Switchyards is Hiring a Full-time Office Manager
Switchyards Downtown Club opened in early 2016 as the consumer and design-focused startup community in Atlanta. The founders of Scoutmob bought a 90-year-old building in the heart of Downtown and renovated it, serving as a “founder happy place” for those building the future brands of our city.
We’re looking for a person to join our team as Office Manager. This person will help run the day-to-day of our team and community. This role will be heavily involved in the inner-workings of the SDC community. There’s a lot happening around here so this person needs to be able to seriously get shit done. This is a full-time, salaried role with benefits.
Some of the main responsibilities
- Point person for maintenance, janitorial, building ops, contractors & suppliers
- Onboard new members of the SDC team and community
- Schedule tours
- Work with members when they have loving nags
- Work with members when they lose their access cards

- Really good managing your time and multi-tasking — it’s busy around here!
- A supreme bias towards action
- Self-starter
- Problem solver
- Great communicator
- Someone who gets shit done
- Effective and efficient
- Really friendly and down-to-earth
- A creative mind with an ability to suggest improvements
- Coffee drinker
- Hustler
