Kate User

I’m an operations and program specialist with a background spanning recruiting coordination, onboarding, people operations, and community and partnership programs across startups and mission-driven organizations.

My work has consistently sat at the intersection of people, process, and execution—helping distributed teams turn complex workflows into clear, structured systems that actually function in practice. I’m especially drawn to environments where there are multiple moving parts, shifting priorities, and a need for calm, organized execution behind the scenes.

Across my experience, I’ve supported end-to-end coordination of hiring and onboarding workflows, partner and community programs, and cross-functional operational initiatives. I’ve worked closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure alignment, communication clarity, and consistent delivery across projects and programs.

Core areas of experience include:

• Operations, program coordination, and workflow management in remote and distributed environments

• Onboarding, lifecycle coordination, and process documentation for internal teams and external participants

• Community, member, and partnership operations supporting engagement and program success

• Cross-functional stakeholder management across hiring, programs, and growth-related initiatives

• Systems thinking and operational improvement to increase visibility, consistency, and execution quality

I work well in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where ownership, communication, and follow-through matter more than hierarchy. I’m highly self-directed, quick to ramp, and comfortable managing multiple priorities across different workstreams simultaneously.

I’m currently looking for fully remote or remote-first opportunities in operations, program management, people operations, onboarding, community operations, or partnership-focused roles—especially within mission-driven, education, wellness, or impact-oriented organizations.
