Workplace Manager

Turion Space is seeking a Workplace Manager to join our team. This is a people‑first, operations‑focused role for someone who thrives on creating spaces where others can do their best work. You’re the person who keeps the office running smoothly, organized, and welcoming, the one who notices when supplies are running low, takes pride in owning a space end‑to‑end, and finds genuine satisfaction in creating a seamless workplace experience. This role reports directly to the Facilities Manager.

As Workplace Manager, you’ll own the day‑to‑day experience of our offices in Southern California and Washington, D.C. You’ll work closely with employees, leadership, and vendors to ensure our spaces are functional, stocked, and set up for people to do meaningful work. The role is intentionally broad: one day you might be planning seating for a growing team, the next coordinating a company event or following up on a maintenance issue. No two days are the same, and you bring order, warmth, and consistency to all of it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the day-to-day operations of our offices, serving as the go-to resource for employees across teams including Production, R&D, Business Development, IT, and senior leadership.

• Manage seating arrangements, space utilization, and onboarding logistics for new hires, ensuring alignment with current and future headcount needs.

• Monitor and manage office supplies and equipment, maintaining optimal stock levels to meet operational needs.

• Manage vendor relationships for office services such as cleaning, food/beverage, and general office support.

• Coordinate internal team events and external client events, ensuring events run smoothly and feel thoughtfully executed.

• Communicate clearly and proactively with employees about office updates, space changes, and workplace improvements.

• Partner with the Facilities Manager on cross-functional projects where workplace and facilities need overlap.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in workplace, office management, or a related role (startup or aerospace experience is a strong plus.)

• A genuinely people-first mindset: you care about the employee experience and it shows in how you work.

• Strong organizational and time management skills

• Clear, proactive communicator; you keep people informed and never leave anyone guessing.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make good judgment calls with minimal oversight.

• Experience managing multiple sites or office locations.

• Vendor management experience and confidence holding external partners accountable.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background at a fast-paced tech company or high-growth manufacturer.

• Experience coordinating events, office moves, or space planning initiatives.

• Familiarity with workplace tools (e.g., space management software, office platforms).

At Turion, we're building the infrastructure for humanity's future in space, and that starts with building a great place to work here on Earth. Come help us do both.
