Job Description

The market moment

The way the world accounts for, trades, and acts on environmental impact is being rebuilt from the ground up — and Patch is the platform scaling unified climate action at the center of it.

We move hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the world's most credible climate and environmental projects. Our platform connects Fortune 500 sustainability commitments to the projects and commodities that fulfill them: carbon removal, nature-based solutions, sustainable aviation fuel, renewable energy certificates, and more.

Think Bloomberg for environmental markets. Think Stripe for climate finance. That's the category we're building.

If you've been watching AI-native companies redefine how markets work and want to do the same thing in climate — Patch is that bet. Our enterprise customers are receiving value in cost savings, risk mitigation, and program effectiveness. There are more use cases to build and more customers to earn, plus the equity story still has its best chapters ahead.

Why this role, why now

Environmental markets are being built in real time, and so is Patch. We're at the stage where the platform is proven, customer demand is accelerating, and the people infrastructure that makes everything run needs to scale with it.

As our Operations Associate , you'll report directly to the VP of Operations and sit at the intersection of People, Recruiting, and Corporate Operations. Your primary focus is making sure the internal machine runs well: that new hires land smoothly, that recruiting moves fast, that the SF office feels intentional, and that the cross-functional logistics holding the company together don't fall through the cracks. It's a role for someone who thrives on variety, takes initiative without waiting to be asked, and cares deeply about the quality of every touchpoint, whether that's a candidate's first interaction with Patch or the way an All Hands comes together.

What you’ll tackle

• Drive recruiting coordination: Keep hiring moving by managing interview scheduling, ATS hygiene, candidate communications, and cross-functional coordination across active searches. You'll be the connective tissue between candidates, hiring managers, and the broader People team, making sure every stage of the funnel runs on time and leaves a strong impression.

• Own the SF office experience: Manage vendors, supplies, and the day-to-day details that make our office a place people genuinely want to be. You understand that culture is built in physical spaces as much as anywhere else, and you treat the office like a product worth caring about.

• Power People Operations: Own the mechanics that make the employee lifecycle run: onboarding and offboarding coordination, HRIS data accuracy, benefits administration support, and the day-to-day processes that keep the People team moving. You'll use AI to build reliable, repeatable workflows so nothing slips and no new hire feels dropped.

• Scale Corporate Operations: Partner with Leadership to run and scale Corporate Operations, including All Hands, company offsites, internal communications, and more.

• Support Delivery Operations: As you build context on how Patch's customer-facing operations work, there's potential to take on select workflow support with the Delivery team. This is not the primary focus of the role today, but it's a natural expansion for the right person who wants broader operational exposure.

What makes you a great match

• You have 4+ years of professional experience in a fast-paced environment, or a master's degree, and you've operated in settings where speed and rigor both matter

• You're highly organized with sharp attention to detail and a consistent track record of following through on execution-heavy work

• You're a resourceful self-starter who identifies what needs to happen and makes it happen without being asked

• You communicate clearly and build trust across functions; you know that getting things done means bringing people with you

• You're energized by variety and comfortable context-switching between strategic projects and hands-on logistics

• You want to be in the office every day, because you understand that an intentional in-person culture is something you help create

• You have a genuine interest in Patch's mission and care about the work we're doing in climate

What you’ll get

• A mission-obsessed crew building with speed and sky-high standards

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Onsite culture in San Francisco with annual global offsites for strategy and team bonding

• Unlimited vacation and generous parental leave

• Monthly wellness stipend (mental and physical)

If shaping the story of climate action—while using AI as a force multiplier—sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to meet you.

Let’s rebalance the planet together.
