Description:
EDAS is launching a premium coworking and managed/furnished executive office space in Islamabad. We're hiring a Coworking Space Manager to lead this launch — building pre-launch sales, setting up the team, and running the space once it opens. You'll also help drive sales for our other coworking locations in Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK, which are already up and running — your involvement there is on the sales side only.
Key Responsibilities
Pre-Launch & Launch
- Lead pre-launch sales: build a pipeline of corporate and long-term tenants and close leasing/membership agreements before the space opens
- Position the space's USPs (location, design, amenities, flexibility) to corporates, startups, and remote/international teams
- Coordinate with design/fit-out vendors to make sure the delivered space matches what's being sold
- Hire, train, and manage the front-desk, sales, and facilities team needed to run the space
- Set up SOPs for sales, member onboarding, billing, and daily operations
Ongoing Operations
- Own occupancy and revenue targets post-launch
- Manage member relationships, retention, and renewals
- Oversee facility upkeep and vendor contracts (cleaning, IT, security, maintenance)
- Identify and launch new revenue lines — meeting room rentals, virtual offices, event hosting, and similar add-ons
Growth & Partnerships
- Bring in international clients — remote teams, digital nomads, and companies looking for a Pakistan-based satellite office or local presence
- Build partnerships and collaborations with other companies/brands to expand the range of services offered (e.g., co-branded events, referral partnerships, complementary service providers)
- Support sales efforts for our Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK locations alongside your main Islamabad focus
- Report on pipeline, occupancy, and revenue on a regular cadence
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years' experience, with direct experience working in coworking or flexible workspace operations — this is a must, not a nice-to-have
- Proven B2B sales/leasing track record — able to bring in a signed pipeline, not just manage inbound leads
- Experience managing a team and running day-to-day operations
- Demonstrated ability to acquire international clients and build company-to-company partnerships
- Comfortable working in a pre-launch, build-it-yourself environment
- Strong communication and negotiation skills
