Résumé du poste

ALSO seeks a Sr Manager, Real Estate & Workplace to lead a multi-site portfolio from its Palo Alto HQ, overseeing offices, R&D labs, and retail spaces. You will drive strategy, governance, and program delivery with IT, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Purchasing partners.

The role focuses on space planning, budget management, and vendor governance, with on-call support for after-hours issues and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of progressive real estate, workplace, or facilities operations experience, with demonstrated growth into leadership.
• Track record leading teams and acting as trusted second-in-command.
• Comfortable partnering across IT, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Purchasing, and communicating credibly from AHJs to executives.
• Working knowledge of commercial leases, vendor contracts, and budget/financial management.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities; adaptable to new technology, software, and AI-assisted tools.
• Familiarity with EHS, physical security concepts, and specialized lab/R&D infrastructure preferred (this role partners with a dedicated EHS & Security Manager rather than owning those programs directly).
• Experience scaling high-tech, EV, or R&D lab environments strongly preferred.
• Able to respond to occasional off-hours emergencies.

Responsabilités

• Lead the Real Estate & Workplace team (operations, facilities, mail, logistics, culinary, janitorial) as deputy lead, balancing competing priorities with long-term focus.
• Manage projects end to end, including portfolio administration, R&D lab build-outs, workplace programs, and occupancy data.
• Own headcount and occupancy analysis, turning hiring plans and growth into space strategy, capacity models, and scenarios.
• Drive long-range workplace strategy and partner with Finance and Analytics on forecasting and tradeoff recommendations to leadership.
• Manage vendors, consultants, landlords, and GCs with negotiation and financial accountability.
• Own budget tracking, forecasting, and RFPs with Purchasing and Finance, and oversee lease transactions end to end with Legal and Risk.
• Act as the connective tissue across IT, Engineering, Purchasing, Finance, Legal/Compliance, Analytics, and G&A.
• Support Executive Assistants on space, logistics, and events, and communicate credibly with landlords, brokers, executives, and building inspectors.
• Coordinate lab infrastructure and equipment installs with Engineering and vendors.
• Partner with the IT and EHS & Security Manager on life-safety and compliance, and serve as a point of contact for after-hours facilities emergencies.
• Implement standard PM frameworks, ticketing, and KPI/milestone dashboards.
• Adopt new technology and AI-assisted tools to streamline workflows as the portfolio grows.
