Job Profile: PDS Projects P3/M1   |   Vertical: Multi-site Program Management

Reports to: Program Lead / Portfolio Lead

As a Senior Project Manager in JLL's Multi-site Program Management service line, you will be a critical delivery driver within one of the most specialized and high-volume project management practices in commercial real estate. Our 300+ project managers across the United States manage programs spanning tens, hundreds, or thousands of client locations — from QSR renovations and retail rollouts to technology deployments, rebranding initiatives, and new construction. You will bring deep expertise in managing concurrent projects across distributed portfolios, executing with the speed, consistency, and discipline that national accounts demand.

Your innovative approach, collaborative mindset, and commitment to repeatable excellence will help clients achieve their portfolio goals while advancing JLL's mission to deliver seamless, scalable solutions across every location.

WHAT THIS JOB INVOLVES

As a Senior Project Manager within Multi-site at JLL, you will be an integral part of a dynamic team shaping a brighter way for our clients, our colleagues, and our communities.

• You will manage multiple concurrent projects across a client's distributed portfolio, maintaining consistency in scope, quality, budget, and schedule at every site.

• You will be empowered to own programs end-to-end — from initial solutioning through project closeout — operating with the autonomy and accountability of a senior delivery professional.

• You will collaborate across centralized scheduling, procurement, and reporting functions that define how Multi-site delivers at scale.

• You will partner closely with Program Leads, Portfolio Leads, and client stakeholders to ensure program governance, quality standards, and client satisfaction are upheld across the portfolio.

• Administer contracts, review scopes of work, enforce performance standards, and resolve vendor issues across all assigned projects.

• Drive accountability with trade partners to maintain schedule, quality, and cost targets across a high volume of concurrent projects.

Reporting, Technology & Program Governance

• Maintain accurate, real-time project data across JLL platforms including Certinia, Salesforce, Smartsheet, and client-specific reporting tools.

• Produce portfolio-level reporting dashboards and status updates that enable clients to make data-driven decisions about their real estate capital deployment.
