Community Manager

About away

away is not your average coworking brand. We’re building intimate, design-forward, wellness-centered spaces for the future of work—where intentional people can gather, grow, and do meaningful work. Our first Bangalore hub launches this September.

We blend the structure of Grade A infrastructure with the soul of a cultural café. Think: sunlit floors, acoustic gigs, meditative mornings, and a rotating cast of thinkers and makers.

Role: Community & Operations Manager

🕐 Type: Full-time, on-ground

💼 Experience: 2–4 years in hospitality, events, coworking, or premium service roles

What You’ll Do:

• Be the welcoming face and energy-holder of the Away Bangalore hub
• Handle daily operations: checklists, opening/closing, issue resolution
• Manage vendors, housekeeping, pantry supplies, and maintenance tasks with precision
• Conduct onboarding, center tours, and assist members with day-to-day needs
• Organize and host relevant community events: mixers, wellness sessions, pop-ups (you should know what to host and when)
• Maintain the energy and culture of the space—visually, socially, spiritually
• Track and report basic metrics (occupancy, feedback, ops issues) while self-managing your workflow

Who You Are:

• Warm, confident, and thoughtful—someone who enjoys service and connection
• Background in hospitality (hotels, cafés, airlines, boutique coworking, retreats)
• Well-spoken, dependable, and great with both systems and people
• Not afraid of autonomy—you’ll have no daily boss, but you’ll be expected to own your space
• Curious, well-read, and maybe even spiritually grounded—you see work as a practice, not just a paycheck
• Calm in chaos. Cheerful in crisis. Quietly competent

What Makes Away Different- We’re experimenting with what it means to work well—and live well—inside a growing organization. Away is inspired by Teal principles:

• No top-down management—your voice matters, and decisions are often made collaboratively
• You’ll experience real autonomy, alongside deep trust and accountability
• We work with a strong sense of purpose and give space for you to bring your whole self to work

Expect a workplace that feels less like a corporate ladder and more like a living organism—self-managed, purpose-driven, and built on authentic relationships. You’ll learn not just how to operate a space—but how to grow one, together.

• Bonus If You...Have hosted events, built community, or worked in creative or wellness spaces
• Love structure but don’t need hand-holding
• Have a bit of a quirky side or interesting life story
• Are excited by the idea of helping shape a brand-new culture from scratch
