About 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 offsites, and own the philosophy of why the office is the way it needs to be.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- Own the philosophy and own the company. 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
- You have only worked at companies where the office "just works" - we are building the systems, which is messy
- You need a fixed job description that does not change - this role keeps expanding as we grow into a multi-city operation
- You cannot be in the SF office full-time - the office manager has to embody the in-person culture
