Remote Facilities Manager

About the Opportunity

Imagine working at the heart of a dynamic, forward-thinking organization that thrives on innovation and flexibility. As a Remote Facilities Manager, you'll step into a leadership role that goes beyond spreadsheets and site plans. You'll play a crucial part in shaping an environment that keeps operations humming smoothly across distributed teams and digital workspaces. With a spirit of creativity and a sharp eye for detail, you'll bring harmony to a complex orchestra of virtual and physical infrastructure. This isn't just a job; it's a gateway to influence the future of workplace experiences from anywhere in the world.

Our Vision and Why It Matters

In an era where work is no longer tied to walls, we're redefining how space, systems, and services work together. Our organization has evolved from a small dream into a global leader by focusing on efficiency, innovation, and employee-centric experiences. Facilities management is no longer about brick-and-mortar. It's about understanding people, anticipating needs, and using technology to deliver seamless experiences. You’ll be key to enhancing employee satisfaction and driving productivity across continents, time zones, and remote settings. Our mission? To empower agile teams with spaces (virtual and physical) that support their best work.

What You’ll Be Doing

Operational Leadership

  • Direct and oversee remote and physical facility operations, ensuring continuous service, safety compliance, and cost-effectiveness across multiple sites and digital environments.
  • Design and implement forward-thinking initiatives that support company goals while ensuring compliance with health, safety, and sustainability standards.

Facilities Oversight

  • Manage property contracts, vendor relationships, equipment procurement, and space planning remotely.
  • Implement predictive maintenance schedules and response procedures using cloud-based facility management platforms.

Virtual Infrastructure

  • Maintain digital tools for workspace reservations, asset tracking, and environment monitoring.
  • Foster hybrid systems that integrate coworking options, home offices, and occasional physical meet-up points.

Budget and Reporting

  • Monitor annual budgets, generate monthly reports, and optimize resource allocation.
  • Create metrics dashboards for facility performance and improvement, leveraging tools such as Tableau or Power BI.

Team Collaboration

  • Partner with HR, IT, and Legal to support employee lifecycle needs from onboarding to offboarding.
  • Guide cross-functional teams to execute facility projects, from ergonomic home office upgrades to green initiatives.

Tools and Tech Stack

You won’t be stuck with outdated tools. Expect to work with:

  • Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) like Archibus or FM: Systems
  • Remote maintenance and ticketing platforms such as UpKeep or Hippo CMMS
  • Collaboration platforms, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom
  • Cloud-based reporting via Google Workspace and analytics through Power BI or Tableau
  • AI-powered environmental monitoring tools to ensure comfort and sustainability

These tools empower your team to be proactive, responsive, and aligned, regardless of their location.

A Day in the Remote Life

Start your day reviewing overnight maintenance logs from various regions. Sync with your virtual team in a cross-time-zone huddle to discuss updates on an office renovation in Asia, a lease renewal in Europe, and a vendor switch in the U.S. You might spend part of your afternoon exploring digital blueprints, analyzing facility efficiency reports, or drafting a strategy for a greener supply chain. Then, you close the loop with a light-hearted Slack check-in, celebrating a week without any emergency tickets. Your impact is clear, felt globally, and deeply appreciated.
