  • Work cross-functionally with the Global REW team, supporting projects and programs within the scope of Workplace and Real Estate Operations.
  • Lead project team meetings, documentation, and collaboration to drive accountability for governance, data integrity, and accuracy; identify risks, perform constructability reviews, develop mitigation plans, and drive actions to ensure successful outcomes.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders (EA's, team leaders) and partner teams (HR, IT, Finance, and Property Management) as well as external vendors to ensure the highest quality of project delivery and risk management.
  • Develop, improve, and document consistent operational processes and best practices for maintenance programs (janitorial, patch & paint, safety equipment, etc.).
  • Optimise and document operational processes for office build-out standards with IT/AV and Security/Safety teams across both OpEx and CapEx initiatives.
What we look for
  • 5+ years Project Management experience with full responsibility for budget, schedule, procurement, quality and risk during planning, design, construction, closeout and post occupancy phases
  • Good communication skills and comfortable with an executive audience
  • Proven organisational skills, managing multiple work streams and projects
  • Customer-focused attitude - ensuring consistently high quality resolutions
  • Experience working and managing projects within a distributed environment
