As Senior Occupancy Planner, you will be responsible for providing strategic occupancy planning expertise, leveraging a deep understanding of our client's space supply and demand to develop scenario and occupancy plans for our client's portfolio in a designated region.

Responsibilities

Fostering relationships

You'll foster critical relationships between various individuals and organizations, including:

• Business Unit leadership to collect headcount forecasts and resolve headcount forecast discrepancies between their numbers and those collected at the group level,
• Corporate Finance group to gather top-down headcount and growth projections,

• Move coordination and facility management teams to review and approve moves, develop migration plans, and conduct facility audits, and
• Other members of the occupancy planning team to ensure the development of portfolio strategy plans across separate locations.

Driving optimal occupancy planning solutions

Your primary focus areas for this role will be managing the development of occupancy plans, sequencing group-level and individual moves, and resolving planning issues identified during client planning sessions. You will ensure the alignment of planning with corporate guidelines and that all scenarios maximize the use of space. You will recommend, educate, and enforce space policies/standards, procedures, and protocols, notify the client of customer-requested exceptions, and, as necessary, assist in developing site-specific Planning Strategies with Senior Leadership.

Reporting

Interacting with organizational leadership, you will identify space requirements and prepare and update project status reports on actual versus projected seat demand at the building level. In addition, you will report on current supply and capacity, forecast inventory changes as required, and work with the client to reconcile any discrepancies from top-down projections.

Proactive

• Asking the right questions to understand our clients' underlying needs will help you be effective in your role. We will expect you to work independently, multi-task, and manage your time to meet deadlines, as you'll often need to reorganize your daily schedule to deal with your team's changing necessities and requests.

Most importantly, it would help if you look forward to working as part of a diverse, supportive, and talented team.

Dynamic

• Thinking strategically, simplifying the complex, seeing the big picture, and driving results are a few of the role's basic requirements. Moreover, you should thrive on change and have an appetite for risks. We would love your intellectual curiosity towards digital drive, hunger for learning, and urge to meet deadlines.
