• Partner with Transaction Management, Lease Administration, Occupancy Planning & Management, Facilities Management, Experience Services, Capital and Finance leaders to frame functional and high-level technical requirements and set realistic expectations
• Serve as the business-side owner of prioritization across service-line demand and Koch Tech / JLL Tech capacity to sequence, negotiate, and make trade-offs explicit against a single, visible intake and backlog

• Leverage LIFT’s core data domains (property information, financials, occupancy/utilization, operations, and HR-adjacent data) as assets to grow and mature to match business demand

• Effectively partner with stakeholders to close material gaps in domains LIFT depends on but does not fully own.
