- Process Playbooks: Own, maintain, and continuously improve the CAFM/floor-plan playbook, defining clear guidelines for ownership, approvals, publications, rollbacks, and escalation paths.
Database Administration & Workspace Compliance- Data Maintenance: Maintain accurate, up-to-date floor, desk, room, and neighborhood data. Reflect immediate portfolio changes by modifying space and organizational data.
- Space Standards: Apply space-categorization principles (e.g., BOMA, OSCRE) to interpret floor plans and ensure data categorization aligns with the client's spatial standards.
- Audit Management: Establish, schedule, and perform routine space and data quality audits to proactively resolve data integrity discrepancies.
Workstream Coordination & Relationship Building- Stakeholder Bridge: Collaborate closely with the client's Occupancy Planning (OP) team to track requests, manage project handoffs, and report outcomes, risks, and deadlines.
- Vendor Management: Maintain a strong working partnership with IWMS vendor and design teams to guarantee timely data corrections.
- Collaboration: Foster trust and critical relationships with cross-functional internal and external partners, including Facilities, Project Management, and Design & Construction.
Workplace Technology & Process Innovation- Proactively explore and implement automation, API integrations, and emerging AI tools to drive database efficiency, reduce manual entry, and speed up drawing turnaround times.
- Analyze existing space data processes to identify and implement opportunities for structural and operational improvements.
Qualifications- Ability to work a hybrid schedule (2 days onsite in Mission Bay - San Francisco, California or Costa Mesa, California)
