About the role

Lead the physical workspace strategy and operations for Polymarket's NYC HQ, owning space management, vendor relations, budgets, build-outs, and a scalable workplace function as the company grows.

Responsibilities

  • Keep NYC HQ running at a high bar every day: space, supplies, furniture, and vibes
  • Select and manage vendors (cleaning, catering, facilities maintenance) and own the workplace budget — plan it, track it, and find places to save
  • Make sure investors, candidates, and partners understand who Polymarket is the moment they walk in
  • Work with IT and Security on visitor management, room booking, inventory, and maintenance systems, and keep them working as we grow
  • Own workplace health and safety: routine checks, ergonomics, local compliance, and emergency preparedness including evacuation plans and drills
  • Work with Security on physical access and incident response, from building access to visitor protocols
  • Manage and grow the workplace team, starting with the Office Manager and Receptionists — set clear goals, coach the team, and hold a high bar
  • Write the playbooks and SOPs so the office runs well when you're not in the room
  • Own the in-office events program: happy hours, celebrations, and All Hands logistics
  • Partner with People on culture programming: swag, welcome kits, recognition, onboarding, and seasonal moments
  • Manage the landlord relationship and ensure the lease is honored, we're compliant with local ordinances, and we maintain a strong partnership with the building
  • Work with in-house designers and outside architects on timeline, permitting, furniture, and the move itself — delivering the new space on time, on budget, and with an exceptional experience for the team
  • Take on more sites and real estate as we grow, scoping and building out new space as Polymarket expands

Qualifications

  • 7–10+ years in workplace, office operations, or facilities at a high-growth startup or tech company, including managing people
  • You've built a workplace function and led the team that runs it day to day
  • You've led a major office build-out or relocation
  • Sharp with budgets and vendors — you negotiate well and hold people accountable
  • You build durable systems instead of one-off fixes
  • Extreme ownership: when the AV dies mid-all-hands, you fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again
  • High taste and attention to detail — the office should look good and run well
  • A strong communicator who can talk to executives, engineers, and contractors and adjust to whoever's in the room
  • (Plus) Experience in fintech, crypto, or fast-moving startups
  • (Plus) Experience managing office build-outs in NYC specifically
  • (Plus) Event planning background, internal or external
  • (Plus) Familiarity with Notion, Slack, and modern workplace tools
