About the Role
We’re hiring a Workplace Manager to own the day-to-day experience of our San Francisco office and coordinate logistics for our New York office. You’ll be based in SF, in office 3 days a week or as needed, and you’ll be the person who makes both locations run.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in office management, workplace operations, or a related coordination role
• Experience managing vendors, budgets, and office moves or build-outs
• Comfortable owning a second office’s logistics remotely, without daily in-person oversight
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through on details that don’t get missed
• Clear, proactive communicator who works well across teams and locations

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting a company with offices in more than one city
• Experience planning offsites or company events end to end

Responsibilities

• Coordinate office move-ins and move-outs, including vendor scheduling, timelines, and setup
• Manage office logistics for SF and NY: ordering supplies, handling shipments, visitor and guest check-in, and vendor relationships
• Plan and execute team offsites, from venue selection through day-of logistics
• Build employee experience programs that make Cogent a place people want to grow: team bonding events, recurring traditions, and a general read on how people are doing
• Own new hire onboarding logistics: first-day setup, laptop provisioning and pickup, desk assignment, and building access
• Oversee logistics for our New York office remotely, coordinating with local vendors and NY-based team members to keep that office running smoothly
• Act as the go-to person for office-related questions and issues in both locations
