Why Worksmith

We work hard and play hard.

The market opportunity for facility management is $50B and we’re disrupting it. From years of experience working with technology startups and enterprise operations managers, we knew there was a better way to find, hire, and manage service providers with smart technology, and we set out to build it.

Starting from the ground-up, we’ve come a long way: we have signed marquee customers including J.Crew, Bonobos, Rent The Runway, Tory Burch, Rag & Bone, Nespresso and Christian Louboutin. We’ve grown to service over 1,000 brick and mortar locations across the US and Canada. And our network of local service providers is +4,000 strong and growing.

We’ve accomplished all of this and had fun doing it - we promote the phenomenal Austin lifestyle and enjoy team lunches with Franklin BBQ, foodie tours of East Austin, and ACL Festival.

We’re team players.

Worksmith is a team environment - We cannot build this company without each and every team member, and we’re looking for people who jump at the chance to get in the game.

We rise to the occasion.

We’ve come a long way, and we have a lot to do. We’re looking for those ready to lead by example: early risers willing to come in early when needed, night owls willing to staying late to excel through the sprint, and masters of efficiency who find ways to do more, better, faster, and more creatively.

This isn’t a job - it’s an opportunity to build something great.

If you’re ready and willing to roll up your sleeves, now is the time. We’ve called the plays, set our sights on company-wide goals, and are determined to achieve them. This is an exciting opportunity to grow the company and your career along with it.

Overview of Product Manager

From our mobile app used by client and vendors to our internal portal used by the Worksmith team, our business runs on software.  Our team is responsible for ensuring that we are building the right features in a timely fashion.

Being a Product Manager at Worksmith means getting your hands dirty to truly understand the business.  For example, you might:
