Key job responsibilities

A day in the life

Your primary focus is getting capital approved so buildings get built on time. Day-to-day, you're building CAR packages by pulling cost estimates and strategic context from Real Estate, Pre-Construction, Construction, and Finance into a clear story for leadership.

You review cost accuracy before submissions, flag outliers, and maintain a portfolio-level view of what's approved, in flight, and at risk. During OP cycles, you own timelines, cost aggregation, and the narrative documents behind the numbers. When a process is slow, you fix it.
