About the Job
As our Facilities Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring the IB Global Centre in Cardiff remains a safe, efficient, and inspiring place for our people to work.
Working as part of a collaborative Global Facilities Team, you will oversee the day-to-day management of our Cardiff office, ensuring our facilities, services, and infrastructure consistently meet the needs of a dynamic international organisation. From managing supplier relationships and negotiating contracts to overseeing budgets and delivering local projects, you'll be at the heart of creating a workplace that enables our colleagues to do their best work.
You'll act as the local lead for all facilities-related operations, working closely with landlords and external vendors to ensure the smooth running of services including office maintenance, reception, catering, workspace planning, health and safety, business continuity, parking, waste management, procurement, meeting room facilities, and office consumables. You'll also drive continuous improvement, ensuring our working environment is fit for purpose both now and in the future.
Alongside managing a small local team, you'll collaborate with colleagues across the organisation, including the Global Centre Leadership Team, operational teams, landlords, consultants, contractors and public authorities. Building strong partnerships and influencing stakeholders at all levels will be critical to your success.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing strategic projects with operational excellence and wants to make a visible impact on the employee experience. While the role is focused on Cardiff, there will also be opportunities to contribute to regional and global facilities initiatives as part of the wider Facilities function.
