Who We Are

Within each Color Factory location, visitors are invited to experience the joy of color through interactive installations, immersive rooms, and carefully curated moments. Color Factory collaborates with artists, art institutions, nonprofits, and brand partners to tell compelling stories that make life just a little more joyful. Above all, Color Factory seeks to make art accessible for more people.

About the Onsite Team

We are passionate about tapping into the joy of color through the expression of art to create experiences that make people of all ages smile, connect, remember, and feel like kids again.

We believe in color’s unique ability to spark delight and to break down barriers so people can reconnect with themselves and others. Almost everyone could benefit from an injection of color and Color Factory’s aim is to not only provide it, but to make it accessible and approachable for all.

About the Role

As a Color Factory Facilities Manager you'll Preserve a consistent and high-quality guest experience by managing the maintenance and cleanliness of the physical space, overseeing the upkeep of installations to meet high visual standards, and ensuring the operational functionality of the building. You'll also:

Oversee the routine and preventative maintenance of the physical space to ensure everything from structural integrity to the functionality of utilities is maintained to high standards

Manage the care of exhibits and installations to ensure they are always in optimal condition, visually appealing, and functioning as intended

Partner with corporate Operations and external vendors to maintain and optimize the facility and exhibits, ensuring alignment with brand standards and safety regulations

Work with the corporate Experience team to support the installation of new exhibits and refresh existing ones

Oversee and mentor the Facilities team to foster skills and enhance performance, ensuring top-quality maintenance and operational efficiency

About You

You have the experience to navigate areas of expertise with confidence. You stay current with industry trends and practices, and can spot promising new ones on the horizon.

You continually consider how each idea enhances or detracts from the customer experience. You don't sacrifice the customer experience for the sake of convenience or efficiency. You raise concerns when the customer experience is potentially at risk, even in difficult situations or conversations.

You proactively seek opportunities to help individuals and the team get stronger. You don't hesitate to share developmental feedback and to provide encouragement when times are tough. You help others do more than they thought possible.

You are self motivated, resourceful, and proactive. You don't hide from problems or let them persist. You offer unsolicited help and support, and eagerly roll up your sleeves to pitch in wherever needed.

You can be counted on to see tasks through to completion. You can operate independently or with others to tie up loose ends and produce a successful outcome in line with company vision and standards.

You believe in and promote the company values, and embody our values in words and actions. You respect and honor the diversity of the entire community.
