Hello! Panic, Inc., a software developer for Mac, iPhone, and iPad is seeking an Office Manager at our 15-employee headquarters in Portland, OR. A rare, non-technical Panic job!

Candidate must already live in the Portland area, and be able to start immediately. Our office is located downtown, across from Powell’s Books. This is a full-time position.

Typical job duties include:

• Being on-site weekdays from 9 AM – 6 PM to answer / screen phone calls, take messages, and receive deliveries and visitors
  
• Answering general support emails, helping users get up and running, and forwarding technical questions when necessary
• Handling voicemails and, somehow, faxes
• Writing checks and paying bills immediately
• Coordinating occasional social and corporate events such as company dinners, talks, conferences
• Recording company meetings
• @answering non-technical queries via Twitter
• Responding to credit card disputes and refunds
• Following up with purchase orders for payment (accounts receivable)
• Providing price quotes for companies interested in volume purchases
• Maintaining office calendar (who’s in/out, any upcoming special events, birthdays)
• Scanning receipts and verifying purchase data
• Keeping the dishwasher sane
• Welcoming guests & making travel reservations
• Unexpected Cabel Tasks and miscellaneous errands

Technical knowledge beyond email and word processing is a definite plus, as is a sense of humor and easy-going attitude. We’d love someone who has a fondness for our products and technology in general. But being organized and reliable is critical.

In addition to base salary, Panic offers:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage after 90 days
• Bi-annual profit-sharing bonuses
• SEP IRA retirement plan contributions after first year
• Flexible vacation policy
• Reasonable, life-compatible hours
• Convenient central Downtown location
• Free TriMet passes and bike storage
• A very beautiful and inspiring office, we think

Candidates of every race, gender, nationality, age, and orientation are encouraged to apply.
