About the Position

Senior Facility Manager (m,f,d)

Location: Munich, Germany

At ARX Robotics, reliable and well-managed sites are essential to developing and delivering unmanned systems for demanding environments. As a Senior Facility Manager, you will take ownership of facility operations and site infrastructure work streams across our locations, helping ensure that our employees have safe, functional, and well-organized workplaces as ARX continues to grow.

You will combine hands-on operational responsibility with end-to-end delivery of improvement and expansion initiatives. You will work independently, coordinate internal stakeholders and external service providers, and make well-founded decisions while adhering to agreed budgets, safety guidelines, and decision-making authorities.

Responsibilities

• Manage external service providers, set clear expectations, monitor quality and delivery, address performance issues, and oversee day-to-day contracted services such as cleaning, waste, and building services.
• Plan and coordinate maintenance requests, repairs, preventive maintenance, and statutory inspections, following actions through to completion.
• Identify and resolve operational problems independently; make timely, balanced decisions within your authority, considering quality, speed, cost, safety, and business priorities, and escalate where approval is needed.
• Track facility budgets and costs, explain variances, and coordinate accurate, timely invoice processing with relevant internal stakeholders.
• Improve recurring processes, procedures, and service standards; agree on appropriate measures, track outcomes, maintain clear facility documentation, and share effective practices across sites.
• Support operational health and safety, sustainability monitoring, and access-related facility arrangements in coordination with the responsible internal and external specialists.
• Drive facility contributions to site set-up, fit-out, office moves, space planning, and expansion initiatives in close coordination with the Head of Infrastructure and Expansion and relevant project teams.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in facility management, site operations, project coordination, or a comparable operational role.
• Demonstrated ability to own cross-functional workstreams end-to-end, from an unclear operational need to coordinated delivery and measurable results, with minimal day-to-day guidance.
• Sound judgment and the ability to prioritize competing needs and balance quality, speed, cost, and business impact within defined decision-making boundaries.
• A proactive approach to troubleshooting and improving processes, with strong follow-through and a focus on measurable outcomes.
• Experience managing external service providers and building trusted relationships with stakeholders across functions.
• A sound understanding of maintenance, inspections, building services, and operational health and safety topics.
• Clear communication skills, including the ability to navigate complex discussions and resolve disagreements constructively.
• A calm, accountable, and solution-oriented approach when priorities change or unexpected challenges arise.
• Confidence using common digital workplace tools and maintaining clear, accurate records.
• Willingness to work across multiple sites and travel to relevant locations as required.
• Fluent written and spoken German, and the ability to communicate confidently in English with colleagues.
