Facilities Project Manager

San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Confidential Search

ParkerBeth is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a top AI software startup headquartered in San Francisco.

The company is scaling aggressively and seeking a highly organized, solutions-oriented Facilities Project Manager to take ownership of workplace operations, facilities infrastructure, vendor management, and employee experience initiatives.

This is not a traditional facilities management role. It is a high-ownership operational leadership position where the successful candidate will help build systems, solve problems, manage vendors, coordinate office expansion efforts, and create an exceptional workplace experience across multiple locations.

The company has recently secured significant funding and is experiencing rapid growth. Its San Francisco headquarters spans approximately 25,000 square feet, with additional national and international office expansion planned.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving operational challenges, and is comfortable taking ownership of projects from concept through execution.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers significantly more ownership and visibility than a traditional facilities position.

You will:

• Work closely with executive leadership

• Build operational systems and processes from the ground up

• Help shape workplace experience and office operations strategy

• Manage both tactical execution and larger-scale projects

• Play a visible role inside a rapidly scaling AI company

• Operate in an environment where initiative and execution matter more than bureaucracy

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, building systems, and creating order within a fast-moving environment.
