Senior Workplace Manager London

About Vercel: Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work.

About the Role: We are looking for a Senior Workplace Manager to join our Workplace Strategy & Operations team — which owns workplace, real estate, employee experience, and physical security globally. You will serve as our senior on‐ground presence across our EMEA offices, owning daily operations in London and overseeing Berlin, while playing a significant role in our upcoming London office search and transition from co‐working to a permanent space. You will report to the Head of Workplace and will be located onsite in London.

If you're based within a pre‐determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in‐office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, even if the role is listed as remote. For location‐specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.

What You Will Do:

• Own daily operations across our London and Berlin co‐working locations — including access control, vendor management, food programs, facilities, and general services — maintaining a consistently high standard across both sites.
• Play a significant role in the London office search and transition: helping define space requirements, coordinating site visits, evaluating options, and supporting the build‐out and move‐in process in close partnership with the Head of Workplace, broader workplace team, IT/AV, Finance, and Legal.
• Own the employee experience across our EMEA offices — cultural programming, space activations, events, and onboarding moments that reflect Vercel's values.
• Serve as the regional point of contact for real estate matters, including lease considerations, space planning, and vendor relationships across both locations.
• Travel to Berlin on a regular basis (approximately quarterly) to maintain on‐ground presence and ensure operational continuity.
• Partner cross‐functionally with IT, Security, Legal, Finance, and People to coordinate services and contribute to global Workplace programs, team OKRs/KPIs, and special projects.

About You:

• 6+ years of experience in workplace operations, office management, or a related field, with demonstrated experience operating autonomously in a senior or standalone capacity.
• Proven experience contributing to office search, build‐out, or lease transition processes — you know how to be an effective partner on real estate workstreams.
• Experience managing multiple office locations simultaneously, including serving as the primary point of escalation across sites.
• Track record of building or owning employee experience programs, including events, cultural programming, and in‐office activations.
• Experience collaborating across functions and influencing senior stakeholders across time zones.

Bonus If You:

• Have managed a multi‐site or multi‐country portfolio in EMEA.
• Have scaled workplace operations from co‐working to a leased or owned office environment.
• Have contributed to physical security programs.
• Speak German (a genuine plus for Berlin, not required).

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Inclusive Healthcare Package.
• Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
• Flexible Time Off.
• We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
