Elevator Pitch: The Company. Us. Runway East.

Did you want to grow up and work in a boring office? Us neither. At Runway East, we've been on a mission to destroy boring offices since 2014, in whatever size, shape and form they take. Since launching, we now have 8 buildings in London, Bristol and Brighton offering unique flexible office space for teams of 1 - 100 to work in, enjoying everything from dogs on demand to our famed Friday drinks trolley.

Our Runway East team enjoys a bunch of great benefits and unrivalled perks, from private healthcare to team trips abroad. We’ve also recently become a B Corp and think it’s important for our team to give a damn about its impact on the planet and its people.

Runway East has a strong brand, passionate customer base and most importantly, a product members genuinely love. Covid has presented challenges, but it has also presented opportunities. The way of working has been flipped upside down and the demand for flexibility is greater than ever. We’re ready to take full advantage of that.

Elevator Pitch: The Job. It’s a great job. We promise.

As a member of the Community team, you will play a pivotal role in delivering the Runway East product. Representing our brand, you will elevate our member experience through delivering excellent customer service, offering great communication and problem solving skills, and having a keen eye for detail.

Whilst no two days are the same, your key responsibilities will revolve around:

• Front desk management during the building’s set business hours (08:30-17:30) and being the point of contact for members when they need paper, pens; printer help or get the coffee machine working.
• Building relationships with members, anticipating their needs and finding ways to surprise and delight them through our awesome events that we host monthly.
• Troubleshooting any building or member issues and resolving them quickly. ie WIFI going down - dont worry there's a troubleshooting guide
• Delivering the product, ensuring that site standards are kept high and our site, kitchen areas, coffee points and meeting rooms are show-room ready
• Organising our popular member rituals: Cake Wednesday and our Friday Beer Trolley as well as the awesome events we run for our members.
• Assisting the Community Manager with keeping the site secure and compliant through daily checks and processes.
• Communicating with diverse stakeholders throughout the business, head office, members, suppliers, deliver people - you are the main contact,

Even though our sites are open to members 24/7, our Community team are only onsite Monday-Friday from 08:30-17:30, including an hour lunch break.
