Head of Places

The Role

We’re looking for someone who can keep our multiple offices running smoothly. This is not just moving boxes around or making a space look pretty, you need to roll up your sleeves and redline the lease, plan off-sites, and own the philosophy of why the office is the way it needs to be. What You'll Do

• Attack the day to day. Own the A/V, visitor flow, food, vendors, janitors, deliveries, that weird brown spot in the ceiling in the meeting room downstairs etc.
• But don’t let it pile up: delegate, automate, and streamline everything.
• You own all places. Not just SF, but NY and our future London office as well.
• Take the idea “we want to open Europe” all the way to completion with boots on the ground.
• Chief Fun Officer. Connect high level company goals to team-wide events. We don’t just have events for the fun of it, connect events back to accomplishments on the team big and small. Going to Costa Rica after hitting a major revenue milestone or celebrating a big rebrand launch with a field day to see our blimp.
• For the tasks that are repeatable and processized but still need physical labor or manual clicks, manage a porter (or in the future a team of porters) as well as a team of EAs.
• You aren’t here to follow rules, you’re here to take the general philosophy and derive the rules from it.
• Logistics. All-hands setup, offsites, customer dinners, recruiting events. Travel logistics, hotel blocks, or customer dinners. Make it feel Pylonic and organize things as if you’re organizing it for yourself.
• This is not a static role, flex into broader G&A as the company grows.

What You've Done

• 5+ years running offices for high-growth companies, with at least one office opening or major scale-up under your belt
• Hired and managed your own small team (porters, contractors, EAs)
• Been an IC who did everything yourself at one point and isn’t afraid to do the dirty work.

This Role Might NOT Be For You

• If you want a quiet seat doing snack orders and conference-room bookings - this is the operating spine of a growing company, not background work
• If you have only worked at companies where the office "just works" - we are building the systems, which is messy
• If you need a fixed job description that does not change - this role keeps expanding as we grow into a multi-city operation
• If you cannot be in the SF office full-time - the office manager has to embody the in-person culture

Benefits

• Fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Commuter benefits
• Parental leave
• 14 company holidays + unlimited PTO
• Annual offsite
• Lunch, dinner, and snacks at the office
• Fitness stipend
