Opportunity

At AIMCo, a great workplace is a key enabler of our people and our investment success. As Senior Manager, Workplace & Travel, you will lead our workplace experience, facilities, corporate travel and employee experience programs across our office locations. This is a true hands-on role: you will set the strategy, and you will also be on the ground making it happen.

One day you may be negotiating a lease or reviewing a budget; the next you may be on site preparing for an office opening, solving a travel issue or pitching in wherever the team needs a hand. With teams and offices in multiple locations, you will also spend time on the ground where the work is happening, including regular travel to Edmonton and occasional travel to Toronto. You will lead a geographically distributed Workplace team and wear many hats to keep our offices running smoothly. This role is ideal for a service-minded, roll-up-your-sleeves leader who is happiest in the thick of it and gets things done, whatever it takes.

** This role will close at 11:59 pm MST on November 23rd, 2026**

What You Will Do 

• Be a visible, hands-on presence across our office locations, keeping offices safe, welcoming and running smoothly, and stepping in wherever needed, from day-to-day requests to office openings and special events. 

• Lead workplace strategy and major projects, including office expansions, relocations and renovations, setting service standards and using data, KPIs and technology to guide space planning and improvements. 

• Lead the corporate travel program, including traveller support and duty of care, and manage Workplace budgets, vendors and contracts in partnership with Finance, Procurement and Legal. 

• Oversee the Employee Experience Committees and partner with HR and Communications on programs and events that strengthen connection and engagement. 

• Lead, coach and develop Office Coordinators and other Workplace team members, working alongside them as needed, and serve as the senior escalation point for significant workplace, travel, vendor and employee matters. 

• Advise senior leaders on workplace, real estate, travel and operational risk, including safety, security and business continuity. 

 

What We Are Looking For 

You are an experienced workplace leader who is as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are working with senior stakeholders. You are flexible, resourceful and happy to jump in wherever you are needed, and you take real pride in the details. 

Required Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Facilities Management, Real Estate or a related field. 

• 8+ years’ experience in Workplace Operations, Facilities Management, Real Estate or Corporate Travel, including at least 3 years in a people leadership role. 

• Proven success managing multi-location operations, office expansions or relocations and complex projects, and leading geographically distributed teams such as office coordinators. 

• Experience with lease negotiations, space planning and vendor management, and working knowledge of workplace, health and safety, and building regulations. 

• Demonstrated ability to foster an inclusive work environment and inspire AIMCo’s core values of excellence, transparency, humility, integrity and collaboration. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Familiarity with ticket management and workplace service systems (e.g., JIRA). 

• Experience using data, KPIs and workplace technology or automation to drive evidence-based decisions and process improvements. 

What Success Looks Like 

• Be known across the organization as the go-to person who is visible, approachable and gets things done, wherever help is needed. 

• Build a connected, high-performing Workplace team that delivers consistent service across locations. 

• Manage budgets, vendors and the travel program to deliver value and cost savings. 

• Build trusted partnerships across HR, Finance, Procurement, Legal, Technology and the business.
