About the Role:You're the person who makes a building feel alive. Not in a vague way, but in a real, every-single-day way. The tenants who grab coffee know your name. Property management calls you first when something goes sideways. The leasing team wants you on their tours because you make the space feel like somewhere people want to show up.
As a Senior Building Experience Manager, you own the full on-site experience for a large commercial asset. At the center of it is a revenue-generating meeting and event space where you run end-to-end: pipeline, sales, bookings, and on-the-day execution. It carries a real quarterly revenue target, and the rest of the building experience is built around it: community programming, amenity operations, lobby arrivals, building communications, and the team that delivers all of it. You're the single point of accountability for how this building feels to everyone who walks through its doors.
It's a general manager role with a hospitality soul. Part of your day will be coaching your team, part of it troubleshooting with vendors, part of it thinking three months ahead on programming and budgets. The variety isn't a side effect of the job. It is the job. But make no mistake about where the weight sits: selling and running the meeting center is the engine of this role.
The buildings that work best aren't just well-run. They're places tenants talk about, renew in, and bring clients to. That's what you're here to build.
