Workplace and Events Manager

We’re looking for a strategic, execution-obsessed Events and Facilities Manager to lead two of the most visible functions on our team: events and facilities. You’ll set the vision and own the outcomes — from all-hands events and large-scale offsites to company-wide celebrations — while ensuring our physical space reflects our culture and scales with our growth.

This role will require you to be on-site 5 days a week to ensure all facilities, catering, and events are being managed appropriately. This role also requires the ability to travel off-site to support events held in different locations around the Triangle area.

Event Planning & Execution

• Lead the strategy, planning, and execution of a wide range of company events — including large-scale off-sites and kickoffs (SKO/CKO), seasonal socials, team celebrations, fundraisers, and community engagement events
• Own the full event lifecycle end‑to‑end: setting strategy and objectives, concept and agenda development, venue and vendor sourcing, budget ownership, cross‑functional coordination, and on‑site execution
• Serve as a strategic partner to senior leadership, business partners, and cross‑functional stakeholders — translating business priorities into event strategies that drive connection, culture, and results
• Manage vendor and partner relationships — including branded merchandise partners, venues, caterers, and activity vendors — ensuring quality, value, and on‑brand experiences
• Build and own a scalable events infrastructure — including playbooks, run‑of‑show templates, planning checklists, and vendor rosters — so the function can grow without losing quality or speed
• Establish and own a feedback loop post‑events — synthesizing insights, reporting on outcomes, and using data to continuously raise the bar on future experiences

Facilities & Space Management

• Own the overall facilities function — setting standards, overseeing day‑to‑day operations, directing vendor relationships, and ensuring our physical environment reflects our culture and enables how teams do their best work
• Drive space planning strategy, including developing multi‑phase office layout plans, managing seating assignments, and leading workspace transitions that keep pace with company growth
• Own relationships with facilities vendors and building management, handling maintenance requests, supplies, and office operations
• Own the lease agreements process with our building management
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve the office environment — from traffic flow and team neighborhoods to amenities and signage
• Own onsite logistics for external visitors, guests, and community programs (e.g., job shadowing days, campus partnerships), ensuring a consistently professional and welcoming experience

Catering & Food Programming

• Serve as the sole point of contact for all catering associated with our onsite vendor — owning the relationship, coordinating logistics, and ensuring seamless execution for every order
• Manage recurring weekly breakfast and lunch programs, handling menu planning, headcount tracking, scheduling, and any last‑minute changes with the vendor
• Coordinate all event‑related catering needs — from team socials and offsites to all‑hands meetings and client‑facing events — ensuring food and beverage experiences are on‑brand, on‑budget, and well‑executed
• Proactively communicate catering details to internal stakeholders and ensure dietary needs, allergies, and preferences are consistently accounted for
• Track catering spend, review invoices for accuracy, and identify opportunities to optimize cost without compromising the team member experience
• Build and maintain catering order templates, lead times, and vendor SOPs so the process is reliable, repeatable, and easy to hand off

Community & Team Member Experience

• Responsible for communicating relevant org‑wide communications regarding campus updates, emergency notices, and any other pertinent information to ensure we are adhering to the policies of our campus
• Lead community engagement efforts, including designing and hosting external programs like high school job shadowing days and driving internal team member participation
• Partner with…
