We're looking for a Global Employee Experience Specialist to own the physical and cultural heartbeat of our six global offices and our virtual employee experience. This is an individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of facilities, culture, and employee experience someone who thinks proactively, works across functions with ease, and takes genuine pride in creating environments and moments that make people feel like they belong.

You'll drive the day-to-day onsite experience across all six of our global office locations, making sure every office feels welcoming, functional, and reflective of our culture while also partnering with People leadership to bring our virtual employee experience to life for our global workforce. From Employee Resource Groups and internal events to facilities and vendor management, this role touches every part of how our people experience work at Pantheon. As we continue to grow, you'll also play a supporting role in office expansion, helping ensure new locations are set up with the same care and consistency as our existing ones.

What You'll Own

Global Onsite Experience (6 Offices)

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all six office locations managing facilities, vendor relationships, and day-to-day operations with minimal oversight

• Liaise with building owners and managers across locations; proactively coordinate maintenance, repairs, and improvements before they become issues
• Manage access control and keycard administration across all locations
• Manage onsite and remote vendor relationships catering, cleaning, food services, furniture, and more including contract renewals, negotiations, and performance
• Coordinate and support office moves and reorganizations end-to-end
• Maintain documentation for office access, use guidelines, and operational processes across all six locations

• Provide basic AV and IT equipment support onsite in partnership with IT
• Support leaders for in-office or local area offsites in partnership with our Executive Business Assisstants
• Help define and maintain the standard for what a great onsite experience looks and feels like across all locations, and ensure that bar travels with us as we grow

Global Virtual Experience

• Support our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) end-to-end: operational support, programming, event coordination, and budget tracking
• Execute and support culture initiatives that bring our values to life in a distributed, global workforce
• Manage and execute the internal events calendar in partnership with People leadership, including company-sponsored internal events, holiday celebrations, cultural moments, and company fundraisers

• Identify gaps in the employee experience and proactively bring forward recommendations to People leadership

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple locations or programs simultaneously with minimal guidance
• Strong vendor management experience. You know how to run an RFP, manage a contract, ask the right questions, and hold a vendor accountable
• Exceptionally organized - you build systems, maintain them, and bring structure to ambiguity; nothing falls through the cracks and you don't wait to be reminded
• A clear, structured communicator in writing, in meetings, and across functions. You know how to get the point across, tailor your message to your audience, and loop in the right people at the right time
• Skilled at managing multiple workstreams simultaneously across a distributed, global environment. You can hold the thread on a vendor negotiation, an upcoming event, and a facilities request all at once without losing momentum on any of them
• Proactive in surfacing updates and blockers, you share timely, organized status updates
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making judgment calls; you surface risks early and bring proposed solutions
• Experience working across global or distributed teams; cultural awareness and sensitivity matter to you
• Someone who brings energy to high-visibility moments like onboarding, events, and milestones, because you understand the impact they have
• Familiarity with tools like Slack and Google Workspace
• Based in Vancouver, Chicago, or San Francisco, with the ability to be on-site in your location regularly; periodic travel to other office locations is expected

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• All six offices are running smoothly and are proactively managed
• A clear, documented playbook has been contributed to for what the in-office experience looks like at Pantheon, which can be used for standing up new offices, so expansion doesn't mean starting from scratch
• Vendors are performing, processes are streamlined and automated, and there is clear documentation
• The employee events calendar is built out and being executed against with clear ownership and lead times
• ERGs have consistent operational support and feel resourced and valued
• You've brought at least one new idea or initiative to life, something that didn't exist before you got here
• Leadership sees you as a trusted partner who brings ideas, flags risks, and drives projects and events end-to-end
