WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Your mission is to help keep Reframe's office and teams running smoothly so everyone can focus on building homes. We are seeking a Business Operations Associate Co-op to join our Business Operations team on-site at FAB1, our new microfactory in Billerica, MA. Working closely with the Head of Business Operations, you'll contribute to Business Operations projects, support day-to-day office operations, help build our culture through our social program, help our Project Execution and factory teams get the supplies and logistics they need, and pitch in on admin support for the executive team. You'll see how a fast-growing climate tech company runs behind the scenes and take on more responsibility as you learn. If you're organized, proactive, eager to learn how startups work, and excited to work at a mission-driven, climate-conscious company, this is a great place to start.
