Business Operations, HR & Marketing Associate
Business Operations, HR & Marketing Associate
Support the People, Communication, and Operating Backbone of 4MP
Hybrid · Allentown / Bethlehem, PA Area · Part-Time to Full-Time · Seed Stage
About 4MP
At 4MP, we are building a new technological foundation for precision manufacturing.
Our platform enables CNC machines to self-measure, self-correct, and continuously improve — transforming conventional machine tools into autonomous precision systems.
4MP is backed by a prestigious institutional investor and is fully funded at the Seed stage. We are now moving from early technical development into structured company building, hiring, operations, communications, documentation, and execution.
We are establishing our first facility in the Allentown / Bethlehem area. This facility will become the center of 4MP's operations, demonstrations, R&D testing, technology validation, and company growth.
The Mission
We are seeking a highly organized, proactive Business Operations, HR & Marketing Associate who can support the CEO and founding team across people, communication, documentation, administration, and early company operations.
This is not a narrow administrative role.
This is a flexible, high-trust role for someone who wants to grow with an ambitious technology startup and help build the internal systems, communication rhythms, and organizational foundation of the company.
The role will begin part-time, with the expectation that it may quickly evolve into a full-time position as the company grows.
Over time, this person may grow into a broader role in Marketing, HR, Business Operations, Executive Operations, or a combination of these areas depending on strengths, interests, and company needs.
What You Will Help Build
- 4MP's early HR and people operations support systems
- Recruiting coordination, candidate communication, interview scheduling, and onboarding support
- Internal documentation, templates, trackers, and administrative workflows
- Light marketing and communication support, including LinkedIn posts and company updates
- Presentation materials for investors, partners, candidates, and internal meetings
- Company documents, summaries, meeting notes, and executive follow-ups
- Administrative support for the CEO and founding team
- Office and facility coordination as 4MP establishes its first operational location
- A professional, organized, and scalable operating foundation for future growth
Role Nature: Founding Business Support & Growth Role
This is a founding-stage support role combining hands-on execution with exposure to strategic company building.
You will work closely with the CEO and founding team on a wide range of activities across HR, recruiting, marketing, communications, documentation, presentations, administration, and company operations.
You will help bring structure to a fast-moving environment where many systems are being created for the first time.
You should be comfortable with variety. One day may involve helping coordinate interviews and onboarding documents. Another day may involve preparing a LinkedIn post, organizing presentation materials, updating a company tracker, supporting a facility-related task, or helping prepare a document for investors, advisors, or partners.
This role is ideal for someone who is smart, trustworthy, organized, professional, and excited to grow into a larger role over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Support HR and recruiting activities, including scheduling interviews, organizing candidate information, preparing offer-related materials, and assisting with onboarding
- Help maintain organized company records, folders, templates, trackers, and documentation
- Assist with light marketing tasks, including LinkedIn content, company announcements, candidate-facing materials, and basic communication updates
- Support the CEO with presentations, documents, meeting preparation, follow-ups, and administrative execution
- Help prepare polished materials for investors, advisors, partners, candidates, and internal stakeholders
- Coordinate calendars, meetings, logistics, notes, and action items where needed
- Support early office and facility setup activities as the company grows in the Allentown / Bethlehem area
- Help build repeatable processes for recruiting, onboarding, communication, documentation, and administration
- Work across HR, marketing, operations, and executive support depending on company priorities
- Bring organization, professionalism, discretion, and follow-through to a fast-moving startup environment
Who You Are
You are organized, thoughtful, reliable, and comfortable working close to the center of a growing company.
You enjoy variety and do not need every task to fit into a rigid job description. You can take a loosely defined need, clarify what has to be done, and move it forward.
You are comfortable writing, organizing information, communicating professionally, and helping a team stay on track.
You may have experience in HR, marketing, administration, operations, recruiting, communications, executive support, or business coordination — but more importantly, you are eager to learn, grow, and take ownership.
You understand that in an early-stage company, the playbook is still being written. You are excited by that, not discouraged by it.
What We Require
- Bachelor's degree required
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
- Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion
- Comfort working directly with senior leadership and the CEO
- Ability to manage multiple small projects and priorities at once
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, LinkedIn, and basic business tools
- Ability to prepare clean, professional documents, presentations, summaries, and trackers
- Comfort working in a hybrid role with some time required in the Allentown / Bethlehem office
- Interest in joining a fast-moving startup where the role can evolve significantly over time
What Will Set You Apart
- MBA or graduate-level business education
- Experience in HR, recruiting coordination, onboarding, or people operations
- Experience supporting executives, founders, or senior leadership
- Experience with LinkedIn, company communications, marketing coordination, or content support
- Strong PowerPoint / presentation design and document formatting skills
- Experience in a startup, technology company, manufacturing company, or professional services environment
- Ability to write clearly and professionally for different audiences

Why This Role Matters
4MP is building a category-defining company, and that requires more than technology alone.
We need strong communication, organized hiring, clean documentation, professional materials, reliable follow-up, and thoughtful support around the CEO and founding team.
This role helps create the structure that allows the company to move faster, look more professional, communicate more clearly, and scale with discipline.
Your work will directly affect how we hire, communicate, organize, present ourselves, and support the growth of the company.
Why Join Now
This is the phase where the foundation is built.
You will join early, work closely with the CEO, and have direct exposure to how a high-growth technology company is formed from the ground up.
The role begins part-time, but the opportunity can grow quickly. As 4MP expands, this position may evolve into a full-time role in Marketing, HR, Business Operations, Executive Operations, or a broader company-building function.
Joining now means having the opportunity to grow with the company, shape your role over time, and become an important part of 4MP's operating foundation.
