Description

Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon. Global Real Estate and Facilities (GREF) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region manages an extensive corporate office portfolio encompassing approximately 10 million rentable square feet (RSF) spread over 43 countries, 86 cities, and 139 buildings. Currently, GREF's EMEA operations are organized into nine distinct areas to efficiently serve its diverse customer base, including various business teams, leaders, and vendors who utilize Amazon's corporate offices. Looking ahead to 2025, GREF plans to restructure its services to align more closely with major Amazon organizations such as AWS, Stores, Devices, and FGBS.

Amazon's GREF team is seeking a Geo Strategist, a leader who will be expected to align real estate strategy to business needs in partnership with key GREF Stakeholders and maintain a customer centric approach. The role will partner with all Amazon teams and functions such as PP, PR, TRAD (Talent Research & Development), along with internal GREF teams, such as Global Business Partnering, Space and Occupancy planning, and Design and Construction, to support the implementation of workplace design, space, and strategic needs for the Geo in order to support business requirements. This role will support GEO 2: Europe North & West, which will oversee 6 countries, 17 cities, 30 buildings, and 2.1 MM RSF. This position requires the candidate to be based within this specific geo, facilitating direct and efficient support for GREF's operations in the region.

The optimal candidate is an experienced and engaging professional who will excel within an entrepreneurial culture – providing vision, leadership, and communication – not afraid to dive deep into details and take ownership. They should also understand the nuance of being approachable and consultative– providing direction/recommendations and fostering transparent relationships. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in offering solutions and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause. An ideal candidate is able to navigate high level of ambiguity and demonstrate a bias for action, taking calculated risks in a fast-paced environment.

• Write documents and provide writing support in line with Amazon standards
• Supporting in person and remote meetings with internal GREF stakeholders and customers

• Collaborate with a variety of stakeholders, including but not limited to, Amazon Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), Finance Leaders, and PXT to validate headcount data (i.e., forecasted demand)
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with business units, providing updates and addressing any concerns or questions related to real estate and portfolio matters
• Work in a matrix reporting structure, encompassing both dotted and hard reporting lines
• Cross functionally engage and coordinate with Regional Portfolio Strategist
