Your Adventure Begins Here

Via Logic is looking for a Business Operations and Talent Specialist to help grow our team of Explorers and support the people, programs, and day-to-day operations that keep our business moving forward. We're a growing government contracting company, and like many small businesses, our responsibilities don't always fit neatly into one department. One day, you might be sourcing candidates for a software engineering opportunity. The next, you could be helping coordinate employee onboarding, preparing customer invoices, researching a federal contracting opportunity, or organizing documentation for an upcoming proposal.

That's part of the adventure!

This position brings together talent acquisition, business operations, and company growth support. You'll work closely with leadership and teammates across the business, helping ensure our recruiting efforts, internal processes, and operational priorities stay organized and on track. And here's the thing: you don't need to be an expert in every area to be successful here. We know recruiting, finance, contracts, and business operations each come with their own learning curves. What matters is that you bring a solid foundation in one or more of these areas, along with the curiosity, resourcefulness, and willingness to jump in and learn something new. Whether you're an early-career professional ready to broaden your skills or someone with more experience who enjoys wearing multiple hats, we're looking for an Explorer who's excited to grow with us, contribute wherever they can make a difference, and help shape what's next for Via Logic.

How We Work

We're a small team with shared goals and responsibilities that sometimes cross functions. While you'll have recurring priorities, business needs may occasionally call for support in areas outside your usual day-to-day work.We value clear communication, ownership, curiosity, and early updates when something needs attention. You'll participate in regular team check-ins, keep your work visible, and help move priorities forward. We also recognize that no one knows everything. We appreciate people who are comfortable asking questions, learning from teammates, and taking initiative when something needs to get done. In-person collaboration is an important part of this role. You'll spend time at our Arlington-area coworking space, participate in leadership and team meetings, support company events, and help coordinate business activities that require an onsite presence. The frequency of these activities will vary, and flexibility to accommodate both planned and short-notice requests is essential. Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys being part of a team, takes pride in helping others succeed, and wants to contribute to the continued growth of Via Logic.
