Front of House Assistant – I-HUB

About Us:

Scale Space is an exciting joint venture between Imperial College London (a global top 10 University) and Blenheim Chalcot (the UK’s leading digital venture builder) which is running three innovation centres including c.350,000 sq. ft in the heart of Imperial College’s White City Campus.

Scale Space is a scaleup community, providing access to the people, services and space businesses need to succeed. Our buildings foster ‘collisions’, collaboration and innovation between tenants, including facilitating access to Imperial College London’s research and talent, and to Blenheim Chalcot’s venture building expertise, as well as other universities such as the University of Nottingham.

Scale Space, in partnership with Imperial College London, manages the front of house and community aspects of Imperial’s I-HUB building, with an emphasis on the experience for new and existing members. As such we are looking for a passionate, driven individual with customer satisfaction at the heart of their thinking to help us deliver on our vision for the I-HUB building.

The I-HUB provides fully fitted and bespoke laboratory and office space to accommodate commercial R&D activities, across c.175,000 sq. ft. The I-HUB supports knowledge-intensive companies and the commercialisation of scientific research by providing a home for businesses from around the globe to scale their business and work directly alongside Imperial's world-leading academics. Through this co-location model, businesses, entrepreneurs and world-class researchers can share ideas and turn scientific and technological discoveries into new products and services.
