Junior Operations Specialist

Rackner | College Park, MD (In-Person) | Full-Time

The Role

Rackner is hiring a Junior Operations Specialist to support internal operations as we continue to grow.

This is a hands-on, in-office role focused on execution—supporting office operations, onboarding logistics, and core business processes that keep the company running smoothly.

You’ll work closely with the operations team on a set of recurring responsibilities, along with additional support tasks as needed. This role is best suited for someone who is organized, dependable, and follows through.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support a range of operational tasks across the business:

Office Operations

  • Manage incoming and outgoing mail and deliveries
  • Keep the office organized and running smoothly
  • Coordinate basic office needs (supplies, setup, logistics)

IT Equipment & Logistics

  • Ship laptops and equipment to new hires
  • Coordinate returns from offboarding employees
  • Track inventory and maintain accurate records

Onboarding Support

  • Help prepare new hires for day one (equipment, access, coordination)
  • Support onboarding checklists and internal tracking

Client Reporting Support

  • Help coordinate the Rackner Fellowship (internship) program
  • Support scheduling, logistics, and day-to-day needs

Operations & Administrative Support

  • Execute tasks from the Operations Board in Monday.com
  • Assist with invoicing support and basic data tracking
  • Help maintain internal documentation and file organization
  • Support occasional event logistics and travel coordination

Marketing Support (Light)

  • Assist with drafting and scheduling LinkedIn posts or blog content as needed

What Success Looks Like

  • Work is completed accurately and on time without frequent follow-up
  • Onboarding, equipment logistics, and office coordination run smoothly
  • Client-facing documents are clear, well-formatted, and accurate
  • Day-to-day operational tasks stay organized and on track
  • Issues are identified early and communicated clearly

What We’re Looking For

  • 0–3 years of experience in operations, administration, or coordination
  • Strong organization and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in-person and handling logistical tasks
  • Able to manage assigned responsibilities and follow through reliably
  • Able to clearly communicate and format information in documents and email
  • Familiarity with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
  • Able to work full-time in-office (College Park, MD)

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to federal contracting or regulated environments
  • Experience with tools like Monday.com (or similar)
  • Experience with onboarding logistics or equipment tracking
  • Familiarity with invoicing or basic financial processes
  • Light experience with social media or content coordination

Who This Role Is a Good Fit For

  • Someone who wants exposure to how operations work inside a growing company
  • Someone who prefers structured, tangible work with clear ownership
  • Someone who takes pride in being dependable and keeping things organized

Who This Role May Not Be a Fit For

  • Candidates looking for a primarily remote role
  • Candidates focused on strategy, program management, or leadership positions
  • Candidates who prefer loosely structured work without routine responsibilities

Rackner is a software consultancy that builds cloud-native systems for startups, enterprises, and the public sector.

We focus on solving complex, real-world problems across:

  • Distributed systems
  • DevSecOps

Our work is outcome-driven and mission-aligned—we prioritize delivering real capability over producing documentation or code for its own sake.

You’ll support the internal operations that enable our teams to deliver—handling the coordination, logistics, and processes that keep the business running.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
