You’ll combine financial rigor with strategic insight - ensuring the company scales with discipline, clarity and ambition

This will include (i) optimizing our network performance, (ii) driving revenue-management including dynamic pricing models and customer retention strategies and (iii) creating business models for new products and services
- Combine finance with physical design: This role will be responsible for the interplay of space design, new membership products and real estate underwriting.

Once we have the customers in our spaces, how do we manage revenue and price effectively to maximize lifetime value? We have the design, product and construction teams.

This is a tight-knit team so it’s crucial to engender deep trust and create space for mentorship
- Player-coach: The FP&A department at Industrious is composed of a (i) Strategic Finance team and (ii) Revenue Management team. This is a small, tip-of-the-spear team that is responsible for driving company-wide initiatives. You will be a player-coach that is personally responsible for meaningful projects
Our take
Industrious was founded in 2012 when its creators noticed that people often work d better in hotel lobbies and coffee shops than in traditional offices. This inspired the company to develop flexible workspaces that blend the casual environment of public spaces with the resources, security, and professionalism of an office setting.
Shared flexible workspaces are nothing new, but Industrious has successfully differentiated itself from larger competitors like WeWork by focusing on management contracts with landlords rather than leasing properties. The company has seen its revenue triple from 2019 to 2023 and recently took over WeWork's former headquarters in Manhattan.
As demand for smaller, flexible office spaces grows, Industrious is thriving. With partnerships like CBRE and its expansion into key markets, the company is ready to capitalize on the shifting trends in office space.
