You'll take incoming booking requests and coordinate and execute the actual meetings and conferences, all while proactively anticipating tenant needs and providing surprise + delight moments for them.

The Legacy You'll Leave :

As a result of your time in this role, you brought stellar meetings and conferences to 3,000 human beings who work across both buildings.

You created such deep and meaningful relationships with the building's management team, their tenants, and external partners that they never wanted lulafit to leave.

Your legacy brought wellness and peak performance to the masses and turned their office building into somewhere they were excited to show up every day.

Lastly, you led lulafit to become a lasting fixture in the Chicago Loop community.

What You're Responsible For :

Coordinate Meetings and Conferences. Provide a five-star experience for meetings and conferences from intake to follow-up.

You'll take in all booking requests, confirm and schedule bookings, oversee room configurations, welcome tenants to the space and assist with catering as requested.

Execute Flawless Gatherings. Ensure you know all of the tenants needs for the space and that they are in place prior to the event (ex : whiteboards, writing materials, microphones, drinks and snacks, technology.

Anticipate tenant needs that they may not be aware of and provide for them (ex : creativity materials in brainstorming sessions, extra plug strips for larger meetings, etc.

Coordinate with janitorial, security, and maintenance teams as needed.

• Maintain Inventory. Make sure you always have enough equipment, supplies, and catering items and restock and reorder when needed.
• Troubleshoot AV / IT Equipment Issues. Our AV / IT vendor will first train you to help you understand meeting room technology (projectors, sounds systems, and video conference tools).

From there, your job will be to reasonably support the tenant and understand when to call in the vendor for support.

• Conduct Post Meeting and Conference Surveys and use findings to provide even better tenant / customer support.
• Support the Tenant Experience Director with event brainstorming and day-of execution of large tenant engagement events.
• Collaborate with other on-site teams such as the Fitness Managers, the Tenant Experience Director, the property management team, and / or building maintenance, to ensure a consistent five-star tenant experience.

• You have 2+ years experience troubleshooting IT or A / V equipment issues.
• You are proficient with both the Google suite (what lulafit uses) and Microsoft Office (what our clients use). Don't worry, you don't need to be great at PowerPoint nor super savvy with Excel.

Who You Are : Key Competencies :

• A stellar communicator. You are known for clearly communicating your points - whether in email or verbally. In this role you'll be communicating a lot about bookings (both coordinating them and confirming), sending vendor communications, and engaging with different levels of tenants (office managers to C-Suite).
• A hyper-organized and detailed ball juggler. You stay extremely organized and are constantly reprioritizing your own work because it's what makes you most effective.

Everyone refers to you as a stellar multi-tasker.

• Obsessively customer-centric. In previous roles, you have exceeded what customers expected of you, you have an innate hospitality mindset and are happiest when you are serving others.
• A problem solver extraordinaire. You always see ahead of the curve and successfully troubleshoot potential issues like a vendor event telling you she'll be late or AV equipment not working before the meeting attendees arrive.
• Technologically savvy : You have worked within many different technological environments and you are quick to learn new platforms.

You approach technology with a curious mind and strive to use any and all tech efficiently and effectively.

Professional, reliable, and easy to work with. You are able to work with all levels of staffing, other management and clientele (i.
