About the role

It is a hands-on, accountable executive seat.
And you will do all of it in a culture that takes the work seriously but not itself.
Find the right balance between exceptional physical spaces and a product cost that makes deals work

Everything we do comes down to creating great days for teams of all sizes and stages, including our own.
Deconstruct our D&C processes, identify bottlenecks, and redesign how we work so we bring down cost and time to build without sacrificing quality
Build strong partnerships with key construction firms and hold them to the standard we need
Evolve how we find and close deals in a tightening market, developing creative structures that unlock new markets and improve returns
Deep hands-on expertise in construction and design, with strong fluency across commercial real estate too

A track record of owning and scaling a physical development or real estate platform at exec level
Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams across geographies, balancing connection with operational excellence
You can simplify complex problems into repeatable, scalable systems and you find that kind of work energising, not draining
D&C is not territory you have spent real time in.
You are energised by deep functional expertise in one area but find cross-functional complexity frustrating
You have not led a team through a major transition or period of change
You are not comfortable being your full, authentic, slightly weird self in front of a room

Serve as a core member of the executive team and bring clarity to complex cross-functional decisions
Be a visible, inspiring presence across the whole organisation, not just within your function
Have the difficult conversations when they are needed, and do it with care

The annual base compensation range for this role is $300,000 to $330,000, with actual compensation based on experience, skills, and qualifications.

You will also be eligible for an annual bonus and participation in our long-term incentive program.
Additional benefits include heavily subsidised healthcare plans, generous paid time off, wellness programs, professional development grants, and a 401k plan.
Your strength is strategy and vision but you find the detail of execution draining

scaling our core coworking product, building new products, expanding our global footprint, and doing it all with strong unit economics.
We are looking for people who love thinking outside the box and thrive in a truly collaborative setting.
As teammates, we encourage new ideas and toast every win.
We celebrate our people as individuals who can accomplish great things when we work together as one team.
Industrious is the largest premium workplace-as-a-service provider and home to the highest-rated workplaces in the industry.
We are at an inflection point, having joined CBRE, the world's largest real estate company, as an independent business unit.
Lead and elevate our design function, partnering on new product lines and pushing the team to challenge assumptions across our brand portfolio
