We’re looking for an exceptional Workplace Operations Manager to own and continuously elevate the San Francisco workplace experience at Ambience. This is a highly visible, high-ownership role responsible for ensuring the office runs with quiet reliability while feeling warm, energized, and deeply intentional.

You’ll treat the workplace as a product — designing scalable systems, anticipating needs before they surface, and eliminating friction so teams can do their best work. From infrastructure and vendor management to onboarding readiness, culture, events, and long-term space strategy, you’ll serve as the operational backbone of our in-person environment and a key steward of Ambience’s culture.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ownership-heavy environments, operates calmly amid complexity, and takes pride in building spaces people genuinely want to be in — not just functional, but world-class.

(SF based, 3-5 days a week onsite)

Deliver a World-Class Office Experience
Own day-to-day office operations to ensure the SF space is reliable, welcoming, and frictionless. Be the in-office point person for guests, deliveries, vendor coordination, and real-time issue resolution.

Lead Onsite Onboarding & Logistics
Manage physical onboarding end-to-end — from workspace setup and equipment to meals and access. Partner with People Ops and IT to ensure Day 1 readiness and own equipment logistics for onboarding/offboarding.

Own Space Strategy & Growth Planning
Track space utilization, maintain seat maps, and plan for future headcount needs. Manage real estate relationships and lead reconfigurations, expansions, or relocations as the team scales.

Drive Culture Through Space & Events
Plan intentional in-office events that foster connection and belonging. Own the aesthetic, layout, and vibe of the space, and serve as a visible culture carrier for employees, guests, and candidates.

Build Scalable Workplace Systems
Create and maintain SOPs, dashboards, and workflows that optimize procurement, safety, inventory, and cost. Partner cross-functionally with People, Finance, IT, and Facilities to ensure seamless workplace operations.

• An experienced, operationally excellent workplace leader who designs and runs reliable systems, anticipates issues before they escalate, and sets a high bar for precision and follow-through

• A high-ownership builder who treats the office and workplace experience as a product, taking end-to-end responsibility and continuously improving how the environment supports the business

• Calm, adaptable, and solutions-oriented, able to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and lead through change without creating unnecessary friction

• A strong systems thinker who documents processes, builds scalable and repeatable workflows, and enables others to operate confidently and independently

• A trusted, warm, and professional communicator who partners effectively with employees, leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders, and manages external vendors with clarity and accountability

• Comfortable being hands-on and onsite while also operating at a strategic level — overseeing vendors, budgets, office infrastructure, events, and space planning, and stepping in where needed to make things happen

• Bringing 4–6+ years of experience in Workplace, Office Operations, Facilities, or similar roles, with demonstrated ability to manage complexity in a fast-moving environment

• Highly organized with excellent written and verbal communication skills; bonus experience with Notion, procurement tools, asset management systems, or space planning platforms
