About The Position

Aardvark Studios is a design, build, and technology studio serving the experiential marketing, location-based entertainment, and museum industries. We create complex, custom physical experiences—and that requires serious operational infrastructure behind the scenes. We are seeking a Director of Fleet & Facilities to own, elevate, and protect the physical infrastructure of the business. This is a high-accountability, hands-on leadership role for someone who takes pride in operating clean, safe, high-functioning environments. You will build systems, lead execution, and ensure our facilities and fleet run reliably so the rest of the business can move fast without friction. This is not a coordination role. This is ownership. Our Operating Beliefs • Anticipate. Act. Communicate. • Safety always wins. • Clean, organized environments enable better work. • Infrastructure serves the business—not the other way around. • Problems don’t age here. • Ownership builds trust.
