Partners with account leadership, who serve as executive change sponsors, to support successful rollout of initiatives.

What your day-to-day will look like:

Innovation Pipeline Ownership

•Own the account's innovation pipeline end-to-end: source, vet, and prioritize new ideas, tools, and service enhancements against client needs and business case strength.

•Track innovation initiatives using structured logs or dashboards, monitoring status, expected value, and adoption milestones from concept through full deployment.

•Benchmark best practices across JLL's portfolio and the broader industry, translating external innovation into account-specific recommendations.

•Lead and facilitate innovation workshops with clients to surface challenges and co-develop solutions that drive measurable value.

Change Management Support (for Initiatives Owned by This Role)

•Support the change process for each owned initiative from pilot through full implementation, including stakeholder communication, training coordination, and adoption monitoring.

•Create and execute project plans for change-related deliverables tied to this role's initiatives: readiness support, training coordination, communications, and sustainability tracking.

•Monitor stakeholder adoption of changes tied to this role's initiatives and flag resistance or risk areas to the CoE Lead for escalation as needed.

•No specific change methodology (e.g., Prosci, ADKAR) is required; practical experience applying change management principles is sufficient.

Change Champion Support

•Support change champion engagement for initiatives owned by this role, helping champions understand upcoming changes and relay feedback from their teams.

Cross-Functional Partnership

•Partner with Technology & BI, Operations, and account leadership to scope, test, and roll out selected initiatives.

•Coordinate with specialist and cross-functional teams as needed to support initiative delivery; escalate complex stakeholder conflicts or trade-off decisions to the CoE Lead or Account Leadership rather than resolving independently.
