JLL supports the Whole You, personally and professionally. A Planning Manager at JLL typically oversees strategic planning, space management, and workplace optimization for clients or internal operations. Their core responsibilities generally include: Strategic Space PlanningThe Planning Manager develops and implements space utilization strategies that align with client business objectives and real estate portfolios. This involves analyzing current space usage, forecasting future needs based on growth projections or organizational changes, and creating efficient layouts that maximize occupancy while minimizing costs. They work closely with clients to understand their operational requirements and translate these into actionable space plans. Data Analysis and ReportingThey collect, analyze, and interpret workplace data including occupancy rates, space utilization metrics, and cost per square foot. Using IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management Systems) and other planning tools, they generate reports and dashboards that inform decision-making. This data-driven approach helps identify opportunities for consolidation, expansion, or reconfiguration of real estate assets. Project Management and CoordinationPlanning Managers coordinate workplace projects from concept through implementation, working with architects, designers, facilities teams, and contractors. They manage timelines, budgets, and stakeholder communications to ensure projects deliver on schedule and within financial constraints. This includes overseeing moves, adds, and changes (MAC) as well as larger reconfiguration or relocation projects. Stakeholder EngagementThey serve as the primary point of contact between clients, internal teams, and external vendors. This requires robust communication skills to understand diverse needs, present recommendations, facilitate decision-making, and manage expectations throughout planning and implementation phases. Standards and CompliancePlanning Managers establish and enforce workplace standards,



design guidelines, and space allocation policies. They ensure compliance with building codes, accessibility requirements, and corporate real estate policies while optimizing for both functionality and employee experience.
