7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Shaping Enterprise Strategy

You'll spend your days aligning our global real estate portfolio with the company's 3-5 year growth plans, making critical decisions about where we invest, expand, or divest. This means working with the CEO on new market entry strategies or presenting to the Board on our long-term sustainability roadmap.

Leading the strategic review that results in a major consolidation of our APAC footprint, freeing up £20M in capital for reinvestment into R&D, and presenting this to the Board.

High-Stakes Problem-Solving

You'll thrive on tackling the biggest, most complex challenges related to our physical assets—think global supply chain disruptions impacting critical equipment, navigating geopolitical risks for our international sites, or responding to a major environmental incident. These are the problems that keep others up at night.

Successfully mitigating the impact of a major natural disaster on our EMEA data centre operations, ensuring minimal downtime and rapid recovery, thereby protecting millions in revenue.

Driving Large-Scale Transformation

You're excited by the prospect of fundamentally changing how we think about and use our physical spaces. This could involve leading a global shift to a fully agile workplace model, implementing a company-wide net-zero carbon strategy for our buildings, or integrating new technologies like digital twins across our entire portfolio.

Launching a global 'Future of Work' programme that redefines our office purpose, leading to a 20% reduction in our overall physical footprint while improving employee satisfaction.

What frustrates people
  • The 'cost centre' stigma, even at the highest level, requiring constant justification for strategic investments.
  • Balancing the short-term demands of operational emergencies with the long-term vision of portfolio transformation.
  • Navigating complex global regulatory landscapes and geopolitical risks that directly impact our physical assets.
  • The sheer scale of managing hundreds of properties across dozens of countries, each with unique challenges.
  • Dealing with the public and media scrutiny when a high-profile incident occurs at one of our sites.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable work environment with minimal interruptions.
  • The luxury of focusing on a single, well-defined project from start to finish without external pressures.
  • A role where your decisions are rarely questioned or subject to intense executive debate.
  • An environment where you can easily 'switch off' from work at the end of the day, given the 24/7 nature of global operations.

8Who you work with

This role has enterprise-wide impact, directly influencing P&L (typically £10M+), capital allocation, physical risk posture, employee experience, and the company's ESG performance. Your decisions will shape our long-term growth trajectory and market competitiveness, affecting thousands of employees and millions in assets. Frankly, you're a key part of the company's overall success or failure.

Inside the business
  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team
  • Board of Directors (especially Audit and ESG Committees)
  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Finance Leadership
  • Chief People Officer (CPO) and HR Leadership

  • General Counsel and Legal Team
Outside the business
  • Investors and Shareholders
  • Regulatory Bodies and Government Officials
  • Major Landlords and Property Developers
  • Strategic Vendors and Service Providers

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • 20+ years of progressive leadership experience in global facilities, real estate, or corporate services, with at least 5 years at a VP or Director level for a large, complex organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience managing a multi-million-pound P&L and capital budget for a global portfolio.
  • Proven track record of defining and executing enterprise-wide real estate strategies that delivered significant financial and operational benefits.
  • Extensive experience presenting to and influencing C-suite executives and Board members on strategic facilities matters.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, at the C-suite level, your time is precious. Every hour you save on tedious tasks is an hour you can spend on truly strategic work, influencing the Board, shaping our global footprint, or mitigating enterprise-level risks. AI isn't just for junior analysts anymore; it's a powerful co-pilot for executive decision-making.

Imagine cutting through hundreds of pages of lease documents in minutes, getting real-time insights into global space utilisation, or predicting critical infrastructure failures before they even happen. That's the power AI brings to a Global Head of Facilities. It's about giving you the data and the time to be truly proactive and strategic, rather than constantly reacting.

Predictive Maintenance Automation

AI analyses real-time data from BMS and IoT sensors across our global portfolio (HVAC, elevators, power systems) to predict failures before they happen. It'll flag potential issues, suggest diagnostics, and even automatically generate high-priority work orders in our IWMS. For you, this means fewer catastrophic failures, less business interruption, and more predictable Opex.

Global Occupancy Analytics & Optimisation

AI models crunch data from security badges, Wi-Fi, and desk sensors across hundreds of sites to give you a crystal-clear picture of how our spaces are actually used. This replaces guesswork and manual audits, providing the hard data you need to make multi-million-pound decisions on consolidating real estate, redesigning layouts, or investing in new markets. It's your secret weapon for portfolio optimisation.

AI-Powered Lease Abstraction & Risk Analysis

Use an AI tool to instantly scan and extract every critical data point (rent schedules, critical dates, insurance, 'make good' clauses) from hundreds of complex global commercial lease documents. It'll populate a central database, highlight potential risks, and even flag opportunities for negotiation. This saves weeks or months during portfolio reviews, M&A due diligence, or preparing for board reports on lease liabilities.

Executive Communications & Board Report Drafting

Use AI to draft initial versions of routine but critical communications, like RFPs for major global services, performance warnings to underperforming strategic vendors, or even sections of your quarterly board reports on ESG or portfolio performance. It ensures a consistent, professional tone and frees up your valuable time for refining the strategic message and engaging with stakeholders.
