About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Workplace Manager to join our Workplace Strategy & Operations team — which owns workplace, real estate, employee experience, and physical security globally. You will serve as our senior on-the-ground presence across our EMEA offices, owning daily operations in London and overseeing Berlin, while playing a significant role in our upcoming London office search and transition from co-working to a permanent space. You will report to the Head of Workplace and will be located onsite in London.
If you're based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, even if the role is listed as remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
What You Will Do:
- Own daily operations across our London and Berlin co-working locations — including access control, vendor management, food programs, facilities, and general services — maintaining a consistently high standard across both sites.
- Play a significant role in the London office search and transition: helping define space requirements, coordinating site visits, evaluating options, and supporting the build-out and move-in process in close partnership with the Head of Workplace, broader workplace team, IT/AV, Finance, and Legal.
- Own the employee experience across our EMEA offices — cultural programming, space activations, events, and onboarding moments that reflect Vercel's values.
- Serve as the regional point of contact for real estate matters, including lease considerations, space planning, and vendor relationships across both locations.
- Travel to Berlin on a regular basis (approximately quarterly) to maintain on-the-ground presence and ensure operational continuity.
- Partner cross-functionally with IT, Security, Legal, Finance, and People to coordinate services and contribute to global Workplace programs, team OKRs/KPIs, and special projects.
About You:
- 6+ years of experience in workplace operations, office management, or a related field, with demonstrated experience operating autonomously in a senior or standalone capacity.
- Proven experience contributing to office search, build-out, or lease transition processes — you know how to be an effective partner on real estate workstreams.
- Experience managing multiple office locations simultaneously, including serving as the primary point of escalation across sites.
- Track record of building or owning employee experience programs, including events, cultural programming, and in-office activations.
- Experience collaborating across functions and influencing senior stakeholders across time zones.
Bonus If You:
- Have managed a multi-site or multi-country portfolio in EMEA
- Have scaled workplace operations from co-working to a leased or owned office environment
- Have contributed to physical security programs
- Speak German (a genuine plus for Berlin, not required)
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- Flexible Time Off.
- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
