- Ensure all facilities meet local regulations, safety standards, and company policies; partner with cross-functional teams to stay ahead of changing requirements.
- Partner with the Global Operations Center on crisis scenarios (natural disasters, evacuations, pandemics) and ensure the team executes business continuity plans.
- Manage vendor and contractor relationships for food, beverages, and essential services including contract administration, renewals, RFPs, and ongoing service level assessments.
- Collaborate with Real Estate on lease renewals, new builds, and renovations to ensure smooth day-one operations.
- Use occupancy data, employee surveys, and spend analysis to develop workplace strategies and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Own the annual operating budget, including financial variance tracking and cost-saving initiatives that maintain service quality.
- Lead change management for workplace initiatives, communicating clearly and consistently with stakeholders throughout.
- Deliver regular updates to senior leadership on operations, project progress, and KPIs; maintain strong relationships with executive stakeholders.
- Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners, landlords, vendors, and contractors across time zones and regions.
- Partner with the Sustainability Team to identify and implement environmental improvements across office locations.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of Workplace leadership experience managing teams across multiple countries and organizational levels.
- Leadership: Proven ability to mentor and develop team members, build cross-functional partnerships, and drive a high-performance culture. Comfortable setting goals, pivoting quickly, and managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to present clearly to all levels, including senior executives. Strong interpersonal skills and a relationship-first approach.
- Organization & Execution: Highly organized and detail-oriented; thrives in fast-paced environments and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
- Problem Solving: Proactive and solutions-oriented, with sound judgment and the ability to anticipate needs and act independently when required.
- Vendor Management: Experience managing infrastructure service providers (custodial, catering, maintenance, etc.).
- Project Management: Demonstrated ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects from planning through completion, including office construction and renovation logistics.
- Budget Management: Proficient in budget development, financial planning, and procurement/sourcing processes.
- Technology: Hands-on with Google Suite, Jira, Coupa, Slack, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Sigma. Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills.
- Flexibility: Able to work in-office 5 days a week, travel ~10%, and work overnight shifts (Monday–Friday).
