Workplace Experience Manager
About the role
This role is for a Workplace Experience Manager in San Francisco and New York. It is an individual contributor position.
Responsibilities
- Take over day-to-day office operations across both floors (vendors, food, supplies, cleaning, facilities) and keep them running without dropped balls.
- Own interview scheduling end-to-end across time zones.
- Get fluent in the ATS (Ashby/Greenhouse) with clean records and accurate stages.
- Step in as on-site host for guests, candidates, and execs.
- Map existing office and recruiting workflows and flag what's broken or ad-hoc.
- Become the primary contact for all vendors and building management (COIs, access, maintenance).
- Run the full candidate logistics experience — confirmations, prep, travel, day-of hosting — and keep loops moving (debriefs, feedback, stalled-pipeline flags).
- Partner with IT on provisioning, access systems, seating, and bulletproof interview rooms/AV.
- Start rebuilding the weak workflows you mapped and write SOPs.
- Support offer logistics and the handoff into onboarding.
- Lead vendor negotiations (bulk pricing, service optimization) and oversee office improvements and light build-outs.
- Build scalable systems that reduce friction as headcount grows, and anticipate future office and hiring needs.
- Own problems end-to-end and proactively surface what the office needs next.
