Facilities & Office Manager

We’re looking for someone to own Ultra’s physical workplace, from facilities and everyday office operations to the buildout and move into our new office. You’ll report to our Chief Business Officer, and make sure the team has a reliable, welcoming and well-organized place to work as our needs change.

Your first major project will be our January/February office move. You’ll coordinate the design and buildout, manage vendors and dependencies, and make sure the space is ready for the team. Alongside that project, you’ll keep day-to-day office needs running smoothly and build simple systems that prevent recurring problems.

As Ultra grows, you’ll plan ahead for changing space needs, support our lab and factory teams on shared facilities, and help establish future offices when expansion plans are approved.
