• Position Summary

  The Senior Manager, Workplace Experience leads the strategy, operations, and teammate experience across DAT’s full site portfolio — Seattle, Denver, Portland, Toronto, Bangalore, and Springfield, MO. This role owns the physical environment as a strategic lever for engagement, collaboration, and high-performance culture, going well beyond traditional facilities management to architect experiences that make teammates want to show up, connect, and do their best work.

  Reporting to the Director of Talent Operations, you’ll lead a team of Workplace Experience specialists, serve as the operational general manager of each DAT site, and partner cross-functionally with IT, Finance, and business leadership to ensure our spaces reflect who we are and where we’re going. You’ll balance the strategic (workplace programming, engagement-driven design, site strategy) with the operational (vendor management, building systems, safety, and compliance) — and you’ll thrive doing both.

  What You’ll Own

  Site Leadership 

  • Set the strategy and standards for workplace experience across all DAT locations (Seattle, Denver, Portland, Toronto, Bangalore, Springfield), working through on-site teams to bring that vision to life locally.
  • Own the day-to-day teammate experience at each site: space readiness, building access, vendor performance, safety protocols, and environmental quality.
  • Act as the primary escalation point for all workplace and facilities issues across the portfolio, triaging and resolving with urgency.
  • Lead site-level communication and coordination during office openings, relocations, buildouts, and lease transitions.
  • Manage relationships with landlords, property managers, and building operations teams across all geographies.

  Teammate Experience & Engagement

  • Design and execute workplace programming that enables DAT’s high-performance culture such as lunch programs, team events, wellness initiatives, and in-office experiences that drive community building and connection with a focus on inclusion.
  • Own the physical component of the teammate lifecycle: the onboarding environment and first-day welcome, orientation, day-to-day workspace quality, and the tangible experience of being a DAT employee in every location.
  • Conduct regular workplace satisfaction surveys and translate feedback into measurable improvements. Track engagement metrics tied to workplace experience including badge scan data, attendance patterns, and teammate sentiment.
  • Partner with People Business Partners and leadership to ensure physical spaces support team structures, collaboration patterns, and hybrid work policies.
  • Champion inclusive design: ensure all sites are accessible, welcoming, and reflective of DAT’s diverse, globally distributed workforce.

  Workplace Strategy & Space Optimization

  • Develop and maintain a multi-year workplace strategy aligned with DAT’s growth plans, headcount projections, and hybrid work model.
  • Use space utilization data and occupancy analytics to inform layout decisions, desk allocation, and capital investment recommendations.
  • Lead workplace design projects — from concept through buildout — ensuring spaces support focused work, collaboration, and social connection.
