Overview
The Workplace Experience Partner designs and delivers an exceptional onsite experience by owning daily office operations, vendor relationships, health and safety and space planning; they partner with facilities and cross‑functional teams to ensure sites run smoothly, drive improvements that scale across locations, and create an inclusive, welcoming environment where employees can do their best work.
The Workplace Experience Partner is the heartbeat of our sites — the person who ensures our teams feel supported, connected, and able to do their best work. You’ll blend operational excellence with a people‑first mindset, creating an environment where employees feel proud to come into the office.
This role sits at the intersection of culture, operations, and site engagement. You’ll work closely with the Program and Event’s team and Microsoft’s central facilities teams while owning the day‑to‑day experience of your site. It’s a role for someone who thrives in autonomy, enjoys solving problems before they become problems, and can flex between strategic thinking and hands‑on execution.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Own
Office Operations: Ensure smooth daily operations across the site, supplies, meeting spaces, security coordination, and general site rhythm.
Vendor Management: Work with onsite vendors (catering, cleaning, security, events, etc.) to ensure high‑quality service and strong partnerships.
Health & Safety: Maintain compliance, run safety programs, and champion a safe, inclusive workplace.
Space Planning: Partner with Microsoft facilities teams on space design, moves, expansions, and occupancy planning.
Cross‑Functional Liaison: Act as the connective tissue between Microsoft AI teams, central facilities, and other internal partners.
Who You Are
Kind, approachable, and able to build trust with people at every level.
Confident leading initiatives and driving them to completion without needing heavy oversight.
Comfortable supporting teams ranging from 100 to 500 people — and adjusting your approach accordingly.
Experienced in both scrappy, fast‑paced environments (start‑up/scale‑up) and structured, complex organisations.
Energised by autonomy and ownership. You don’t wait to be told; you anticipate, act, and improve.
A natural problem solver who enjoys making things work better than you found them.
A team player who collaborates well across functions and geographies.
Qualifications
We’re open to a range of experiences, but you’ll likely have spent time in roles such as:
Executive Assistant
Workplace/Office Manager
Hospitality or guest‑experience leadership
Project or program management
Start‑up or scale‑up operations
Tech or high‑growth environments
Experience supporting organisations through rapid growth, change, or IPO‑level scaling is a plus.
What Success Looks Like
Employees feel supported, welcomed, and proud of their workplace.
The site runs smoothly with minimal friction and maximum clarity.
You build strong relationships with vendors and internal partners.
You spot issues early and solve them before they impact the team.
You elevate the culture through thoughtful, inclusive initiatives.
You bring consistency across sites while respecting local needs.
