WeWork is the platform for creators, providing hundreds of thousands of members around the world with space, community, and services that enable them to do what they love and build their life's work. Our mission is to create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living, and our own team members are central to that goal.

We are creating software for physical space that uses data and technology at each point in the building process, such that it can make better sourcing decisions, improve its designs, build faster and smarter, and ultimately improve the lives of the people working within its buildings. Our state of the art technologies and dedication to technological innovation are key reasons why WeWork has been able to scale from operating one workspace location to more than 210 in just over eight years.

The mission of WeWork Labs is to make WeWork the long-term friend and partner to early stage startups, helping them fulfill their destiny, and to power all organizations that share the same intention. Our vision is to be there for anyone who wishes to take the startup path, be the best place to start, and forever partner in success and failure. We offer a global platform that helps startups grow and succeed through community, education, mentorship, investments, press and more, and deliver directly under the WeWork Labs brand and indirectly by powering incubators and accelerators.

You’re an out-of-the-box thinker with deep technology roots; a well organized self-starter who is eager to jump in feet first.

You bring a proven history of initiative, self-direction, creativity, and the ability to meet deadlines and evidence that you are a top performer in your current role. You are very hands-on, while also being able to build and develop a team. Daily work will also include partnering closely with centralized and market-level sales, partnerships, programming, strategy, and corporate HQ teams.
