Job Description:

AlphaSense is a high-growth global technology company redefining how organizations access and use market intelligence. As we scale toward a global workforce of ~3,500 employees and prepare for public-company rigor, we are reshaping our global physical footprint and how we deliver our employee experience. We believe that a world-class physical and cultural environment is a fundamental driver of high performance and a critical component of our talent value proposition. To attract, motivate, and retain top-tier global talent, we are building a Workplace, Community & Experience function that integrates physical office strategy, cultural programming, and employee connection into a single, cohesive portfolio. We are seeking a Director of Global Real Estate & Workplace Experience to build and lead this global organization. This executive will architect a unified portfolio strategy, develop scalable environments, and partner closely with Finance, Corporate IT, Legal, and leaders across the business to ensure our office hubs and community initiatives reflect both strong financial discipline and a deeply employee-centered philosophy. It is a rare opportunity to design a next-generation workplace ecosystem at a company entering a new chapter of scale, performance, and maturity.

Job Responsibility:

  • Global Real Estate & Portfolio Strategy: You will direct a complex global property portfolio, leading site selection, lease negotiations, and renewals across North America, EMEA, and APAC. You will manage broker and landlord relationships to ensure our physical footprint aligns with our growth trajectory and financial targets.
  • High-Performance Environments: You will design and curate physical and remote environments tailored to the specific functional needs of local teams. You will ensure our hubs are optimized for collaboration, innovation, and the rapid execution required of a high-growth SaaS organization.
  • Capital Projects & Design: You will lead office build-outs and expansion projects, managing external architects, general contractors, and project budgets to deliver premium environments on time and under budget.
  • Fluid Working & Experience Programming: You will own our Fluid Working approach, ensuring our physical spaces facilitate high-value connection and mentorship. You will ensure our global hubs serve as the premium ‘center of gravity’ for our culture, providing a seamless and productive transition for employees between remote work and in-person collaboration.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership & Execution: You will build deep, collaborative partnerships with Finance, Corporate IT, Security, Legal, and Business Stakeholders to get results. You will navigate complex interdependencies—from real estate deal execution to physical security protocols—to ensure our workplace operations are seamless and resilient.
  • Cultural Experience & Global Programming: While respecting local cultural nuances, you will design a unified, strategic narrative for employee experience and community at AlphaSense, leading related global programming and company rituals—such as Women’s History Month and company holiday events—to drive deep connectedness, belonging, and shared identity.
  • Governance & Financial Discipline: You will bring high-stakes analytical rigor and operational excellence to the management of the global workplace & experience budget. You will partner closely with Finance on real estate forecasting, capital expenditure (CapEx) planning, long-term leases, and employee experience commitments, ensuring our systems and processes strategically allocate resources to high-impact employee touchpoints.
  • Safety, Security & Compliance: In partnership with Legal and Corporate Security, you will establish and maintain rigorous global standards for workplace safety and physical security and asset protection by modernizing facility management SOPs.

Requirements:

  • 10+ Years of Leadership Experience: With a proven track record of leading corporate real estate, site selection, and facilities functions in high-growth, complex environments.
  • Global Multi-Site Expertise: Deep experience in commercial lease negotiation and contract management across international geographies including North America, EMEA, APAC, with the ability to navigate local labor laws and vendor landscapes, while adapting experience standards to local cultural expectations.
  • Exceptional Collaborative Influence: A demonstrated ability to build trust and drive results with cross-functional stakeholders in Finance, Legal, and IT.
  • Performance-First Mindset: A track record of building or modernizing workplace programs that drive measurable business impact and support high-performance outcomes.
  • Strong Analytical and Operational Capabilities: Experience in real estate forecasting, facilities budgeting, decision-support modeling, workplace data, and employee experience feedback to drive continuous improvement to the lived experience of our employees.
  • A Builder’s Mindset: Strategic, creative, and comfortable operating in both high-altitude strategy (portfolio planning) and hands-on execution (office build-outs).
  • Exceptional Communication Skills: The ability to simplify complex operational topics for senior audiences and act as a trusted cultural ambassador for the organization.
What we offer:

You may also be offered a performance-based bonus, equity, and a generous benefits program.
