What you’ll do
We have rapidly grown out footprint across our Asia Pacific region as our business and teams continue to grow. In Singapore alone, we have grown our headcount 8x in a span of 1.5 years as we continue to grow our global HQ. Our Workplace Experience role is a unique blend of managing our workplaces (including expansion) and building community within our Asia Pacific hubs – Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan.
Success in this role means that we can plan ahead for our office/desk needs as we grow, our office is well-stocked with snacks and drinks, and our employees have opportunities to come together as a Singapore community. You will also support our other workplace needs in other regions alongside local teams. Our team adds value by supporting people with the workspace, tools, and wellbeing initiatives for them to do their best work at Airwallex.
Responsibilities:
- Workspace Management: Ensure our facilities and workplaces are functioning well, partnering with building management, and in-house IT to ensure our workspace stays well-maintained, clean, safe, and full of good vibes.
- Project Management: Lead and support the expansion of our workspace needs as we continue to grow by working with building management and advisors to identify additional areas for us to grow into as our business scales. In the future, you will also work with a cross-functional team to outfit these new spaces to provide a familiar Airwallex vibe.
- Community Engagement: Build a calendar of social and wellbeing events for our teams alongside our Singapore social committee. You will work with business leaders, internal champions and colleagues to bring these ideas and activities to fruition.
- Vendor Management: Maintain relationships with vendors (cleaners etc), building management, and neighboring tenants
