We’re looking for an organized, resourceful and highly proactive Workplace Operations Manager to own the employee experience of our Los Angeles offices. 

You’ll be the hands-on leader of our LA workplace: running day-to-day office operations, the vendors and services that keep things moving, and the programs that make it a place people want to be. You’ll bring structure to a fast-moving environment, anticipate what employees and teams need, and build the systems and standards that let our LA workplace scale as we grow. 

This is a role for someone who’s just as comfortable shaping the long-term strategy for our LA workplace as they are restocking the cups in the kitchen. No task is beneath you, and no problem is too big. 

You’ll coordinate across internal teams and external partners to keep services reliable, spaces well run, and stakeholders aligned. In addition to daily operations, you’ll take ownership of operational initiatives that improve the workplace, such as launching new service programs, tightening vendor processes, or improving how information and documentation are managed. 

• →5–7 years of experience in workplace, office management, facilities, operations, or a related field 
• →Experience managing vendors and service contracts, and owning a budget 
• →Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail 
• →Strong project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously 
• →A hands-on, no-task-too-small attitude, with the strategic judgment to know which problems deserve a system and which just need doing 
• →Ability to work independently, identify what needs to be done, and move work forward without extensive direction 
• →A service-oriented, hospitality mindset and a genuine interest in the employee experience 
• →Comfortable building structure in ambiguous, fast-paced environments 
• →Excellent written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical teams 
• →Comfort learning and administering new operational tools and systems 
• →Curious, resourceful, and proactive; you enjoy figuring things out and improving the way things are done 

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch while you're working onsite, fully-stocked kitchen, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses
• Team Growth: 500+ employees and counting across 5 global offices

The stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits. If your compensation requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
