What the job involves
- Asana is looking for a strategic, supportive, and business-savvy leader to manage our global Administrative Business Partner (ABP) community
- This is more than a traditional operations role; it is a people-first leadership position designed to bring stability, clarity, and growth to a team that is the backbone of our executive leadership
- You will lead our full-time, global ABPs and oversee our offshore ABP support program
- Your mission is to balance operational rigor with a human-centric approach, ensuring our ABPs feel supported in their career journeys while providing world-class partnership to Asana’s top executives
- Bridge Strategy & Execution: Act as a high-level partner to the Head of RE & Workplace, ensuring the ABP function aligns with Asana’s broader business goals
- Evaluate & Optimize: Conduct comprehensive strategic audits of internal programs. You will determine their long-term viability, impact on executive productivity, and whether to scale, pivot, or maintain the current model

- Standardize Excellence: Develop a standard of excellence based on the Asana Operating Principles for executive support—creating playbooks for calendar management, global travel, and meeting rhythms that allow for executive-specific nuances while maintaining a high global standard
- Resource Management: Manage headcount planning, budgeting, and workload balancing. You’ll ensure that the ABP team is not over-leveraged and that every executive has the right level of support. You will provide ABP coverage from time to time when we are resource constrained,

- Lead with Empathy: Act as a stable, empathetic, and supportive coach for the ABP team, helping them navigate their fast paced and high stress roles and charting clear pathways for their professional development
