About the RoleAs a CBRE Program Manager, you will lead strategic facilities management programs supporting a large, complex national client portfolio consisting of approximately 70,000 locations and over $200 million in annual facilities spend.

- Establish, cultivate, and maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication and problem-solving.
- Identify operational inefficiencies and implement continuous improvement strategies that enhance service delivery and reduce costs.
- Ensure program milestones, deliverables, and performance objectives remain on schedule.
- Manage internal and external relationships in support of strategic initiatives.
- Coach, mentor, and influence project teams and stakeholders without direct authority when necessary.

- PgMP, PMP, or similar project/program management certification preferred.
