4 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Amazon UK Services Ltd. Full time
As a member of the Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team overseeing corporate office space – this position will lead transaction management activities within the EMEA portfolio.

This role combines transaction management, portfolio strategy, project management skills, and team leadership including vendor team management. We seek a highly experienced leader who demonstrates proven success in a high-volume real estate organization delivering a large volume of simultaneous, complex transactions under demanding timelines.

The successful candidate must operate as a trusted advisor to business leaders, and partner to Finance, HR, and other functional areas.

They will draft and present monthly real estate spend requests demonstrating deep knowledge of both the specific transaction and how it fits into the overall strategy. They should also be a truly authentic leader, balancing the need for effective delivery with the need to be accessible and build relationships, develop talent and demonstrate self-awareness and overall emotional intelligence.

This position will include regular travel throughout the EMEA portfolio.
