Office Management & Workplace Experience
Lead global office management and workplace operations across our office footprint, ensuring safe, productive, and welcoming environments that reflect our culture.
Partner with regional leaders, the CFO and the COO on real estate strategy, lease decisions, office expansions/consolidations, and workstation planning aligned to workforce planning and recruiting priorities.
Define and deliver a consistent in-office experience – from facilities and vendor management to events, hospitality, and hybrid work norms – that strengthens engagement and collaboration.
Employee Experience, Policy & Compliance
Own the global People policy framework, ensuring policies are clear, current, locally compliant, and aligned to AvePoint values.
Partner with Legal, HRBPs, and regional leaders to ensure compliance with employment laws and regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions.

Leadership & Cross-Regional Alignment
As a member of the Global People Leadership Team, contribute to enterprise-wide people strategy, organizational design, and cultural initiatives.
Build, develop, and lead a globally distributed team of People Operations, payroll, and office management professionals; model a culture of accountability, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
