Our Mission:

Our mission is to change the world within the workplace, elevating the quality of life for our members and enabling teams to build in new and creative ways. Our community lifts individuals, facilitates learning, and is creating a collective that is capable of things we cannot imagine. Kiln is a flex ­office and lifestyle brand. We deliver an exceptional experience that elevates the performance and lifestyle of our members through an ecosystem of people, products, places and spaces.

About The Role:

The Area Success Manager (ASM) is a member of Kiln’s Business Development team who drives revenue for our Kiln Fremont and Kiln Bellevue locations. The ASM works side by side with the Community Director or Community Manager at each location to bring new businesses to Kiln and to keep and grow the members already there.

The role centers on Kiln's highest value memberships: private offices and studios. The ASM builds pipeline through local partnerships, broker relationships and outbound prospecting; leading tours for prospective members; manages opportunities through to signed agreements; and meets regularly with key members to renew and expand their memberships. The ASM also helps their community team peers strengthen the sales and member-care fundamentals of their roles.

This role is not tied to a single desk. It suits someone who likes being out in the community, builds relationships easily, and wants to own a number, with room to grow within Kiln's Business Development team.

Goals and Objectives:

Achieve or exceed quarterly new-revenue and occupancy targets for each assigned location, with an emphasis on private offices and studios

Grow Net Revenue Retention (NRR) across assigned locations through retention, renewals and upsells

Maintain a healthy pipeline at each location, with every open opportunity accurately staged and carrying a scheduled next step

Set a quarterly revenue plan for each location with its Community Director or Manager and Business Development leadership

Measurably improve the sales and retention effectiveness of the community teams they support

Model Kiln’s core values in every interaction with members, partners and teammates
