Role Description
We are a technology startup transitioning from pilot builds into scalable, production-ready manufacturing.
This Facilities Manager role sits at the center of a fast-growing startup that is actively expanding its footprint and bringing new facilities online. The environment is dynamic, priorities move quickly, and the work is hands-on. You won’t inherit a mature facilities organization—you’ll help build it.
In the near term, this role is about execution: keeping current facilities running, fixing what breaks, coordinating vendors, and making sure teams can operate without interruption. At the same time, you’ll lead new site setups—helping take empty or partially built spaces and turn them into safe, functional, production-ready facilities.
This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, enjoys rolling up their sleeves, and takes pride in building order where none exists yet. If you like visible impact, real ownership, and watching something tangible grow because of your work, this role delivers that in a big way.
This is a full-time, on-site role located in Emeryville and Oakland, CA.
