About the Role
As DoorDash’s Head of Workplace Experience, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our global workplace ecosystem. We’re seeking a highly-strategic and data-driven leader to design and implement a workplace strategy that fosters an exceptional employee experience, drives local culture, and fuels collaboration and connection in our offices. You will partner closely with peers across our Real Estate, Security, IT, Employee Experience, and Administrative teams to ensure our offices are intuitive, welcoming, and inclusive spaces where employees can thrive.
DoorDash’s Workplace Experience team manages 25 corporate offices, coworking spaces, and DoorDash Labs facilities across the U.S., Latin America and Australasia, with responsibilities spanning workplace operations, office amenities (including food & beverage), facilities management, events management, and local office engagement. This role reports to the Senior Director of Employee Experience & Development, as part of DoorDash’s larger People Team.

- [Events Management] Support your team in scaling our Events & Hospitality function, to provide a scaled service that business leaders trust to support their team onsites, quarterly planning meetings, and community events.
- [Facilities Management] Oversee and improve facilities management initiatives to optimize resources and maintain a safe, efficient, and high-touch workplace environment.
- [Capex Project Implementation] Oversee and deliver new construction and retrofitting projects in partnership with Real Estate and Construction teams.
- [Vendor Management] Negotiate contracts and manage relationships with third-party vendors to ensure the highest quality and timely delivery of their services and products.

- [Budget Management] Manage the Workplace Experience team budget, implementing tools to effectively track and efficiently allocate resources to maximize the impact of global and local workplace initiatives.
We’re excited about you because you…
- Have a bachelor's degree with 12+ years’ combined experience in workplace services, office management, employee experience and/or employee engagement work.
