What this job involves:

The Senior Project Manager serves as JLL's primary project delivery leader for complex projects for one of our key clients. This role maintains direct client interface and oversees the execution of a diverse project portfolio — including facilities, infrastructure, compliance, safety, and operational initiatives. The position ensures alignment with the client's business plan, key performance indicators and expectations, quality requirements, and governance processes. As the main liaison between JLL and the client's leadership team, you will provide strategic oversight, drive accountability, and consolidate portfolio-level reporting. At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way — for our clients, ourselves and our fellow employees, and this role is central to delivering on that promise. This is a critical role that shapes project delivery success and strengthens client relationships in a fast-paced environment where collaboration and innovation drive results.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Client interface — Serve as the primary JLL project lead and main point of contact for project delivery activities, interfacing directly with client leadership on status, business plan updates, KPI reporting, risks, issues, and escalations.

• Business development — Join RFP calls and contribute as needed.

• Project oversight — Oversee the planning, execution, monitoring, and closeout of projects across facilities, infrastructure, compliance, manufacturing support, and operational categories, ensuring alignment with scope, budget, schedule, safety, quality, and governance requirements.

• Reporting — Consolidate project updates and prepare portfolio-level reports, dashboards, KPI updates, leadership presentations, risk and issue logs, and escalation summaries for both client and JLL leadership.

• Governance — Facilitate governance meetings, portfolio reviews, client update meetings, team coordination sessions, and escalation discussions, while tracking action items, decisions, resource needs, and critical path activities.

• Travel — Occasional travel to the client's site in the US may be required.

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Project Management, Business Administration, Facilities Management, or a related discipline.

• At least 8 years of experience in project management, construction management, facilities project delivery, capital projects, or similar project execution roles.

• At least 5 years of experience leading project teams, coordinating multiple projects, or managing cross-functional resources in a site environment.

• Experience managing facilities, infrastructure, utilities, manufacturing support, compliance, safety, remediation, or operational projects, with a strong understanding of project management processes — scope development, schedule management, cost tracking, procurement support, risk management, change control, reporting, and closeout.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in both English and Spanish.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, GMP, FDA-regulated, life sciences, or manufacturing environments.

• Experience supporting site-based project delivery services for a large corporate, regulated manufacturing, or life sciences client.

• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams, including contractors, vendors, consultants, engineering, facilities, operations, procurement, finance, EHS, and quality.

• Experience preparing and presenting project status reports, business plan updates, KPI dashboards, portfolio reviews, and leadership presentations.

• Familiarity with safety-first, compliance-driven cultures and continuous improvement methodologies in project delivery.
