TechHub

TechHub, the hub for technology entrepreneurs from around the world is launching early July. We need great staff to help us greet members, manage the space, set up events and more. We're have two permanent, long-term Reception/Host jobs available for the London space

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves people and is keen to work in a start-up environment and have the opportunity to move up within the company. 

Core duties of the roles:

Reception

• Greet members and guests, assign & monitor guest passes
• Manage the physical sign-in process
• Manage the online booking processes for the co-working space, meeting rooms and device-testing room
• Answer queries
• Book taxis

Facilities management

• Set up the co-working space in the morning
• Ensure kitchen is clear and cleaners have done their job
• Check meeting rooms & set up
• Oversee printing, consumables & maintenance
• Manage any technical issues & order tech support visits where necessary

Event management

• Oversee setting up the event space and catering (you’ll have assistance with the space/catering set-up)
• Greet speakers and attendees
• Manage the guest list

Role description

• TechHub is open 8am – 10pm, so you can choose from core working hours of either 7.30am – 3.30pm, or 2.30pm – 10.30pm, to suit your family arrangements or other commitments.
• Working on-site at TechHub London in City Rd, London EC1Y 2BJ

You’re an essential member of the TechHub team and we’ll be relying on you to be the friendly, professional face of the space. You’ll be genuinely valued – we want the benefit of your experience, skills and expertise to help us shape how the space is run, the processes that need to be put in place, and to come up with ideas to make TechHub even better.

You are:

• Punctual, with excellent time-keeping and completely reliable – you’re such an important member of the team as you’ll be opening up in the morning or closing up at night and trusted with important responsibilities. We need to know you’ll be there when you say you will and are totally trustworthy!
• Super organised – great at managing your time and workload to ensure everything gets done and that handovers with your counterpart are smooth and seamless.
• Friendly and personable with great communication skills – you love interacting with people and helping make their day the best it can be. Our members are lovely people and we know you’ll enjoy meeting them.
• Excellent at remembering names and faces – you’ll be getting to know the people who visit TechHub and everyone loves to be treated like a valued member, rather than a membership number!
• Great with using computers and the internet - you'll need to quickly get to grips with our booking and member-management systems, so good skills with the ability to learn new software, applications and technology is a must.
• Ideally enthusiastic about technology and entrepreneurship – this is what we’re all about and we’d love our staff to understand why tech companies need TechHub and to gain an insight into what it’s like to start-up run a company.
• Happy to muck in – as these are new roles, some duties might be unexpected, or there might be times when it’s all hands on deck. We’re looking for people who want to see TechHub succeed and will get the job done.
• Innovative, creative and proactive – you’ll be developing processes and working out the best ways of doing things. If you think something could be improved, we want to hear your thoughts, and we’d love you to anticipate issues before they arise, and take action where it’s needed.
• The kind of person who goes the extra mile – you’re genuinely helpful and committed and these qualities won’t go unnoticed at TechHub, we believe in giving credit where credit’s due.

While we're seeking people who will really love these roles, there are great opportunities to move forward with TechHub in time, either into events planning and management or into a more senior club management role for one or more TechHub spaces.

As these roles are very important to the company, we're looking for people who want to join the TechHub team and who are interested in full-time, long-term work  (not suitable as holiday temp jobs).

• email your CV to Elizabeth at hostjobs@techhub.com

• briefly detail your relevant experience and skills in the email. We want to see that you're excited by this particular opportunity.
