[Expired] - Front desk + Event Operations
Company: xandwhy Coworking Space: x+why People’s Mission Hall Address: London, UK People’s Mission Hall, 20-30 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1EW
The bit about us:
Founded in 2019, by 3 incredibly motivated entrepreneurs whose mission was clear - business should be a force for good. And by good we mean; we consider people and planet as well as profit. We are very proud to be a Certified B Corp!
We currently manage 400,000 sq ft of hospitality focused co-working, event, and exclusive club spaces for over 5000 members. We operate across the UK, with offices in London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Milton Keynes, with exciting plans to launch more sites in 2025.
The bit about you:
Your people skills are through the roof amazing!! Positive, with a naturally engaging nature, your energy is infectious, and everyone you interact with walks away a little bit happier. You adapt easily to changing priorities and have confidence in your ability to resolve any potential problems. You are consistent in the standard of your delivery and understand that small details matter.
The bit about the role:
This is a "roll your sleeves up and get involved" type role. Although based on our front desk for part of the day, you will be free to roam and proactively assist across the site to ensure operational standards are being met. You will be responding to email enquiries from current and prospective members, liaising with contractors regarding any facility related issues, booking meeting rooms and issuing access passes as required.
Working closely with our Community and Event Sales Teams, you will be supporting the delivery of events on the day, to ensure they run smoothly. We host a range of events for amazing brands, community partners and charitable organisations, with lots of inspiring guest speakers. You will prepare the space for each event in terms of seating arrangements, required AV/sound equipment set up, lighting/signage etc, manage any bar/catering provisions and also ensure the breakdown of the event is complete, ensuring the space is ready for the next day.
Your professional and approachable nature ensures that should a problem arise during an event, you are on hand to help find a solution promptly and always with a smile! Experience within the hospitality sector and an interest in IT/AV would be advantageous.
The hours:
Our standard shifts are 8am - 5pm and 9am - 6pm (these rotate between the team), however there will be times when you will be supporting events that run into the evening (9pm would be the latest). Typically, we host evening events 2/3 times a week, but this does fluctuate.
Why x+why?
We want you to enjoy coming to work every day. Even on Mondays.
To make sure of this we will provide you with a phenomenal environment - think inspiring design, cutting edge tech, stunning views, great coffee, and lots and lots of plants! Plus, you’ll be part of our hugely supportive, collaborative team, who although take their members’ experience very seriously, also want to have a lot of fun along the way.
