Company
Sixone is at the forefront of revolutionizing the advanced recycling industry with our mission to integrate circular recycling for blended plastics to eliminate landfill waste. Sixone’s cutting-edge technologies leverage reaction engineering and advanced analytics to enable high-efficiency recycling processes. Our goal is ambitious yet simple: to radically enhance the economics of recycled materials through innovative processing and materials technologies.
We are looking for a proactive Operations Coordinator to keep our operations running smoothly and help teams and leadership move faster. You will coordinate cross-functional initiatives, maintain the reports and trackers that keep projects on course, and document the processes that keep the business running efficiently. Workplace and administrative logistics are part of the role, but operational support is the core of it. This execution-focused role suits a highly organized person who likes making operations run well.
About You
We care as much about how you work as what you know. The person who thrives in this role:
Takes ownership. You treat the details as yours to get right, follow through without being chased, and close loops instead of leaving them open.
Has a bias for action. You would rather start, learn, and adjust than wait for perfect certainty, and you know when to check in before moving.
Defaults to service. You enjoy making others' work easier and take pride in being the person the team can rely on.
Sweats the details without losing the big picture. You catch the small things others miss while keeping sight of why the work matters.
Stays humble and curious. You ask questions, own what you don't know yet, and treat every task, however small, as worth doing well.

What We're Looking For
Our team lives by a set of values, and we are looking for someone whose way of working reflects them:
Challenge Ideas Constructively - comfortable asking questions, flagging when something is not working, and respectfully suggesting better ways of doing things rather than just accepting the status quo
Data Driven Action - grounds work in facts and accurate information; keeps clean records and trackers, and brings evidence rather than guesswork when surfacing issues
Embrace Planned Risks - willing to try new approaches and propose improvements to how things run, thinking through the trade-offs before acting
Constant Learning - curious and eager to grow, picks up new tools and processes quickly, and treats feedback as a way to get better
Trust but Validate - takes ownership and works independently, while double-checking details and verifying accuracy before things go out the door
