Body Art & Health Compliance Coordination: Partner with the Licensing, Regulation + Leasing Administrator, Project Manager and General Contractor to evaluate physical build out requirements associated with health inspections and body art regulations.

Engage with vendor(s) to initiate new contract addendums for new studios as they open.
Vendor & Contract Management: Maintain organized vendor contracts and track insurance certificates (COIs) for all trade partners.
Facilities Work Order Platform: In coordination with the Senior Facilities Manager, maintain and update all data for active studios + active vendor partners.

Experience we're looking for:

Minimum 3+ years of experience in a similar position (Project Coordinator, Facilities Coordinator, Retail Store Operations or Commercial Real Estate Administration)

Working knowledge of commercial construction processes, standard closeout documentation (lien waivers, certificates of occupancy), and landlord tenant allowance collections.

Familiarity with retail facility maintenance, commercial service trades (cleaning, HVAC, plumbing), or health department/body art permitting is a strong plus.

High proficiency in digital tools: Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides), Microsoft Excel, and project/work order management software.

Strong organizational, tracking, and detail-oriented skills with high accuracy in handling financial paperwork, vendor invoices, and compliance records.

Exceptional communication skills with the ability to interface diplomatically with general contractors, commercial landlords, field teams, and external trades.
