The impact you will have:

An integral and highly visible role within our Workplace Experience team, this is more than just a job. It’s an opportunity to build a career in a fast-paced, people-first environment. Reporting to the Workplace Operations Manager, you’ll partner with the Workplace Experience and Sustainability teams to run day-to-day operations and programs across our North American portfolio.

You’ll look after about 250,000 sq ft of space plus 15 flexible real estate markets. You’ll keep every office running smoothly, from the first work order to the last event, so our people can focus on their best work.

If you get energy from creating great environments and memorable experiences, you’ll feel right at home here.

What you’ll do:

• Manage day-to-day workplace activities across the portfolio and keep every facility maintained and provisioned to world-class standards
• Own our work order ticketing system: respond on time against department metrics, answer questions, escalate when needed and bring in external partners for repairs, audio visual (AV) support and more
• Partner with the Manager, Workplace Operations and landlord building teams to coordinate services and amenities, and share updates on closures and repairs with our people
• Manage vendors: make sure they meet contract service level agreements (SLAs), onboard new ones, set up purchase orders (POs) and be the point person for payment and invoicing issues
• Oversee providers for janitorial, HVAC and general maintenance, food and beverage, office supplies, interior biophilia, appliances, furniture, parking, pest control, movers and ergonomic adjustments
• Administer workplace accounting processes and documentation, manage parts of the Workplace budget template and suggest ways to work more efficiently
• Play a key role in small to medium operating expense (OPEX) projects, such as office refreshes, relocations and decommissions
• Support net-new workplace projects, including new offices and AV fit-outs, with design reviews that put function first to support how our teams work
• Manage and administer workplace technology, including AV, booking, digital signage and physical security systems, with vendors and our World Wide Technology (WWT) colleagues
• Support health, safety and wellness programs, and develop and maintain emergency response plans and teams that meet company and jurisdictional regulations
• Coordinate environmental sustainability programs with the Manager, Sustainability
• Run onboarding and offboarding needs with People and Growth, including the monthly new hire class, Workplace 101
• Plan and run events, from large meetings and conferences to social activities, with partners who help make each one easy and enjoyable
• Take on other similar duties as assigned

What you’ll bring to the table:

• 5+ years in workplace or facilities management in a similar environment (you’ve done this before, and you’re good at it)
• A proactive, “see it, solve it” mindset: you’re detail-oriented and self-driven, and you thrive on a team without regular supervision
• The ability to stay cool under pressure and adapt in a fast-moving, ever-changing environment
• A track record of creating, improving and maintaining workplace and facility processes (not just maintaining the status quo)
• Strong skills across the Microsoft suite
• Exceptional organization and multitasking: you love juggling priorities and keeping everything on track
• Experience with workplace tech (AV, booking systems, security platforms, etc.)
• A passion for customer service: you know it’s at the heart of a world-class employee experience
• Strong communication skills: clear, professional and full of personality
• A true team player and self-starter: you jump in, help out and make things happen
• Flexibility to support varied hours when needed
• Comfort handling heavy objects, 25 to 50 lbs
• Ability to work onsite five days a week at our new Toronto office
