1. Community Manager - Who are we looking for?
The perfect person to juggle fireballs, give tours, maintain peace and order, all with a charismatic smile and UNBELIEVABLY positive attitude.
In essence you are the living embodiment of SPOT cowork. You are not just the community manager, but someone who loves creating and maintaining a work space that encourages and fosters collaboration with others. You will be the mayor, journalist, maid, tech guru, publicist, peacemaker, entrepreneur, interior designer, and accountant.
You’re the heart of the community. You know everyone by name and greet and bid adieu with a positivity that gives every member a feeling of warmth and welcome. You are not just another piece of furniture at the front door. You are the motor that keeps the operation running. You’re checking in on everybody throughout the day and ensuring everyone’s needs are met. You maintain a tidy and neat environment that allows one to get business done (keeping track of supplies, vacuuming, cleaning table tops, ensuring any refreshments and food is fresh, keeping all dishware clean). You ensure all technological devices are in working order such as internet, monitors, printers. Assist members with setting up presentations and coordinating events. Be able to learn new software and apps quickly and able to proficiently apply their function. Connect like-minded people and also be able to diffuse any contentions. Keep our social media pages active and exciting. Give tours, help members sign up or move out, and follow up with prospective members.
This is for someone that brings something to the table while also open to learning and growing with us. Someone that can take direction but also takes initiative and thinks on your feet. If you are that awesome person we have been looking for send us your resume. We look forward to hitting the ground running!
Must Haves
Valid drivers license, reliable transportation, and operational smartphone. Any customer-facing experience in sales, hospitality, real estate, retail or a similar environment will be very helpful. Prior experience in coworking would be a huge plus!
Ok, lets answer some of your questions:
This is a full-time position with some flexibility for daily life. This would generally be from seven-thirty until four-thirty each day, with a lunch break in there of course. However, you might be asked to work alternative hours when we have special events.
Where would I work? You would do your training in Victor for several weeks before landing at your very own SPOT - we are scheduled to announce locations in the coming weeks in downtown Rochester, as well as 2 or 3 of the larger suburbs in our area. Yes, you will have some input and there are opportunities to move also.
Starting salary is around $16/hour ($33k annually) and can easily grow to $20/hour ($42k) and beyond.
Vacation? Yup – they are good for the soul. Take week the first year, then it just gets better if you stick around with us.
Any other benefits? Well – for starters, you would be learning the newest and soon to be hottest job in the ‘Tech-Office-Hospitality’ sector. Cowork operators will be in very high demand around the country, get in early and write your own ticket. We also offer a commission program for all our Community Managers. Oh yea, there is also free coffee, sometimes free food and the ability to meet and hang out with some of the coolest people in Rochester. We can assure you – this will NOT feel like a job!!!
