About The Opportunity

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 how we design and 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 Workplace & Experience to build and lead this global organization. This executive will architect a unified workplace 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.

What You Will Lead

In this role, you will architect and operationalize a global workplace strategy that reinforces connection, belonging, and productivity. You will oversee all aspects of physical environments and cultural experiences, both in-office and remote, ensuring they serve as the lived expression of our culture. Central to this will be creating a clear, modern narrative for how our workplace environments support a high-performance workforce while reflecting the maturity required for a company entering a new chapter of scale.

• Global Multi-Site Operations: You will direct a complex global portfolio, ensuring operational excellence across disparate time zones and geographies. You will develop a scalable workplace strategy that respects local cultural nuances while maintaining a unified global standard for AlphaSense.
• 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.
• 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: You will design a 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 analytical rigor and operational excellence to the management of the global workplace & experience budget. You will partner closely with Finance on forecasting, real estate, 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, ensuring SOPs are modernized for a maturing global organization.

What You Bring

• 10+ Years of Leadership Experience: With a proven track record of leading global workplace, real estate, or facilities functions in high-growth, complex environments.
• Global Multi-Site Expertise: Deep experience managing a diverse portfolio of offices 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 and hands-on modes to create the infrastructure required for AlphaSense to scale.
• Exceptional Communication Skills: The ability to simplify complex operational topics for senior audiences and act as a trusted cultural ambassador for the organization.
