About the role

We're looking for a Workplace Manager to own the heartbeat of our San Francisco Headquarters. You'll own end-to-end operations, level up the environment, and build the systems that help us scale. You'll report to the People and Culture Lead and work closely with IT, Finance, and leadership to keep operations running and the culture thriving.

This is a fully in-office role Monday-Friday based in San Francisco.

  • Partner with the IT/Security team to ensure office-facing systems (A/V, conference rooms, access workflows) function reliably.
  • Own and manage the workplace and facilities budget, including tracking spend, processing invoices, and flagging variances.
  • Serve as the office point of contact for health, safety, and emergency preparedness - including fire warden coordination, first aid supply management, and compliance with local regulations.
  • Identify and implement process improvements that reduce friction and increase reliability.
Events
  • Support logistics for team onsites hosted in SF, including space setup, catering coordination, and on-the-ground execution.
  • Track budgets, contracts, and feedback to continuously improve quality and efficiency.
  • Support logistics and onsite execution for company offsites as needed.
Space and workplace logistics
  • Support new hire onboarding logistics, including workspace setup.
  • Maintain seating plans and manage desk moves, team reconfigurations, and workspace assignments.
  • Anticipate workspace and supply needs (desks, chairs, monitors, meeting rooms, shared supplies) and coordinate procurement.
  • Partner with the P&C lead to support office buildouts, expansions, and moves as needed.
  • Support sustainability and waste programs (composting, recycling, and any ESG-related office initiatives), coordinating with building management and vendors as needed.
Requirements
  • 3-5+ years of experience in office management, workplace operations, facilities coordination, or a related role.
  • Familiarity navigating the requirements of a Union building.
  • Strong vendor management skills, including working through issues quickly and professionally.
  • Excellent organizational habits and follow-through, with comfort juggling multiple requests at once.
  • Experience bringing people together and creating space for culture in a rapidly changing environment.
  • High attention to detail and pride in running a tight, welcoming office.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.
  • Calm under pressure, adaptable, and proactive about solving problems before they escalate.
  • Availability and interest in being onsite in our San Francisco HQ five days a week.
  • Availability to accommodate early or late hours as needed for events and onsite coordination.
