What We Are Looking For:Distyl is looking for a Workplace Experience Manager who will set the bar for how we operate and feel as a company. This isn't a traditional office management role. We need someone with high agency, impeccable taste, and genuine passion for building exceptional workplace culture and experiences. You'll be both strategist and operator: senior enough to design systems, implement playbooks, and resource-manage as we scale, while staying hands-on enough to execute the details that matter. You'll own the end-to-end experience of our office from daily operations to culture-driving moments, ensuring Distyl remains a place where top talent wants to be.
The ideal candidate moves at startup speed, has experienced hyper-growth (Series A-C), and knows how to build infrastructure that scales without losing the magic. You have a service-oriented mindset, obsess over details, and treat our office like a product that needs constant refinement.

Strong systems thinker who can design playbooks, processes, and infrastructure that grow with the company

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—you can work effectively with leadership, cross-functional teams, and external partners
Proactive, resourceful, high-agency mindset with a bias toward action and problem-solving
Passion for creating thoughtful, memorable experiences and a strong sense of design and aesthetic
Competitive salary and benefits package, including equity options and healthcare.
The opportunity to work at a mission-driven AI startup that is transforming how Fortune 500 companies operate.
A fast-paced, dynamic work environment where your contributions will directly impact the company’s success.
