En tant qu'Office & Event Manager chez Hexa, vous serez responsable de la gestion quotidienne de La Cristallerie, un espace de 800 m² accueillant environ 150 personnes. Vous gérerez les relations avec les prestataires, le budget, l'animation du lieu et l'accueil des équipes. Vous produirez également les événements (petits-déjeuners, masterclass, demo days) et veillerez au bien-être de l'équipe core. Ce rôle est très opérationnel et centré sur l'humain.

Responsibilities

  • Run the building:
  • Own the vendor relationships (cleaning, maintenance, security, caterers, suppliers): choose them, negotiate them, hold them to their word.
  • Own the venue budget end to end, trade-offs included.
  • Manage the space itself: floor plan, teams moving in and out, room bookings, and the diplomacy of four people wanting the atrium on the same Thursday.
  • Handle whatever the building throws at you, from the leak to the AC giving up on conference day, through to resolution.
  • Keep the podcast studio alive: bookings, setup, guest welcome, gear in working order.
  • Animate the workplace:
  • Be the face of the place, the person people come to for everything and the one who already anticipated half of it.
  • Onboard incoming teams: the tour, the house rules, introductions to their new neighbours, the small fixes of week one.
  • Engineer the encounters, like a lunch that seats two founders together because you noticed they were solving the same problem.
  • Read the temperature of the building and flag what is wrong before it reaches us on its own.
  • Produce the events:
  • Breakfasts, masterclasses, demo days, dinners, parties, offsites, farewells, birthdays. The build-up (budget, vendors, logistics, run of show) and the day itself (setup, coordination, being in the room, breakdown).
  • Host our startups' and subtenants' own events too, and make sure they leave wanting the date back next quarter.
  • Look after the core team:
  • The office management essentials for 40 people: orders, mail, welcome packs, equipment, the small daily emergencies.
  • Plus support to the HR team on people experience for Hexa employees: offsites, team retreats, demo times.

Requirements

  • You have run a venue, with clients inside it and vendors around it. Probably from hospitality (operations manager, duty manager, head concierge, meetings & events manager), from events (venue manager, production coordinator, stage or technical manager), or from managed offices, coworking, campuses and incubators.
  • You can handle a budget and negotiate without turning it into a standoff.
  • The extra mile is a reflex. You go and buy the flowers yourself because the florist sent something sad, and you stay twenty minutes longer because the evening is going well.
  • You like people, and it shows without you having to work at it.
  • The unexpected energizes you rather than tightening you up. A leak never gives notice, and neither does a founder.
  • Working French and English. The building is bilingual.

Benefits

  • €47-54k total compensation (38K-45K base salary + 20% interessement)
  • Opportunity to invest in Hexa portfolio startups at a (very) preferential rate
  • Swile meal card
  • 8 to 12 RTT days per year
  • Mobility budget: €500/year for green transportation (bike, metro, electric scooter)
  • Health insurance with 50% coverage for you and your family
  • 1% Holiday bonus
  • The Hexa ecosystem: 12 companies built a year, 60 in the portfolio, a permanent flow of founders, operators and investors. You will meet more people here in a month than in a year anywhere else.
  • Full autonomy on your scope, and the budget that goes with it.
