Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Housekeeping Leader for Freehand Los Angeles.
Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love.
