Your Team Responsibilities

MSCI's Workplace Technology (WPT) team delivers reliable, secure, and innovative technology experiences across our global offices. We provide end-to-end digital workplace services - from endpoint management and collaboration tools to AV systems, networking infrastructure, and on-site event technology. Our teams are embedded across 11 facilities globally, supporting 30+ sites in total. The Tokyo office is a strategically important, client-facing location with growing operational demands including frequent internal and external events, VIP visits, and the need for local Japanese-speaking vendor and building management coordination. As MSCI continues to invest in AI-driven automation and modern workplace solutions, the WPT team is expanding dedicated on-site support in key APAC offices to ensure operational excellence, reduce dependency on travel and third-party site-hand costs, and deliver proactive, high-quality service to the business.
