Director, Transactions Management

.

Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you've got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you're looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.

Join JLL as a Transaction Manager on our dedicated P&G account, where you will own and drive real estate transactions across a regional portfolio. You will work closely with P&G's Real Estate team, local brokers, and JLL project teams to turn business and occupancy needs into successful outcomes. The role goes beyond execution: you will also support portfolio and estate management, and bring strategic thinking to selected projects. If you are a proactive, commercially minded professional who enjoys ownership, variety, and working with a global corporate client, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Lead the end-to-end execution of real estate transactions, including lease and capital acquisitions, sale and leasebacks, and dispositions, keeping tight control of timelines
• Engage with P&G at the start of each transaction to define objectives and agree requirements, then advise them throughout the process
• Apply a project management approach to coordinate tasks, stakeholders, and deliverables across JLL, P&G, and external parties
• Run the Best Broker Programme: appoint and manage brokers, agree commission terms, assess performance post-completion, and oversee commission flow against account KPIs
• Develop negotiation strategies with brokers and incorporate P&G's Critical Lease Terms into agreements
• Support due diligence on new locations and review transaction documents, using economic, demographic, and market data (with JLL Research and local experts) to inform decisions
• Prepare recommendation papers and authorisation reports, and help secure P&G approvals; complete savings calculations and RE financial analysis where required
• Lead regular status meetings and reporting with cross-functional teams, and connect at least monthly with P&G Real Estate Managers on pipeline and upcoming critical lease events
• Provide portfolio and programme management support, including budget forecasts, Mark to Market reports, and KPI data
• Drive continuous improvement by streamlining processes, sharing best practices, and maintaining accurate transaction records in the Market App tool

What We're Looking For

• Proven ability to manage complex transactions and projects to successful outcomes across regional real estate markets
• Strong project and programme management skills, with the ability to prioritise and juggle multiple workstreams
• Strategic, creative thinking, and the capability to support portfolio strategy beyond pure transaction execution
• Excellent analytical and numeracy skills, with advanced Excel and PowerPoint
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including confident leadership of virtual meetings with dispersed teams
• An ownership mindset and "can-do" attitude, with sound independent judgement and the confidence to be assertive within the scope of the role
• Meticulous attention to detail and a firm commitment to deadlines
• Curiosity about AI and a track record of quickly adopting it and finding new ways to apply it in real estate services
• A collaborative, accountable team player who sets high standards and is committed to continuous improvement and customer delight
• Fluent English (additional European languages are a plus); experience with global corporates, a Europe-wide transaction or portfolio background, and RICS or an equivalent real estate qualification are an advantage
