Operations Analyst

THE COMPANY YOU’LL JOIN

Garage powers the exchange of critical assets across essential industries. We started with fire departments, where purchasing mission-critical vehicles and equipment could take months of navigating outdated, opaque processes—and we’re continuing to expand that model to new industries. Our agentic platform automates the entire journey: discovery, payments, freight, warranty, and financing. What once took months now takes minutes.

In under a year, we’ve expanded to cities and towns in all 50 states and grown revenue more than 10x. Based in New York, we’ve raised $18M from Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and other leading investors. We’re moving fast, growing quickly, and just getting started.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Own operational initiatives and special projects — take initiative on projects that improve workflows, strengthen operations, and help the team scale.
• Maintain operational accuracy and visibility — update and manage trackers and internal systems to ensure deal status, documentation, and timelines are always current.
• Problem-solve and exercise judgment — identify issues, gather missing information, resolve straightforward requests efficiently, and escalate when needed to keep deals moving.
• Internal Collaboration — own the operational coordination between clients, Sales, Engineering, and other internal teams to ensure issues are resolved efficiently and accurately, while surfacing opportunities to improve the customer experience.
• Operate with speed and precision — manage multiple active transactions at once while maintaining high attention to detail in a fast-moving environment.
• Support users in navigating the product — help buyers and sellers understand how to use the Garage platform and complete required actions smoothly, and identify ways to improve the user experience.
