Leading projects to success

As Senior Project lead you’ll take total responsibility for the overall success of major projects—guiding teams in each phase to achieve outcomes that exceed clients’ expectations and meet JLL’s objectives. Driven and ambitious by nature, you have a mastery of the ins and outs of business—from products and systems to processes, tools and best practices.

For each project, you’ll establish an effective organisational structure for reporting, communication and working procedures, and ensure that clear objectives and quality control along with safety systems are in place. You’ll lead a project team that is highly motivated, eager to contribute, and in sync with the stakeholders’ mind-sets. You’ll also attend project meetings, submit monthly reports, and monitor project budgets, so an eye for detail and a structured approach to tasks will serve you well.

Making clients our first priority

The best person for this job is one who always considers what’s best for our clients. As such, you’ll maintain a strong and positive relationship with our clients by identifying their needs, requirements and constraints. While you act in the clients’ best interests throughout the project duration, you must make sure that the project’s revenue and payment cycles are properly managed.

Maintaining the JLL legacy

We uphold excellence in everything we do—that has been essential to our more than 200 years of staying power. As the person in charge, your task is to continue our tradition of project success. You’ll accomplish this by creating a network of professional consultants who can deliver the required scope of every project.

Likewise, you’ll handle contract administration of all vendors professionally and according to legal requirements. It’s the best way to protect both our and the clients’ commercial interests. Your expertise will also be central in identifying project risks and mitigating them. Furthermore, you’ll be responsible for developing project-related reports, analyses and reviews regularly.
