- Driving workplace transformation, design and change initiatives aligned to business needs
- Overseeing workplace projects, space planning and workplace optimisation
- Using data, smart building technology and workplace insights to inform strategic decision-making
- Managing key supplier relationships and contracts to deliver exceptional service and value
- Owning workplace governance, policies, processes and performance reporting
- Leading continuous improvement initiatives that enhance engagement and service adoption
- Managing budgets and ensuring efficient investment across workplace experience programmes
This is a highly visible leadership role with the opportunity to make a lasting impact on how thousands of colleagues experience the workplace.
What We're Looking For:
We're looking for an experienced workplace leader who combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. You'll be someone who enjoys influencing senior stakeholders, solving complex challenges and creating workplace experiences that truly make a difference.
You'll bring:
- Significant experience leading workplace, facilities or employee experience functions within a complex organisation
- A strong track record of delivering workplace transformation, office moves, redesigns or space optimisation projects
- Experience working across outsourced service models and managing multiple suppliers and contracts
- Excellent stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and build credibility at senior levels
- Strong commercial acumen, including budget ownership and governance oversight
- Experience using workplace data, reporting and technology to drive decision-making and continuous improvement
- A passion for creating outstanding employee experiences and service excellence
- Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
Ideally, you'll also have experience within a professional services, legal or similarly fast-paced corporate environment.
If you're excited by the opportunity to shape the future workplace, influence business-wide change and deliver exceptional experiences for employees and clients alike, we'd love to hear from you.
