• Assist with space planning and moves/adds/changes as the organization scales
• Perform routine preventative maintenance tasks and facility inspections, ensuring upkeep of space and cleanliness of facility
• Support event planning, space setup, vendor services, and on‑site operational need
• Escalate issues and coordinate follow-up repairs as needed
• Monitor inventory and manage supply ordering from vendors for local sites
• Ticket Management
• Steward excellence in all interactions with internal customers, team members, and external partners by providing prompt service and accurate information
