Morning creates shared workspaces and everything that goes with them. To achieve this, we draw on every kind of expertise: fit-out, architecture, design, management, events... So many skills, all brought in-house within the team.
2022 brings decisive challenges in terms of recruitment. By December, 13 new workspaces will also be opening their doors. To support this expansion, we need to recruit nearly 60 talents by the end of 2022, across all fields. Morning would thereby pass the 250-employee mark.
Recruiting that many people is a real challenge. Some roles attract only a small number of applications. For every position to be filled, we have to find the right fit. Far beyond technical skills, it's a personality that will be chosen. Recruiting employees with disabilities isn't straightforward, and it's up to us to present the various positions to be filled more clearly, so that we're able to welcome every possible profile.
Morning manager and barista,
bringing a good working day to life within our spaces
Every Morning space has an atmosphere all of its own. A multitude of spaces with different occupants, but one shared desire: to give everyone a good working day.
Morning Manager, space entrepreneur
Each Morning space is overseen by one or more managers. Far more than administrators, Morning managers bring their community to life and spark interactions between the various occupants.
Lauranne Plaindoux is the Morning manager of the Montparnasse tower space, the highest shared workspace in Paris. “My role isn’t limited to the administrative and operational management of the space; it’s also about bringing occupants together. Bringing the community to life and organising events that unite people is essential to fostering good interactions at work.” The Morning manager’s role also has a commercial side. “As well as taking great care of the members, part of my role is to fill the space. I also give office tours to companies looking to move in!”.
Barista, artist of coffee
Half of the Morning spaces have a coffee bar run by baristas. They offer a range of hot drinks and pastries of all kinds. For lunch, a selection of hot and cold dishes is also served.
The barista builds bonds with the occupants. Thanks to its flexibility, the 30-hour permanent contract gives the barista a great deal of freedom. A contract of this kind allows baristas to pursue outside activities, whether he or she is an author, a choreographer or a therapist.
Mathilde Florance, barista at the Artois space, is also a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. She is likewise the author of Le choix dans les dates, a compilation of comical anecdotes about dates. Clément Ropers is the barista at the coffee bar at Cléry. Alongside this, he is a singer, actor, musician, dancer and choreographer. Lucile Ighil pursues something quite different, in the field of complementary medicine. A barista at the rue d’Artois space, she practises foot reflexology and Chi Nei Tsang on the side. This therapy, derived from Chinese medicine, offers a detoxifying abdominal massage, in which Lucile has been an expert for almost 3 years.
Broker and lead generator,
developing the business and filling the spaces
The sales team is split into two units: on one side, the "Central" team in direct contact with clients, and on the other, the "Brokers" team, who work with intermediaries to find new clients.
Lead generator, commercial lever for the marketing and communications team
The lead generation manager works within the marketing and communications team and is in direct contact with the sales team. Their main mission is to land new prospects.
Their prospecting runs through various channels: email campaigns, acquisition marketing, professional events, and the management and running of client databases. Forging lasting B2B partnerships, analysing performance and following up prospects with the sales team are also part of the role.
Broker, salesperson working with providers
Brokers are partner providers of Morning, and the salespeople in Morning's "Brokers" unit deal with these same intermediaries in order to meet clients' needs.
They gauge demand for workspaces and pass it on to the Morning team. Célia Eberlé is a salesperson in the brokers unit on a work-study placement. She works directly with external intermediary agents to meet clients' expectations. “Day to day, I receive requests from brokers and their clients. I then put a proposal to them on one or more spaces that might suit their needs straight away”, she points out. “If they like it, we go on a viewing, and if the client is won over, we sign the contract!”.
Full-stack developer,
to work on the app, the website and our SaaS software
To offer occupants an optimal experience and make internal management easier, a range of digital tools are being developed. Between long-term projects and those already under way, there is plenty on the go.
Interfaces developed for the long term
Morning develops 3 digital products that are essential to the business. An app for the users of the workspaces (built and programmed using the React Native and GraphQL development tools), a SaaS software to manage the spaces (written in PHP and built on Symfony) and a website (created on the no-code platform Webflow).
For Morgane Legros, the full-stack developer's role doesn’t stop at developing these 3 products. “The fit-out team manages large stocks of furniture and materials. To make operations easier, a stock-management tool is being built.”
Innovative projects
Morning's environmental thinking pushes the teams to develop, among other things, a range of eco-designed furniture, and the digital tools are part of it too. To this end, a challenge was set for the developers. "A new tool is being developed. It will make it possible to track the environmental impact of the eco-designed furniture range. That's why each piece of furniture will have an eco-score taking into account its manufacture, its use and its reuse.”
Accounts-payable accountant,
to manage the company's accounts
The operations of Morning's 3 main activities - namely the bespoke creation of flexible offices, fit-out and events - are managed by the administrative and finance team.
Accountant, payable or receivable
The accounts-payable or accounts-receivable accountant works closely with the head of accounting and the head of strategy and finance. The role is predominantly accounting-focused, but offers the chance to work on other topics (coworking spaces, real estate, digital tools).
Managing sales and unpaid invoices, entering one-off invoices and taking part in monthly and quarterly closings are the main tasks of the role. The accountant also supervises a work-study student, so a taste for passing on knowledge and for teaching is essential.
Space designers,
to create singular worlds
While the Morning identity must be unmistakable in each of our spaces, every one of them offers a distinct, singular world. To develop these interior worlds, Morning regularly recruits art directors and cabinetmakers. All profiles that might appeal to students at ENSA Belleville, ENSA La Villette, Boulle, Camondo and ENSAD Paris. A word to the wise!
Art director, decorative designer and brand identity
The art director is part of the fit-out team. Their mission is to embed the Morning identity into the spaces. Creation is at the heart of the role: brand journey, signage, printing, decorative murals and artwork. Managing external printers, artists and craftspeople is also part of the job.
Amandine Jasawant is art director and head of the brand's visual identity within the spaces. “I also work closely with the interior architects so that every space enjoys a bespoke fit-out. Above all, we create worlds within the spaces! The only prerequisite: capturing the brand's DNA, in warm and welcoming workspaces. My aim is to put in place, in each space, the intangible, recognisable elements of Morning, particularly in the signage.”
Cabinetmaker, craftsperson of the workspaces
Morning has brought a joinery and cabinetmaking workshop into the Gallieni space in order to make the bespoke furniture and the prototypes of our eco-designed range. Coffee bars, reception desks, bookcases, meeting tables…
Soline Bourgeot, joiner-cabinetmaker, works at the Gallieni workshop. “Our mission as cabinetmakers is to meet the need for bespoke furniture (coffee bars, benches, bookcases). From design to manufacture through to installation on site, we support the teams through every space opening.”
To smooth the manufacturing process, the cabinetmakers communicate with the fit-out team every day. “We work a great deal with the interior architects, designers and site managers. We design the spaces hand in hand, always with an eco-design approach in mind”.
