About the role

The Facilities Manager will ensure Rowan’s office footprints and flexible workspaces run smoothly while building the foundation for our office architecture as we scale. This role is ideal for a proactive, hands-on professional with prior experience in high-growth startup environments. You will own day-to-day office operations, vendor relationships, space planning, technology coordination, and asset management across Rowan’s offices in Denver (HQ), Seattle, and other emerging areas. The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, a strong communicator, and comfortable driving business outcomes in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Requirements
