About The Position

Hubble Network is building a global Bluetooth® network for machine-to-machine connectivity, aiming to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network. We are an early-stage, venture-backed startup seeking talented individuals to join our team. We are looking for a resilient, high-ownership Workplace Experience Manager to ensure our HQ and Warehouse/Lab run seamlessly and to continuously elevate the standard of our workplace. This role is a blend of service and strategy, acting as the primary point of contact for employees and the owner of how the workplace operates, including building systems and shaping a positive workplace culture. You will sit at the intersection of Operations, People, and Facilities, partnering with Operations leadership and acting as a force multiplier for the organization. The ideal candidate is highly organized, action-oriented, emotionally intelligent, and thrives in fast-paced, high-change environments, adept at switching between strategic and hands-on tasks. You take full ownership, move fast, and have a relentless get-it-done mentality.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in workplace management, facilities, or office operations, with at least 2 years in a role with strategic or managerial scope.
Experience working in a high-growth startup environment.
Demonstrated budget ownership experience: you've built a budget, tracked it, and made trade-off decisions.
Proven experience leading office move-outs, move-ins, and ground-up build-outs: you’ve managed construction timelines, coordinated contractors and vendors, and delivered a workspace on time and on budget.
Track record of building and developing teams: you lead by example, invest in the people around you, and raise the bar for everyone.
Strong vendor management capabilities: negotiation, SLA management, performance accountability.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management. You adapt your style for different audiences, present confidently to Operations leadership, and communicate with warmth and clarity to the broader team.
High EQ: You build genuine relationships across all levels of the organization, navigate ambiguity with composure, and bring people along through change.
Systems builder mindset: you identify gaps, design solutions, document processes, and train others; you make things better and make them stick.
Action-oriented and solutions-focused: you don't wait for permission, you don't get stuck in problems, and you follow through completely.
High proficiency with Google Suite, Slack, Jira, Trello, Confluence, and an aptitude for adopting new operational tools quickly.
Experience with Project Management Tools
Absolute discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive company, personnel, or investor information.
