Workplace Experience Brand Ambassador

Responsibilities

Related Ross is the brain, heart and soul of downtown West Palm. We are a collaborative force driven by expertise, ingenuity and passion. We pay attention to our tenants and guests in a way that shatters tradition. We understand who they need us to be and where they need us to be, even before they do. Equipped with an ever expanding range of amenities and resources, we strive to help our tenants be productive and happy. Wherever we are today, we are committed to be in a better place tomorrow. Where do we draw the line? We don’t.

The Brand Ambassador is the associate in charge of greeting, welcoming, and assisting employees, tenants, owners, guests, and visitors throughout multiple Related Southeast Commercial properties; they set the tone of the experience each customer is going to have as they cross the property’s threshold. The Brand Ambassador post is positioned strategically throughout neighborhood to best serve the customers who visit and experience it. The post may be in the plaza of their specific building, when the weather allows, or right inside the revolving doors of their lobbies during inclement weather. Other posts are in our Guest Services center and/or CityPlace.

In addition to setting the tone, brand ambassadors curate experiences for our customers, weaving together meaningful activities based on what they have learned during their interactions with guests. The brand ambassador is responsible for driving foot traffic into our properties, generating interest in our retailers and the product and services they offer, making dinner reservations, speaking about featured artists, securing ground transportation to and from our office collection, and for following up with customers as they conclude their visit. In short, brand ambassadors are the first and last team member every customer encounters as they enter and leave the neighborhood.
