About Industrious
Industrious is one of the largest and most respected premium flexible workplace platforms in the world. Since 2013 we've grown to more than 250 locations across 85+ cities globally, creating hospitalityโled workplaces designed to make the day feel easier, calmer, and more supported for individuals and teams of all sizes.
From private offices and turnkey suites to meeting rooms and onโdemand coworking, our flexible offerings are built for better workdays. We also partner with enterprise organizations and property owners to shape workplaces, streamline operations, and elevate the workplace experience at scale.
In 2025 we became part of CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate firm, where we sit in its Building Operations & Experience segment, which gives us access to a global landlord network, enterprise client base, and enhanced capital capabilities.
With the business growing fast and performance at record highs, we're looking for the right person to take the helm and build on this momentum.
The role
Weโre hiring a Chief Executive Officer to lead Industrious through its next chapter. Reporting to Jamie Hodari, our coโfounder who now leads CBREโs Building Operations & Experience segment, you will hold full P&L responsibility and set its strategic direction.
The role requires balancing profitable growth and unit economics, leveraging CBREโs scale, and retaining Industriousโs culture. It calls for someone who can read the future of flexible work and commercial real estate, allocate capital, build new models, and evolve the business.
It also means operating comfortably inside a global public company while protecting the entrepreneurial velocity and warmth of a founderโbuilt organization. The CEO will represent Industrious to landlords, enterprise clients, and the broader real estate community, steward a culture of warmth, rigor, and high standards, and build the leadership team to carry it there.
