Reports to: Director of Tenant Experience on-site

Your Mission:

Your mission is to provide a five-star experience for each tenant when they reserve one of the two, stunning bookable conference rooms on Level 27 (yes, great views!) of the Transamerica Pyramid. You’ll also support the other on-site Lulafit team members with coordinating and executing events of all sizes in the other bookable spaces spanning 3 other floors. You’ll create repeat customers by providing a seamless experience from initial intake to event tear down.

The Legacy You’ll Leave:

As a result of your time in this role, you built a deep and meaningful relationship with each and every person who booked an event at the Pyramid and were an integral part of creating thriving hubs of connection, wellbeing, & productivity. By upholding the highest hospitality standards in every interaction, you supported lulafit and building management (SHVO) and ensured the Pyramid became a lasting fixture in downtown San Francisco’s reimagination.

What You’re Responsible For:

• Masterful Event Execution: Partner with your Tenant Experience Director and Hospitality Liaisons to achieve flawless event set up and execution. Coordinate with the building staff for event break down, assisting when necessary. Provide the highest level of customer service to each event guest to ensure tenants rebook the spaces on a regular basis.
• Team and Operational Support: You will support all of the on-site teams (including SHVO, JLL, building staff and Lulafit team members) with events to increase tenant engagement, such as networking socials in the expansive Redwood Park at the base of the Pyramid. You’ll be known as the person who is "everywhere, all the time," flawlessly juggling competing demands to support your team. You'll use data to inform programming, gather tenant feedback, and organize information to provide reporting and recommendations to the client about how to make everyone happy to be at work!
• Event Bookings Coordination: Own the booking process for all tenant event requests, such as board meetings or company holiday celebrations. Your job is to confirm final dates + times, manage email communications, schedule meetings, confirm vendor insurance, and project manage every detail of the event from inception to completion.
• Tenant Event Intake Meetings: When tenants fill out a booking request, you’ll meet individually with the point(s) of contact to clarify all details such as the event vision and expectations, vendor information, and day-of event logistics. You’ll keep meticulous notes, ensuring every element is perfectly aligned for a seamless and unforgettable event experience.
• Stakeholder and Tenant Relationships: Cultivate meaningful relationships with tenants and stakeholders, providing personalized solutions and white-glove hospitality experiences to earn a satisfaction score of 95% or higher from the tenants you support.
• Support Vendor Management: Support your Tenant Experience Director with maintaining relationships with local vendors, retail tenants, on-site food and beverage operators, and external partners to enhance event offerings and tenant experiences. Actively grow the team’s vendor network within the community.
• Embody Client Brand and Mission: You will embody Shvo’s core values and serve as a brand ambassador of The Transamerica Pyramid. In this role you will represent the Brand in everything you do through your internal interactions with Tenants to your external interactions with Vendor relationships.
