Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.
Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.
As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.
We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.
Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
The Workplace team seeks a motivated office coordinator and receptionist to care for our Planet employees. From the moment an employee or guest walks through the door, you ensure they feel welcomed, supported, and inspired.
Planet’s culture ties heavily to our physical office, our “mothership,” and keeping it running smoothly will be your job! Sitting in the People/Experience team, this junior role at Planet shapes our employee engagement and guest experience, providing one-of-a-kind touches, signifying that all have entered an amazing community.
In addition to overseeing all tactical office and vendor management, you will also be part of designing opportunities to build relationships and foster teamwork in person. The workforce has a consistent and growing office presence, and you will help shape what it’s like to be a “Planeteer.” Creating and gauging interest in new community programming, providing opportunities to socialize in person or virtually, and executing unique events to connect.
We invite you to join our team if you have a combination of excellent customer service skills, a hands-on attitude, and a passion for efficient procedures and policies. Your personal motto is to be “proactive and not reactive,” and you pride yourself on handling multiple concerns at once, all while being composed in pressure situations. You will join a solid team, where collaboration is required, and where Planet’s company and culture takes precedence over all else. This is a junior level opportunity, where someone can grow within the Planet team.
This is a full-time, in-office position based in our Berlin office 5 days per week.
Impact You’ll Own:
- Act as the first point of contact for all visitors, customers, and employees, providing a warm, professional, and uniquely "Planet" welcome.
- Oversee the daily flow of the office, ensuring common areas, meeting rooms, and reception are always guest-ready and functional.
- Act as the office procurement specialist. You’ll own the inventory for office supplies, branded swag, and food and beverage stocks.
- Manage workplace services including daily catering/food ordering and office service vendors to ensure seamless delivery.
- Support leadership to analyze historical data and occupancy trends to help forecast the future needs of our Berlin workspace.
- Imagine and execute programming — events and initiatives that align with our mission of sustainability and global impact.
- Be a teammate that others want to follow. You’ll collaborate actively with Facilities and Workplace Managers to solve problems creatively and maintain a high-energy, positive atmosphere.
- Other duties as the role evolves.
What You Bring:
- Professional experience in high-touch environments such as hospitality, front-of-house restaurant management, event planning, or high-level administrative support.
- Bilingual in English and German. You can switch seamlessly between both languages in professional writing and spoken conversation. (Note: Our internal business language is English).
- Comfortable navigating office software, vendor portals, and basic data tracking to keep the office running efficiently.
What Makes You Stand Out:
- You can manage ten tasks at once without ever dropping a ball or letting the "stress" show to the end-user. You thrive in a dynamic environment.
- You have a genuine appreciation for humankind. You understand how to communicate effectively with diverse personalities and cultures—reminding us all that "we are in this together."
- You want to make the office a better place, but never at the expense of mother Earth. You look for green solutions in procurement and programming.
- You aren’t afraid to ask “why" or "how can we do this better?" You have a keen sense of curiosity and a hunger to learn.
- You believe in the power of teamwork. You understand that our diverse skill sets should complement one another to create a result greater than the sum of its parts.
