What You’ll Do

Own the end-to-end lifecycle of SSR office projects—from market search and test fits through lease negotiation, build-out, furnishing, and move-in—delivering functional, brand-aligned workplaces on time, and on budget.

Drive site selection, leasing, design, construction, and move logistics for new offices, expansions, renewals, and relocations.
With Managements input, develop space programs aligned to headcount, growth assumptions, adjacencies, geographic loctions, and SSR standards; validate sizing against budget and timeline.
Partner with SSR’s broker to create a list, organize tours, and issue/approve RFPs; summarize responses and recommend finalists.
Coordinate test fits—provide program, design standards, and finish samples to landlord (LL) designers; steward design to CD set readiness.
Lead lease document process with LL and real estate counsel; review terms, track redlines, route for approvals, and ensure full execution.
Prepare office design finish packets; review and approve construction drawings for competitive bid.
Work with broker and LL’s construction manager to solicit 2–3 bids; level proposals, select alternates, and recommend award.
Oversee construction—lead OAC meetings, manage change orders, manage TI allowance and budget exposure, and visit sites as needed.
Coordinate IT and security scope (fiber provider, low-voltage vendor, access control, cameras) and align with schedule milestones.
Run internal readiness—populate relocation checklists, lead pre-move meetings, communicate timelines, and ensure exit obligations are met for relocation.
Manage furniture strategy (needs assessment, ordering, vendor coordination) and the physical move, including movers and final clean-up.
Administer lease operations: COI issuance, deposits, AP set-up, day-two punch list, signage/graphics standards, and landlord communications.
Partner with local office leaders on services start-up (mail, parcel, janitorial) and steady-state facility needs.

Minimum Requirements

Who We’re Looking For:

Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Business, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
3+ years managing corporate office real estate projects end-to-end (site selection, leasing, TI build-out, and move-in) for multi-site tenants or owners.
Hands-on experience leading lease processes (RFPs/LOIs, lease review with counsel) and administering tenant improvement (TI) allowances and budgets.
Proven delivery of tenant improvement projects: schedules, competitive bids, OAC meetings, change orders, and punch list through closeout.
Proficiency with Excel-based budgets and trackers; scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project); and PDF markup/review; ability to interpret test fits and CDs.
Working knowledge of office building systems and permitting basics, including ADA and life-safety considerations impacting TI work.
Demonstrated vendor management with brokers, landlords, attorneys, architects/engineers, contractors, IT/low-voltage, furniture vendors, and movers.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present options and secure approvals from executives and stakeholders.
Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sites as needed (approximately 3-5% travel).
Authorization to work in the United States.
