Overview

The Workplace Experience Coordinator is the heartbeat of the office. You will be the first person employees and visitors encounter each day, and the one they turn to when they need something done — whether that is a room set up, a supply ordered, a problem solved or simply a friendly face that makes the workplace feel welcoming. This is a hands-on, people-first role that blends front-of-house hospitality with day-to-day office coordination. You will work closely with the wider facilities and workplace team — both on-site and nationally — to keep the office running smoothly, respond quickly to employee needs, and continually raise the bar on the experience you deliver.

You will be visible, proactive, and solution-oriented. If something is not working, you will notice it and fix it. If someone needs help, you will be there before they must ask twice.

The base salary is aligned with market data and is estimated between $60,000 to $65,000 with the ability to achieve additional compensation through bonus. This salary range reflects base compensation for the position across all US locations. Within this range, individual pay is determined by work location and other factors including relevant education/training, experience, and internal equity.
