Join Our Team
PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS ASSOCIATE
Luxury Lifestyle Consumer Brand Founded by Mandana Dayani | Los Angeles
ABOUT
Founded by Mandana Dayani, we are building a luxury consumer brand grounded in heritage and executed with a modern, fashion-informed point of view. We are looking for an exceptional Operations & Project Management Associate to help build it from the ground up.
This is a highly hands-on role working directly with the founder and the whole team across product, hiring, brand, and launch. You will be in the details, helping turn ideas into reality and bringing structure to a fast-moving environment. This is not a typical project management or operations role. It is an opportunity to learn how a brand is built at the highest level from concept through launch and beyond, and be part of building a category-defining global brand from the very beginning, working directly with a founder who has built and scaled globally recognized brands across media, fashion, and technology.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own and maintain all project timelines across product development, creative, and launch
Drive organization across workflows, files, assets, and communication
Coordinate with designers, factories, and production partners, ensuring timelines and quality are met
Manage creative pipeline (campaigns, website, content, launches) from brief through execution
Track details obsessively: feedback, revisions, deliverables, and deadlines
Support hiring: sourcing candidates, managing pipelines, coordinating interviews, and onboarding
Keep internal operations tight: meetings, notes, follow-ups, and execution
Support investor materials, data room, and communications
Manage budgets, expenses, invoices, and operational logistics
Help ensure nothing falls through the cracks - ever
Support weekly Substack cadence and publishing, track KPIs, monitor ad spend and performance
Manage social calendar, asset collection, and posting
Prepare briefs for shoots, engagements, and content captures
No task is too small - from managing critical timelines to handling day-to-day needs like ordering samples, coordinating logistics, or making sure the team is taken care of.

3–6+ years of experience in project management, operations, or a fast-paced environment
