District Facilities Manager

Are you passionate about delivering a world-class employee experience and shaping the future of the workplace? Do you thrive in a high-touch, service-driven environment where your ability to build trust and influence across teams directly shapes how people connect, create, and succeed?

Join Microsoft's Global Workplace Services (GWS) team-where we empower every individual and organization to achieve more.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
