Operations Associate (Triage)
About the role
About Fresh Prints
Fresh Prints is a New York-based custom apparel startup. We work with talented student entrepreneurs and provide the working capital, training, and support they need to build businesses at their schools.
About the Role
We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytical, and highly organized Triage Associate to help review, understand, and route incoming requests across Fresh Prints. This role is a key support function that helps make sure inbound requests are clear, complete, and sent to the right team or handled through the correct workflow.
The Triage Associate works across both Art and Operations workflows. This means the role requires a strong overall understanding of how different teams operate, including Art, Sales, Operations, Admin, Tech, Finance, Production, and other support teams. The goal is not to master every team's work, but to understand enough of the full workflow to identify issues, ask the right questions, take the correct action, and prevent avoidable delays.
Why This Role Matters
Triage is one of the first checkpoints for many Art, Ops, Admin, and Sales workflows. A strong Triage Associate helps keep work moving smoothly by making sure requests are understood, completed when appropriate, or routed to the right team with the right context. This helps reduce delays, confusion, duplicate work, and operational issues across the company.
This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys solving problems, communicating clearly, working independently, and learning how different parts of a business connect.
