  • Manage building systems including access control, security infrastructure, conference room technology coordination, and fire/life safety equipment
  • Partner with Accounting on forecasting and capital planning related to facilities investments
  • Ensure compliance with building codes, fire safety requirements, physical security standards, and local regulatory obligations
  • Lead emergency preparedness efforts and respond to urgent facilities-related incidents
  • Track and report facilities metrics (cost per square foot, vendor performance, project timelines, utilization) and drive continuous improvement
  • Partner with People Operations, Office Management, and Operations leadership to align space planning with workforce needs
