**About the Role:**

Youll do this by working closely with your own small but mighty team of hospitality experts as well as your peers who work on our physical and digital product, our architectural and interior design, our marketing and brand awareness, our IT and facilities infrastructure, and our frontline operations.

This role will require a breadth of skills. A single week might involve: visiting existing Industrious locations with a member of your team to observe how our members use the space, sitting down with our frontline leaders to determine the financial and operational implications of one of your teams latest customer experience initiatives; revising a manifesto of your vision for the Industrious customer experience of the future; coaching a team member on how to lead a vendor review process; synthesizing insights from our NPS survey responses; kicking off a project to rethink how we plan for and procure our locations food and beverage supplies. And more

Youll be successful in this role if you love both the iterative and the innovative pieces of customer experience - running a machine at scale to produce great results each time in a standardized way, but also opening the box to the hard questions that will ultimately create an even better experience for our members and a stronger set of business outcomes. You have an expert command of core hospitality and experience skills, have pattern recognition for the types of things that go right and wrong in networked hospitality businesses, care about customers needs, derive energy from initiating new systems and strategies for scale, intrinsically prioritize people and their development, enjoy leading through ambiguity, and are a low-ego, collaborative leader who is excited about working alongside smart, kind, humble, and goofy people to deliver a great day at work to tens of thousands of people.

**Youll love this role if:**

You can get into the mindset of a typical office user as well as a corporate decision maker. You understand people and through a few conversations can quickly identify what makes them tick.

You really sweat the details and notice everything around you, but know how to quickly prioritize your time without losing sight of the big picture.

Youre a sponge for new learnings and insights - you collect data points and stories in your mind. You make connections between them, and love digging into the deeper whys behind the surface level to get at a surprising finding

You like outlining a strategy and rallying teams around it just as much as you like spending time with customers and the frontline team.

You enjoy coaching people on soft service skills as much as teaching them how to manipulate data to uncover insights.

**This role isnt for you if:**

You love hospitality, but your passion is really for leisure experiences

You prefer to work from home most of the week.

Your energy really comes from personally delighting customers and solving their challenges (thats amazing but you wont be able to do this at scale).

You find work, workplace experience, or commercial real estate really boring

You thrive with a lot of structure and being guided on what exactly success looks like from the outset

You rely on others to provide the latest insights versus using our data and conversations to form your own insights and point of view.

**Responsibilities:**

Design a set of hospitality and experience standards that support your and Industrious vision for best in class customer experience at work; develop, implement, and iterate tools to deliver that experience consistently through our frontline teams

Proactively lead us into the future of customer experience, drawing from customer insights, your industry knowledge, the competitive landscape, and feedback from our teams and customers

Be a champion of our service culture, finding ways to continuously train, recognize, and reinforce behaviors across all teams that define our service approach.

Hire, coach, and lead an engaged team that sets the standard for our industry

Be an active contributor to a collaborative group of cross-functional leaders solving all sorts of the businesses toughest questions

**Perks:** In addition to our incredible team, there are lots of other fun reasons to work with us.

401K plan

Generous vacation time
