The PT Temporary Brand Ambassador is the associate in charge of greeting, welcoming, and assisting employees, tenants, owners, guests, and visitors to Hudson Yards; 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 the Hudson Yards 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 the Public Square and Gardens, and near entrances to The Shops and Restaurants.

Building Information: Located at the northwest corner of 33rd Street and 10th Avenue and spanning an entire city block, 50 Hudson Yards is New York City's fourth largest commercial office tower:

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 conversation with the guest. 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 Hudson Yards, and for following up with customers as they conclude their visit.

In short, brand ambassadors are the first and last Hudson Yards associate every customer encounters as they enter and leave the neighborhood.
