- Establish and maintain furniture asset lifetime guidelines, condition assessment criteria, and refurbishment standards that inform replacement planning, budget forecasting, and warranty alignment

- Own the GREF Workplace FF&E Standards (selection, testing, digital catalog) and FF&E Guidelines (design guidance, trade up/down decision logic, playbooks for internal and external teams)

- Develop the FF&E technology strategy, inclusive of disposal method tracking, including evaluating and driving decisions on platform capabilities, integration architecture across regional systems, and AI-enabled asset discovery tools

- Benchmark industry best practices, identify gaps between Global Workplace Design Guidelines and regional trends, and provide solution-oriented recommendations

- Lead cross-functional stakeholder alignment across Design, Construction, MAC, Portfolio Management, Procurement, Finance, IT, AV, Security, and sustainability teams

- Develop cost-avoidance tracking and reporting to quantify savings from procurement consolidation, reuse programs, and vendor strategy; coordinate environmental impact reporting (waste diversion, embodied carbon reduction)

A day in the life

This role is deeply cross-functional. You'll partner daily with Design, Construction, Procurement, Finance, Sustainability, Portfolio Management, and regional operations teams - aligning competing priorities into one global strategy for how Amazon's furniture is specified, procured, tracked, reused, and retired. One conversation might be negotiating a global seating contract; the next, advancing a circular economy partnership or troubleshooting asset data quality with a regional lead across the world. You own the system end-to-end, and you'll measure impact in millions saved and tons diverted from landfill.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of program or project management experience

- Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership

- Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements
