Your Mission:

Your mission is to lead placemaking, events, meetings, and conferences within one of Chicago’s most exciting workplace destinations - all designed to foster a sense of community within the building and to pull the public into it for exciting events.

You'll manage a Meetings & Events Manager who will manage those onsite operations, and you will serve as a trusted partner to tenants, property management, and building ownership. With every moment you curate, you help redefine what it feels like to come to the office.

The Legacy You’ll Leave:

As a result of your time in this role, your building’s vibe and amenities became the heartbeat of the building.  You inspired tenants to engage more deeply with their workplace, making coming to the office feel intentional, energizing, and personal. You helped your tenants discover they could thrive at work.

Your programming brought purpose to the calendar, your hospitality elevated every interaction, and your partnerships brought the best of Chicago into the building. You built lasting relationships across all the various stakeholder groups you partnered with, and you were a true reason they continued to work with lulafit.

• High-Performing Amenity Programs:  Operate and optimize the building's amenities, including meeting and event space, conferencing, and a game room. Ensure seamless daily execution, driving growth in both utilization and monthly revenue performance.
• Engaging, Brand-Aligned Programming: Curate and execute monthly tenant events that drive connection and community. Maintain high attendance and satisfaction while managing your programming budget with precision and efficiency.
• Trusted Client and Tenant Relationships: Build strong relationships with property management, leasing, ownership, and the tenants you see every day. Proactively gather feedback, generate tailored recommendations, and deliver monthly reports that demonstrate impact.
• Effective Communication and Marketing: Implement tenant-facing communication strategies, including newsletters, signage, and digital campaigns, that drive awareness, participation, and revenue. Engage the surrounding community with the building through public outreach and activations.
• Strategic Partnerships: Establish and manage relationships with local vendor partners to enhance event offerings and the tenant experience while supporting and pulling in the community surrounding your building.

• 5+ years of experience in hospitality, event planning, or community management. Experience working in or adjacent to commercial real estate is a plus. Examples include: Community Experience Director with Industrious, Convene, or another co-working space; Marketing and Events Director with experience working for commercial real estate clients; Engagement Director for a Commercial Office owner or manager.

• Comfortable using new and evolving technology systems for membership management.
• Thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, collaborative startup environment
• Confidence using marketing tools like Marq, Canva, or templated platforms

• Obsessively customer-centric:  You have an innate hospitality mindset and a track record of exceeding expectations. You thrive when you’re serving others and take pride in making people feel seen and valued. In previous roles, you exceeded what customers expected of you, and you are happiest when you are serving others.
• A resourceful entrepreneur energized by making your mark:  You are thrilled to be launching a brand new role and excited to knock the socks off of your client. You have a track record of working autonomously, efficiently managing tasks, and making decisions with minimal supervision.
• A hyper-organized ball juggler: You’re a natural multitasker who stays on top of details, constantly reprioritizing to keep things running smoothly. Chaos doesn’t scare you—it motivates you because you know how to create order from it.
• A stellar communicator: You’re approachable, professional, and responsive. You build trust easily, communicate with empathy, and are just as comfortable chatting with C-suite executives as you are with first-time gym-goers.
• Creative and innovative mindset: You don’t just do what’s been done—you ask what could be better. You think beyond the obvious and bring fresh energy to problem-solving and programming.
• ​​Technologically savvy: You’ve worked across a variety of digital tools and platforms and bring a curious, solution-oriented mindset to any tech stack.
• A reliable team player: Your past managers would say that you are dependable, collaborative, and that you show up every day ready to “pick up an oar.” You understand how your role fits into the larger mission and care deeply about collective success.
