Workplace Operations Manager

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.

The Workplace Operations team strives to create world class office spaces, environments and experiences for our employees, including creating environments that support collaboration, innovation, productivity, and a sense of connection to Plaid’s culture.

In this role you'll keep Plaid's San Francisco and Seattle offices running day to day, so the space works for the people who use it, whether they're in every day or a few days a month. That means owning the practical details: how the office is laid out and maintained, how vendors and building management are managed, how programs operate, visitors are greeted, and how health, safety and emergency readiness are planned and rehearsed. You'll also manage the office budget and the contracts behind it, and report on what the space costs and how it's used, so decisions rest on data rather than guesses.

You'll partner with the Security, IT, Legal and People teams to keep the offices in line with company policy and local regulations. You'll manage and develop a team of 3 people across SF and SEA and support their growth.
