3-5 years in facilities management, property management, hospitality operations, or a related client-facing environment. Bachelor's Degree preferred but not required; equivalent hospitality or facilities experience valued equally. Valid driver's license required. IFMA (FMP/CFM) or BOMI certification is a plus.
A hospitality mindset first: genuine passion for creating a welcoming, high-touch workplace experience
Strong vendor management skills with the ability to hold partners accountable to service-level agreements
Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging with tenants, executives, and service teams alike
Working knowledge of building systems (HVAC, fire/life safety, electrical) at a conversational level; you understand the basics and know when to escalate
