What are the responsibilities and job description for the Workplace Services Rotational Coordinator position at janestreet?
About the Position
We're looking for a curious, hospitality-minded professional to join our Workplace Services team in New York through our rotational program. This is a role designed for someone who's excited to learn the many moving parts that make Jane Street a great place to work—and who finds it energizing, rather than daunting, to switch contexts and pitch in wherever the need is greatest.
Over the course of the approximately 18-month program, you'll move through several of our Workplace Services groups, spending time where an extra set of capable hands will have the most impact. We anticipate roughly three to five rotations, though the specifics are still taking shape and may evolve. Depending on business needs, rotations may include Travel, Events, Desk Administration, Front of House, the Conference Center, Food Services, and Workplace Services Operations.
A big part of the job will be getting to know the people and processes across Workplace Services and helping to bring our groups closer together. When the program wraps, you'll either join one of our Workplace Services teams full time or continue in a generalist role, depending on team needs and your own strengths and interests.
Additional responsibilities of this role will include:
- Providing hands-on support across Workplace Services groups as priorities shift, with genuine ownership over the work in each rotation
- Owning a defined area of focus in each rotation while taking on ad hoc, department-wide tasks as needs arise
- Keeping trackers, schedules, expense reports, and records accurate and organized, and following up to close the loop on outstanding items
- Building relationships across teams and acting as a connective thread that helps our groups collaborate and share best practices
- Spotting small process improvements and surfacing them as you learn how each group works
About You
- Have 1-3 years of experience in workplace services, hospitality, events, operations, or other relevant areas
- Have excellent attention to detail and exceptional follow-through on outstanding tasks
- A fluent context switcher who can juggle competing—and sometimes conflicting—priorities with a calm, organized approach
- Curious by nature, with a genuine eagerness to understand how things work and why
- Humble about what you do and don't know, and comfortable asking questions and learning as you go
- A strong written and verbal communicator
- Comfortable working with spreadsheets to keep information organized (you don't need to be a power user, just willing to learn)
- Have a "no job too small," hospitality-forward attitude and a genuine enthusiasm for helping people and solving problems
- A strong collaborator with excellent interpersonal skills; you are able to work effectively with many different stakeholders and have a reliable, flexible presence the team can count on
