Your Mission

In this multi-disciplinary role, you will support LEAP’s day-to-day operations, ensuring the office runs smoothly, employees are supported, and finances remain organized. You will handle everything from admin logistics and basic HR processes (onboarding, record-keeping) to accounting tasks (accounts payable/receivable, expense tracking). If you thrive on variety and want to have a hand in almost every facet of a growing aerospace startup, this position is your perfect fit.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Streamline Administrative Workflows: Coordinate office supplies, manage vendor relationships (e.g., office equipment, travel booking), and handle general office upkeep to keep the team productive and comfortable
• Own HR Operations: Oversee onboarding and offboarding processes, maintain employee records (benefits, PTO, compliance documents), and assist the leadership team with recruiting logistics (scheduling interviews, drafting offer letters)
• Support Payroll and Accounting: Collaborate with the CFO to process payroll, track expenses, issue invoices, and maintain budget reports. Reconcile purchase orders, receipts, and payments to ensure accurate financial records
• Maintain Compliance: Manage required documentation for labor laws and other regulatory obligations in close coordination with leadership
• Facilitate Culture and Engagement: Plan small team events and morale boosters, coordinate internal communications, and be a go-to resource for employee questions about benefits and policies
• Collaborate with Leadership: Provide weekly and monthly updates on office spend, HR metrics, and administrative milestones

What You Bring to the Team

• 3 years of experience in office administration, human resources, and/or accounting, preferably in a fast-paced startup or SME environment
• Working knowledge of bookkeeping practices: accounts payable/receivable, invoice management, expense tracking, basic reporting. Comfortable using accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero)
• Familiarity with HR best practices: onboarding, employee record management, basic knowledge of labor laws in Colorado, and an interest in growing that skill set
• Exceptionally organized approach to tasks, capable of juggling multiple priorities (office requests, HR paperwork, accounting deadlines) without losing track
• Strong communication skills and a service-oriented mindset, able to interface smoothly with leadership, employees, and external vendors

Bonus Points

• Experience implementing or administering an HRIS (Human Resources Information System) or integrated ERP that includes finance modules
• Previous experience in aerospace, tech or manufacturing industries
• Ability to analyze basic financial statements (income statement, balance sheet) to support CFO with deeper insights
• Experience handling recruiting logistics, including job posting, candidate scheduling, and reference checks
• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, commerce, human resources, accounting, or a related field
