Job summary

JLL is seeking a Senior Facilities Manager to provide leadership and operational oversight across a geographically dispersed portfolio of roughly 16 facilities in the Washington, DC metropolitan region, including Arlington, VA.

The role requires active security clearance and 7+ years in facilities management, with a focus on leading facilities professionals, managing budgets, and maintaining building systems. You will drive reliability, safety, and compliance in a complex, regulated environment.

Qualifications

• Active U.S. Government security clearance is required.
• 7+ years of progressively responsible facilities management experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on people-management experience with the ability to coach, develop, delegate and hold team members accountable.
• Strong organizational and prioritization capabilities with ability to independently manage complex demands.
• Strong working knowledge of commercial building systems, maintenance operations, life-safety requirements and facilities management practices.
• Experience responding to significant facility incidents and operational disruptions.
• Experience using computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS)

Responsibilities

• Maintain operational accountability for approximately 16 facilities across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, ensuring awareness of facility conditions, risks, vendor performance, and work-order metrics.
• Balance and prioritize competing demands including work orders, incidents, projects, client requests, preventive maintenance, and operational initiatives across the portfolio.
• Lead response and recovery efforts for significant facility incidents and business disruptions while ensuring proper documentation, inspections, compliance, and operational records.
• Identify recurring operational problems and implement sustainable corrective solutions instead of relying on repeated reactive interventions.
• Directly manage, coach, and develop assigned Facilities Managers, setting clear performance expectations while delegating effectively and maintaining appropriate oversight rather than personally handling every task.
• Serve as primary escalation point for Facilities Managers, resolve issues at appropriate levels, and differentiate urgent matters from business-critical priorities when elevating risks to the IFM Director.
• Build trusted relationships across client leadership, landlords, vendors, and functional partners; translate complex facilities issues into concise, business-focused updates for executive stakeholders identifying impact, risk, action, ownership, and timeline.
• Anticipate operational problems, challenge incomplete information, ensure due diligence before major decisions, and elevate material risks before they become client-facing failures.
• Drive vendor accountability, monitor service levels and performance through Corrigo CMMS, manage work-order aging and prioritization, and identify trends to improve portfolio performance.
• Support financial management including invoice validation, forecasting, and cost control; ensure work is properly scoped and authorized within established controls while identifying and escalating significant variances or financial risks.
