About the role...

The Workplace team powers and connects the workday for all HashiCorp employees through three pillars: places, workplace infrastructure, and community engagement.  These all play an important role in providing a support system for employees, whether they work in an office or at home.  

We are hospitality and experience-driven at the core.  We are made up of People people, meaning that we love supporting each other and all of the People in our workplace. We take on the good and the bad with optimism and with a positive, kind approach to solving problems, dealing with the obstacles handed to us, and proactively creating good around us.  We think about each moment through the lens of our colleagues (our customers) so that we can create thoughtful and memorable experiences no matter what task we have at hand. This role will be reporting into a US based Manager.

Madrid Office:

Our Madrid office of approximately 50 seats, plus a training room, will be opening in or around March 1, 2024.  The Madrid Workplace Lead will be a part of the global Workplace team, will help to open the office, and will wear multiple hats supporting the office and the employees once it is open.  Prior to the office opening, the Lead will be the go-to person for meeting vendors, ordering office and other supplies for the opening, organizing the office and checking all things off the list.  Once open, you will be responsible for all office operational and administrative tasks while cultivating a beautiful, positive, and productive workplace.  

Global Employee Health and Safety (EHS):

The Lead will also be responsible for the global Workplace Employee Health & Safety (EHS) initiative. With the support of our EHS consultant and Workplace leadership team, this initiative includes developing, implementing, and monitoring risk assessments for offices and remote employees, doing compliance work within HashiCorp countries around the world, and working on one-off EHS issues as they arise.  This person will partner closely with the HashiCorp Benefits team as this work goes hand in hand with Occupational Health that the Benefits team oversees.

Global Workplace Systems:

Finally, the Lead will help support the Workplace systems in conjunction with the Workplace leadership team.  Our global Workplace infrastructure includes many software platforms and systems that we use to run our programming.  These systems require upkeep, monitoring, and coordination to keep in tune with our business needs.  This person will actively oversee these systems as part of this effort.
