Studio Manager

The Role

We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Studio manager to lead our San Francisco space - a hybrid brand showroom, retail space and workplace. This role sits at the intersection of brand experience, community and workplace management. You'll ensure the space runs flawlessly day-to-day while delivering a premium, design-forward environment for customers, fans, partners, and guests.

You are equal parts local ambassador and host - someone who obsesses in building local community, thrives in fast-paced environments, and understands that physical spaces are an extension of the brand.

Responsibilities

Showroom & Brand Experience

• Oversee showroom presentation, product displays, and launch setups. • Partner with marketing and retail teams to execute product launches, community moments, and press events. • Act as on-site point of contact for partners, press, and VIP guests. • Conduct routine outreach effort in San Francisco community and host brand events to elevate Nothing's local exposure.

Site Operations & Facilities

• Own daily site operations, including opening/closing procedures, vendor coordination, supplies, and maintenance. • Manage facilities partners (cleaning, security, repairs, utilities, etc.). • Oversee space readiness, safety compliance, and workplace standards. • Manage site budget, invoices, and reporting.

Workplace Experience

• Create a welcoming, high-energy workplace experience for employees and visitors. • Support internal events, team offsites, and leadership visits. • Ensure the space reflects brand standards at all times - visually, culturally, operationally.

People & Coordination

• Coordinate contractors, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders (Retail, Marketing, People, Ops). • Support onboarding logistics for new hires based in SF. • Build playbooks and processes that scale as we grow.
