, Meta, Amazon, Doordash, and McKinsey.

☀️ About Nowadays

We’re building the future of in-person connection—from intimate exec offsites to conference-scale company retreats.

Nowadays is the first AI-powered platform for planning corporate events. Our software handles everything from venue sourcing to vendor negotiations, making it dramatically easier and faster for teams to meet IRL.

We’ve planned events around the world for companies like Google, Amazon, and Quantstamp—and we’re just getting started.

Our mission is simple: make it easier for teams to create meaningful moments together.

👥 Who We Are

We’re a sister-founded team based in San Francisco. We move fast, care deeply, and genuinely enjoy working together—whether that’s running a complex offsite or hosting a Friendsgiving at the Nowadays house.

We believe the best teams:

• Take ownership
• Stay scrappy
• Celebrate wins (big and small)
• Enjoy building and hanging out together

Recent team moments include flying trapeze, steak-offs at home, hauling a Christmas tree to the office, post-launch spa days, and racing an Ironman Relay.

🎯 What This Role Is

This is a zero-to-one operations role.

You’ll take messy, fast-moving workflows and turn them into systems that are simple, teachable, and scalable—without losing the human care that defines Nowadays.

You’ll sit at the intersection of ops, product, engineering, and customers, helping the company move faster and cleaner as we scale.

💼 What You’ll Do

• Own multiple events end-to-end simultaneously, including all client communication
• Own and evolve the full ops lifecycle—from first request through post-event wrap
• Turn tribal knowledge into clear documentation, onboarding, and reusable templates
• Build scalable playbooks for running complex events and managing many in parallel
• Partner closely with engineering to translate ops pain points into product requirements
• Test, validate, and refine internal tools before and after launch
• Create and maintain internal onboarding resources for interns, new hires, and devs
• Serve as the point person for prioritizing urgent vs. non-urgent ops issues
• Improve internal and external communication—clearer, calmer, and more consistent
• Continuously identify what should be simplified, automated, or eliminated

🥇 What We’re Looking For

• Ability to juggle multiple workstreams and prioritize quickly
• Strong instinct for turning complexity into clarity
• Deep care for process without sacrificing momentum
• Comfort working across ops, product, engineering, sales, and clients
• Clear, thoughtful communication with strong judgment
• Enjoyment in building systems that others can run
• Desire to shape how a company operates—not just follow a playbook

✨ Bonus Points

• Startup zero-to-one experience
• Experience building SOPs, onboarding docs, or internal tools
• Strong intuition for customer experience and boundaries
• Comfort using AI or automation to replace manual work
• Ability to influence without formal authority
