This person is the face of the workplace and the owner of a site that must be polished, functional, and demo-ready at all times, and personally owns the reception desk as the front-of-house presence for the office. Because Facilities leadership is on-site only periodically, the role operates with a high degree of independence: it anticipates needs, makes sound day-to-day decisions within clear guardrails, and resolves issues before they surface rather than waiting for direction. When executives and VIPs visit, this role ensures the site and executive briefing center are clean, stocked, secure, and physically demo-ready, and delivers a polished front-of-house and guest experience, in support of the executive assistant team, who own meeting logistics, AV, agendas, and the executive\u0026#39;s schedule.

This role owns the physical site, the reception desk and front-of-house experience, the guest and workplace experience, vendors, and site readiness. The two are deliberately complementary: the EA runs the executive\u0026#39;s day; the Workplace Experience Manager runs the site the executive walks into. This role sits on its own growth path within Workplace \u0026amp;amp; Facilities and is not a stepping-stone into or out of executive support. The role is expected to operate independently within defined guardrails and to follow clear escalation pathways to Facilities leadership for anything structural, financial beyond approved thresholds, safety-related, or outside its lane.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Essential Duties and Responsibilities\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Own and manage the reception desk as the site\u0026#39;s front-of-house post, personally staffing it and/or coordinating coverage, greeting and directing employees, guests, vendors, and VIPs, and setting the standard for every arrival.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Own the daily experience and operation of the Sunnyvale site, ensuring it is consistently polished, functional, and ready for employees, executives, and VIP guests.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Act as the face of the workplace and the site’s decision-maker for day-to-day operations, exercising independent judgment between Facilities leadership visits and escalating what genuinely warrants it through defined pathways.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Keep the site and executive briefing center presentation- and demo-ready at all times, clean, stocked, functional, secure, so the space is never a variable when VIPs arrive.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;During VIP visits and executive meetings, provide front-of-house, guest, facility, and vendor support to the EA and executive teams (who own logistics, AV, and agenda).\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Own visitor management (e.g., Envoy/VMS), check-in, and badging, and keep the reception area welcoming and well-organized so every guest, from vendors to VIPs, has a smooth, secure, professional arrival.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Identify, build, and manage local vendor relationships including catering as needed (janitorial supplies, beverage, etc.), managing performance to a high standard day-to-day.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Maintain supply, pantry, and workspace readiness so the site never scrambles ahead of a visit or event.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Partner with HR and Recruiting on onboarding logistics, workspace setup, access coordination, and first-day readiness.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Plan and lead site-wide, all-employee workplace and culture events (the EA team owns executive and staff offsites).\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Own seating and workspace planning as the site scales toward ~80 employees by the end of 2026.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Proactively surface facility, safety, and vendor risks;
