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
This role is based in our Vancouver office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements
What you’ll achieve 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

You will provide ABP coverage from time to time when we are resource constrained, Foster Culture: Build a sense of community and team among a group that is often siloed within different functional departments
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
