About Common

Common designs, creates, and operates all-inclusive homes, bringing community, convenience, and flexibility to housing. Common members know their neighbors, have more free time, and the opportunity to transfer to any Common home across the country. Since launching in October 2015, Common has opened more than a dozen homes across New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Washington D.C., and Chicago.

It’s an exciting time to be part of Common’s team. We challenge ourselves every day to not just think about ways to make city living better, but to activate on those ideas in meaningful ways. Our team is comprised of real estate professionals, designers, engineers, salespeople, marketers, client service representatives, and so much more. We work collaboratively, value self-startership, and embrace a “whatever it takes” mentality to ensuring our work is done and done well.

Common was founded by General Assembly co-founder Brad Hargreaves and has raised over $65MM in venture funding.

Common is hiring a Project Coordinator to source, procure, and manage the installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment inside our homes. From working with our Interior Decorators, furniture sales reps, warehouse and logistics managers and manual labor on site during home move in, our Project Coordinators are responsible for all aspects of preparing our new homes for our members.

About the Role

Common provides convenience and community in all of our homes. By furnishing our homes from the bed and sofa, through to the silverware, blender and linens, our members are able to move in without the typical pain points of the “moving process”. We also recognize that in shared living there is the dilemma of how to decorate, and “who takes what” when they leave. By furnishing our homes we create beautiful spaces for our members to enjoy and remove many of the things that roommates can fight over. It is the Project Coordinator’s responsibility to ensure that, on opening day, our homes deliver on this promise, and that the home is ready for our members when they move in.

Our Project Coordinators have strong attention to detail, an affinity for organization and a sincere passion and care for the end member experience. This role requires someone who has; an eye for style and quality, is diligent and able to keep track of many items at once, is proactive, and is an excellent communicator. This is also a leadership role. During home move ins Project Coordinators run the show. They are in charge of all aspects of the move in, from ensuring that movers place furniture correctly, to problem solving on the spot and managing teams of laborers to quality check the home and carry out small tasks.

Your work will have a meaningful and significant impact on the member experience and you will be an important part of the Space team. You will report directly to the Head of Design and Construction and work closely with peers in this role. Being an early stage startup there is great opportunity for growth, and to contribute to the formation of new processes and systems.
