Director, Facilities & Workplace Operations

New York, NY (Onsite 5 Days/Week) Salary: $150,000 - $180,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Atrium is working on a unique Facilities & Workplace Operations leadership opportunity with a well-established New York-based organization.

This is not a "keep the lights on" facilities role.

We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving, highly dynamic environments and genuinely enjoys solving problems that don't come with a playbook. One day you may be managing a construction project, negotiating with building management and vendors, overseeing office moves, or helping design a new workplace. The next, you may be troubleshooting an operational issue, coordinating emergency repairs, or rolling up your sleeves to solve a problem that nobody else owns.

The person who succeeds here will be highly resourceful, hands-on, and comfortable wearing multiple hats. This role requires someone who can move effortlessly between strategy and execution, senior leadership meetings and mechanical rooms, long-term planning and same-day operational challenges.

Responsibilities

• Lead all facilities and workplace operations for a corporate headquarters environment
• Manage office services, reception, mailroom, workplace support, maintenance, and vendor relationships
• Oversee renovations, office expansions, relocations, and workplace improvement initiatives
• Partner with architects, contractors, engineers, building management, and service providers
• Drive workplace experience initiatives and ensure a professional, client-ready office environment
• Manage facilities budgets, contracts, procurement, and cost controls
• Lead and develop a workplace operations team
• Support safety, security, emergency preparedness, and business continuity efforts
• Serve as the primary point of escalation for complex operational and facilities challenges

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of facilities, workplace operations, office services, property operations, or related experience
• Experience leading facilities projects, renovations, office moves, and vendor management initiatives
• Strong people leadership skills with a proven ability to drive accountability and execution
• Comfortable operating in environments where priorities shift and new challenges emerge regularly
• Someone who enjoys building structure, creating processes, and improving operations
• Executive presence with the ability to work closely with senior leadership
• PMP, facilities certifications, construction management exposure, or related experience are all valued

Why Consider It?

• High visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
• Opportunity to build structure and elevate the entire workplace operations function
• Broad ownership across facilities, construction projects, vendors, workplace experience, security, and office operations
• Stable organization with strong employee tenure
• Excellent benefits package
• Early Friday close year-round

Compensation & Benefits

In accordance with New York City pay transparency requirements, the anticipated base salary range for this position is $150,000 - $200,000. Actual compensation will depend on skills, experience, and qualifications. In addition to base salary, employees may be eligible for discretionary bonus opportunities and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, and other company-sponsored benefits.

If you're the type of leader who sees a problem, owns it, and figures it out rather than waiting for someone else to handle it, I'd love to connect.
