Global Real Estate & Workplace Lead at whatnot

This leadership role is designed for a seasoned real estate strategist with 12+ years of experience overseeing global facilities for high-growth tech companies. You should have a proven track record of managing international portfolios across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, with specific expertise in complex lease negotiations and large-scale office buildouts. The compensation is highly competitive ($200k–$260k), and while the company maintains a "remote co-located" philosophy, this role requires being near a major hub (NY, LA, SF, or Seattle). Notable perks include a 4% 401k match, categorical allowances for wellness and childcare, and a unique "dogfooding" budget to buy and sell on the platform. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have successfully scaled a physical footprint for a company growing from 1,000 to 1,500+ employees. * Possess deep financial acumen for capital expenditure planning and long-range scenario modeling. * Are comfortable "wearing both hats"—setting the long-term global vision while managing day-to-day vendor relationships and construction timelines. * Thrive in a high-action environment where you report directly to the Chief People Officer to align physical space with company culture.
