Our values

The Member Experience Specialist will occasionally be the first point of contact for many people, and will be curating their first impression of our community and our space, and should strive to embody the values of District.

  • Celebrate Everyone’s Success – Success breeds success. We are better when we aren’t the smartest person in the room. Your neighbor’s success is your success; and vice versa. At District, we celebrate it all because it’s all part of the journey.
  • Contribute Where You Can – Small steps make up a mile and every little bit helps. If you can make something better, do it.
  • Believe in People – District attracts the best talent and fuels community-driven learning and development because it’s the people within the ecosystem that create the collisions that spark ideas hat turn into something bigger.

  • Refresh kitchen and conference rooms: ensuring all of the amenities provided are in good working condition – refilling coffee machines, running and emptying dishwashers, wiping down counters and booths, refreshing conference rooms after use and periodically assisting the porter team with restroom sanitization needs.
  • Demonstrate understanding, integrity, dependability, responsibility, accountability, self-awareness, work ethic and empathy, alongside exceptional organizational and multi-tasking skills
