Oversee flex office-related activities, such as workplace licenses

Coordinate decommissioning and reinstatement activities with facilities management, IT/ET, design & construction, and operating companies

Manage smaller transactions independently, with oversight from the Transaction Manager or Account Lead on larger, more complex deals

Support Transaction Managers on more complex transactions and portfolio-wide initiatives

Prepare and present comprehensive transaction summaries, business cases and market overviews, including integration and coordination of real estate transaction terms, design and construction costs (capex), facility management costs ( opex ), IT/AV costs (capex and opex ), and operating company financials/metrics

Cash flow and P&L analysis

Ad-hoc reporting and metrics

Raising the Bar

Regularly liaise with peers to share best practices, and other key delivery partners from JLL and other service providers delivering integration, data integrity, and project and facilities management

Leverage JLL research team, bringing research insights, analytics and innovative ideas to regional client leadership

Leverage, invent and simplify best practices, including the continuous improvement of process, tools and templates

“See around corners” - providing actionable advice on mitigation of anticipated risks/taking advantage of opportunities

Proactively identify process inefficiencies, formulate and execute on implementation plans, followed by tracking and demonstrating results

Every day is different, and in all these activities, we’d encourage you to show your ingenuity — with deep respect for the client’s partners and colleagues at every turn, and an unwavering focus on the end user of the client’s products in every decision you make.
