Description
As a member of the Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team overseeing corporate office space, this position will lead Workplace Design & Construction (D&C) projects in Japan. This role combines team leadership with deep design, project management, and construction management expertise, while maintaining a customer centric approach. We seek a Construction Manager who demonstrates proven success in a fast-growing real estate organization delivering large scale corporate office projects on time and on budget.
The successful candidate must operate as a true partner fostering highly integrated relationships with all internal and external stakeholders. This person must be comfortable operating on both the strategic and tactical levels, simultaneously diving deep into projects while delivering multiple projects and managing through ambiguity. A proven track-record, expertise, passion for construction management, and strong financial acumen are critical.
The optimal candidate is an experienced and engaging professional who will excel within an entrepreneurial culture – providing vision, leadership, and communication – not afraid to dive deep into details.
