Role Purpose
This is not an operations role with some sales responsibility — this is a commercial leadership role.

You are the face of the workplace, you’ll run the ship, its yours. You actively hunt for new business, gather opportunities from your network and community, convert prospects into clients, and ensure every existing client renews because they simply don’t want to leave. You will be overseeing day-to- day operations, hosting social events, managing budgets and creating a unique and welcoming environment.
