About Experience By Industrious:

Experience by Industrious is a workplace hospitality brand launched by CBRE - built on the idea that where you work should actually feel like somewhere worth showing up to. We combine CBRE's real estate scale with Industrious' operating model to run dedicated experience teams across office assets, enterprise headquarters, healthcare facilities, and logistics centers worldwide.

About The Role:

A lot of what makes a building feel great happens in the margins - the warm greeting at the desk, the event that runs without a hitch, the amenity space that's always clean and stocked. That's you.

The Hospitality Associate supports the Hospitality and Amenities team in managing the overall day to day amenity operations. This includes conferencing center and community events management - tenant and vendor relationships, supplies inventory and tenant communications. The Hospitality Associate will work closely with the Events Manager and the Community Manager to be hands-on support for the daily operations of all meetings, events, and the overall tenant experience.

The job is multi-faceted, as you'll be an expert in day to day building operations and amenity spaces and services. You will build strong relationships with the building tenants, especially office managers and executive assistants to ensure high hospitality standards and tenant satisfaction. You will be a key member of the tenant experience team and third party hospitality vendors that support excellent service delivery. This role would be great for someone that loves all the moving parts and pieces of in person experiences, whether that be a board meeting, a team happy hour, or an annual conference, and someone who is passionate about making employees feel welcomed, empowered, and delighted at work.

Winning in this role means:

• Tenants and guests are greeted warmly and consistently. Nobody arrives to an unmanned desk or an unsmiling face.
• Events and activations run smoothly because you handled the setup, the logistics, and the inevitable last-minute problem without anyone noticing.
• Amenity spaces are always clean, stocked, and ready. No outages, no surprises.
• Your managers trust you to handle things independently. They're not checking up - they're relying on you.
• You've built real familiarity with tenants. They know your name. You know theirs.

You'll love this role and succeed at it if:

• You take pride in making things feel effortless for other people. The best version of this role is invisible to tenants - everything just works. You're the reason it does.
• You're comfortable moving between structure and movement. Some hours you're anchored at the desk. Others you're helping set up an event, doing a walkthrough, or supporting a community activation. The variety works for you.
• You notice things before anyone asks. The supplies running low. The room that wasn't reset. The new tenant who looks a little lost. You see it, and you handle it.
• You genuinely like people. Not in a performative way - in a real way. You remember names, ask follow-up questions, and make interactions feel human rather than transactional.
• You're part of a team and you act like it. You show up, you do your share, and you help cover when someone needs it. The team's reputation is your reputation.

Not the right fit if:

• You'd prefer minimal interaction with tenants and guests. This role is almost entirely people-facing.
• Predictable routines are important to you. The mix of desk work, event support, and space management changes daily.
• You see hospitality as optional or secondary. Here, it's the job.
• Switching between different types of tasks in the same day feels disorienting. That's the nature of this role.
• You're not comfortable taking initiative without being asked. A lot of what makes this role valuable is proactive, not reactive.
