THE SANDBOX Santa Barbara
Cowork Trade Program
THE SANDBOX Cowork Work Trade positions are specialized positions that help us fill gaps on our team. We ask for a six month commitment from Cowork Trade team members, and fill roles on a rolling basis.
In exchange for 4 hours/week of work, we are offering a coworking membership and two hours of meeting room time at THE SANDBOX per month. You’ll be able to access the space and all of its amenities exactly the same as any other SANDBOX member.
Responsibilities for all work trade positions include:
- At least 4 hours/week working at THE SANDBOX. You’ll have a host shift that will help us extend our coverage hours and build our connections with the community.
- Answering general questions about THE SANDBOX.
You’ll be one of the first faces that people see when they enter THE SANDBOX, and you’ll be trained to be an expert on how we work, or goals and our memberships and event space. You’ll enjoy connecting to as you answer any questions that people may have. - Leading an occasional walk-in, or scheduled, tour of the space.
We’ll try to schedule all tours when our owner or staff is on site, but on occasion a potential member might want to see the space without scheduling a tour. You’ll be part of the team and help show them the space and explain why it may be a good fit for their business. - Keeping THE SANDBOX clean and ready
Our space can have a lot of hustle and bustle, and you will always be on the lookout for an empty coffee pot, or a stray coffee mug or other things left on tables, or workspaces. We take pride in keeping the space ready to go, clean and tidy!
Work trade candidates should:
- Be interested in small business, entrepreneurship and innovation. Most of our members will be running some sort of small business out of the space or working for innovative companies! These subjects will be on everyone’s minds and we hope they will be on yours too.
- Be outgoing and curious about our space and members. Coworking spaces are social spaces, so you’ll need to be interested in getting to know who else is in the space.
- Be interested in what is happening in Santa Barbara, the central coast and the local neighborhood. Visitors may ask you for advice on where to go in the areas we are located, and you should have a few good spots up your sleeve.
