About On Deck

On Deck is a global community where ambitious, talented people start and scale companies and invest in their careers, among a cohort of their peers. Please see here for more information about our supporters and investors as well as our wall of love.

Role Overview

You will be a part of the ODX Admissions Team that operationalizes, automates, and creates internal resources related to the founder application process. You will play a key role in working cross-functionally with ODX Partners, the growth & expansion teams, alumni, and community fund LPs to set up a world-class outbound motion to back amazing founders. You will analyze large amounts of application data to help our screeners and interviewers learn from the feedback loops on investment decisions.

What you'll do:

* Own and improve our centralized admission processes to ensure our team conducts diligence on thousands of inbound candidates with care and maintains our 48 hour SLA from interview to offer.
* Work cross-functionally with ODX Partners, the growth & expansion teams, alumni, community fund LPs, and more to set up a world-class outbound motion to find and back amazing talent before anyone else does.
* Build automation, infrastructure, and processes within our no-code stack -- we'll help you learn if you aren't familiar.
* Create documentation and playbooks to onboard and support internal stakeholders (associates, investors, partners) and external stakeholders (Flexport, visiting partners, etc.).
* Analyze large amounts of application data to help our screeners and interviewers learn from the feedback loops on investment decisions.
* Screen applications and interview candidates as needed. To build an amazing system, you need to operate within it.

Who you are:

* Strong problem-solving skills and comfortable with ambiguity. You'll often need to write the playbook, rather than follow an existing one. Helpful if you have experience taking projects from 0 to 1 with little to no guidance.
* Meticulously detail-oriented and organized. You are able to juggle many priorities without dropping any balls.
* Strong communication skills -- verbal, written, and presentation. You need to be able to get buy-in from internal and external stakeholders to move quickly.
* High output, execution, and hustle.
* Thrives in a fast-paced, often scrappy, sometimes chaotic environment.

What might excite you about us:

* We're tackling a big problem with even bigger potential. Participants in our existing Fellowships say great things about us.
* You'll be able to work remotely and (mostly) set your own schedule. On Deck was a remote-first team even before COVID, so we know what makes for a great remote environment.
* You'll have a lot of flexibility in your role, and will be able to help define what our operations infrastructure looks like going forward.
* We're backed by a who's who of the biggest names in the venture investing world, including Village Global, Founders Fund, and the CEOs of companies like Zoom, Carta, Flexport, and Opendoor. (Read more about our Series A in this memo)

Why you might *not* be excited about us:

* We are still a fairly young company with about 200 people, so if you like more established companies, this role isn't for you. You'll help create our company's culture.
* We're an early-stage startup. Projects and priorities are likely to shift.
* Everyone on the team is extremely mission-driven, and works incredibly hard to push towards our lofty ambitions. Most people won't be cut out for it.
* You should be comfortable with ambiguity just a dash of chaos. This is not the kind of job where you show up and we tell you exactly what to do every day.
* On Deck is an unabashedly pro-startup, pro-tech organization. If that's not your thing, this isn't the place for you.
