About the role

Our offices are where Unity's creative work comes to life, and we want you to lead what that feels like. As Director, Workplace Experience, you will lead the Workplace function across our global sites—shaping how people connect, gather, and do their best work every day. You will build and grow a distributed team of Workplace and Employee Experience professionals, set a clear vision for the employee onsite and remote experience, and turn it into consistent, well‑run programs across every location you support. This role balances big‑picture strategy with the details of everyday moments that make an office feel genuinely welcoming.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, coach, and grow a multi‑site Workplace Experience team, setting clear direction and creating development opportunities.
  • Own the regional employee experience strategy and translate it into consistent standards, service levels, and programs across offices.
  • Design and oversee onsite programming—including events, hospitality, food, and community moments—that bring teams together.
  • Partner with HR, IT, Security, Finance, Real Estate, and Communications to deliver a seamless onsite experience.
  • Manage regional budgets and vendor relationships, demonstrating the value of Workplace investments to key decision makers.
  • Define metrics for the Workplace function and use employee feedback and usage data to improve programs over time.
  • Own the global Site Leader Program—governance, recognition and compensation model, cohort development, and coordination with People Analytics, Location Strategy, and regional leadership.
  • Partner with People Analytics to design and field workplace and office‑use research, translating results into location deep dives, global summaries, and hybrid work strategy recommendations for senior leaders.
  • Steward the global Employee Resource Group program: governance, budget, ERG leader development and recruitment, and integration into new‑hire onboarding.
  • Lead belonging and manager‑enablement workstreams in partnership with Learning and Talent Programs.
  • Serve as the senior Workplace partner to site leadership, solving issues quickly and representing employee needs in space and site decisions.

Requirements

  • Proven track record leading Workplace, Employee Experience, or Facilities functions across multiple sites or regions.
  • Experience building and managing a distributed team, including hiring, coaching, and performance development.
  • Experience leading distributed cohorts, councils, or committees through influence rather than direct reporting lines.
  • Fluency with workforce and engagement data, and the ability to turn analysis into actionable narratives.
  • Demonstrated ownership of multi‑site operating budgets and vendor contracts.
  • Experience designing and running employee events and onsite programs at scale.
  • Effective written and verbal communication with senior audiences.
  • Critical thinking paired with strong operational follow‑through in a fast‑changing environment.
  • Ability to work effectively in cross‑functional teams across time zones.
  • Optional: Experience supporting creative, gaming, or technology workforces.
  • Familiarity with workplace technology, space‑planning tools, or occupancy analytics.
  • Experience leading Workplace programs through growth, relocation, or office openings.
