Facilities Manager

We're looking for a strategic Facilities Manager to lead our global workplace footprint as we grow into new markets. You'll own our facilities roadmap — site strategy, budgeting, and major projects like buildouts and new office openings — while managing a team of regional office managers who handle day-to-day execution. This role suits someone with global or multi-site facilities experience who's ready to build scalable systems rather than run daily operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead space planning and site strategy for new office openings, expansions, and consolidations, partnering with Finance, Legal, and executive leadership on lease negotiations, site selection, and capital planning.

• Manage and mentor a team of office managers across regions, setting standards, providing coaching, and ensuring consistent execution of workplace programs globally.

• Build and maintain scalable facilities frameworks (playbooks, vendor standards, safety protocols) that regional office managers can execute locally.

• Ensure all office locations comply with local labor, safety, and building regulations, partnering with Legal and local teams to navigate country-specific requirements as we expand into new markets.

• Serve as the senior escalation point for complex, cross-regional facilities issues.

• Develop the facilities budget in partnership with Finance and leadership; manage facility budget and operational costs across all sites.

• Lead major projects such as office buildouts, relocations, or new market entries end-to-end — planning, budgeting, stakeholder alignment, and delivery.

• Partner with Office Managers and the People team to shape a workplace experience — for employees and visitors alike — that reflects and reinforces our culture, from day-to-day environment to how we welcome guests and celebrate milestones.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5-8 years in facilities or workplace strategy, with proven experience managing multi-site office portfolio — not limited to a single-location operational role.

• Demonstrated success building and scaling workplace strategy in step with business growth, ideally in a high-growth tech company.

• Strong project management skills, with experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives (office buildouts, relocations, market entries) from planning through delivery.

• Experience managing a team with coaching, developing, and setting direction for office managers or similar direct reports.

• Experience negotiating leases, vendor contracts, and master service agreements at a portfolio level.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with global or international office operations, including regional compliance, cultural, and logistical considerations.

• Demonstrated experience designing and executing campus events and daily activities, in partnership with internal stakeholders, to foster a high-energy, engaged workplace.

• Comfortable operating with ambiguity, translating high-level business/geo strategy into concrete facilities plans.
