This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Facilities Manager to join a growing and scaling organization where your contributions will have a direct impact on the success of the business. You’ll join an engaged, collaborative team of professionals and a values-driven culture that rewards initiative, accountability, and results.

Cloud First offers a comprehensive health benefits package, including a 4% 401(k) company match with immediate vesting and a Flexible Time Off (FTO) program.
