We’re building a different kind of technology company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look and feel to how we communicate and show up in culture, we believe technology should make you feel something. Founded in London in 2020, we’ve grown from idea to global challenger in just a few years. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide. ## The Role We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Store Manager to lead our San Francisco space — a hybrid brand showroom, retail space and workplace. This role sits at the intersection of brand experience,  community and workplace management. You’ll ensure the space runs flawlessly day-to-day while delivering a premium, design-forward environment for customers, fans, partners, and guests.

Site Operations & Facilities - Own daily site operations, including opening/closing procedures, vendor coordination, supplies, and maintenance. - Manage facilities partners (cleaning, security, repairs, utilities, etc.). - Oversee space readiness, safety compliance, and workplace standards. - Manage site budget, invoices, and reporting. Workplace Experience - Create a welcoming, high-energy workplace experience for employees and visitors. - Support internal events, team offsites, and leadership visits. - Ensure the space reflects brand standards at all times — visually, culturally, operationally. People & Coordination - Coordinate contractors, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders (Retail, Marketing, People, Ops). - Support onboarding logistics for new hires based in SF. - Build playbooks and processes that scale as we grow. ## Requirements - A fan of the Nothing; A technology early adopter; Passionate to represent the brand in San Francisco. - 5+ years of experience in retail management, showroom management, or similar. - Experience managing a physical space end-to-end (office, retail, studio, or event space). - Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail. - Comfortable working cross-functionally in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. - Confident communicator who can represent the brand in person. - Willingness to work occasional evenings/weekends for launches or events. ## Nice to Have - Experience opening or building out new spaces. - Background in premium retail, design-led brands, or hospitality. - Strong eye for design, culture, and contemporary creative movements. We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels welcome and empowered to do their best work.
