Overview

The Occupancy Planner sits at the intersection of data, strategy, and relationship building - translating how people work into how space performs.

• You'll be familiar with the workplace at each site and use that knowledge to manage and resolve requests.

• To be successful in this role, you should be able to see the small moving parts that make up the big picture, and effectively communicate and collaborate with our move coordination team to help plan strategic migration schedules and tactical moves.
