Workplace & Team Member Experience Manager, Sofar Ocean

• You have 3–5+ years of experience in office management, workplace operations, or a similar role — ideally in a startup or similarly fast-paced environment
• You're a natural problem-solver who investigates options and tries to resolve things independently before escalating
• You move fast and like being on your feet — sitting still all day isn't your style
• Details matter to you. If something is out of place, it bothers you. You fix it
• You're warm, outgoing, and people genuinely enjoy interacting with you — you're often the first face someone sees at Sofar, and you take that seriously
• You're creative with constraints. Budget isn't unlimited, and you're good at figuring out how to do more with less without it showing
• You're organized in the way that actually works — systems you build hold up over time, not just in the short term
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and don't need a lot of hand-holding to know what matters
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, this will be foundational to your success juggling various tasks (and people!) at Sofar
• We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed. Research consistently shows that underrepresented candidates are more likely to self-select out, and we don't want that. If this work sounds interesting to you, we want to hear from you

Desirable

• We're looking for a Workplace Manager who genuinely loves making a space, and the people within it, feel great!
• This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll be the person who notices the thing that's off before anyone else does, fixes it before anyone asks, and still has time to make the new hire feel welcome on their first day
• You'll own the physical office environment end-to-end: facilities, vendors, supplies, events, and the overall experience of being at Sofar
• We're a lean team, which means you'll operate with a lot of autonomy. We're not looking for someone who waits to be told what needs attention - we're looking for someone who's already three steps ahead!
• Own the day-to-day operations of our SF office — from facilities and vendors to supplies, maintenance, and general upkeep
• Be the first point of contact for anything office-related, and solve most of it yourself before it becomes someone else's problem
• Manage vendor relationships and negotiate contracts with an eye toward getting the most out of a lean budget
• Keep the office stocked, organized, and genuinely pleasant to be in — you'll set the standard and maintain it
• Coordinate logistics for onsite visitors, guests, and company events
• Support onboarding logistics so new hires walk in on day one to a space that's ready for them
• Partner with the People team on office-related aspects of the employee experience
• Proactively identify what's not working and build better processes to fix it — not just once, but durably
• This is a fully onsite role. Our office is where the work happens, and we need someone who's there consistently and reliably from 8am to 5pm
