STORY SPACE ASSOCIATE

Cleaning Associate – Part-Time

Company Description

At Story we are passionate about providing individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations the space, community, and resources they need to build sustainable and scalable businesses. We offer a unique and powerful ecosystem of resources, inspiration, and collaborative opportunities designed to support innovation and positive social impact. As a coworking space in Louisville’s vibrant NuLu neighborhood, we serve some of the most inspiring individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations in the city.

We are a small, close-knit team that cares deeply about the experience of every person who walks through our doors. Our Cleaning Associate plays a vital role in making that experience possible — and your work will directly shape the first impression people have when they arrive.

About the Role

As a part of our space maintenance team, you’re the behind-the-scenes force that makes everything click.
