JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way.
Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.
About the role
We're looking for an Associate Director to join our Workplace Consulting team. In this role, you'll help clients navigate change — working alongside them to understand their challenges, shape practical solutions, and support them through transitions that affect their people, their workplaces, and how their organisations operate.
This is a varied, client-facing role with real ownership. You'll lead projects, build relationships, and bring structured thinking to complex problems — all within a collaborative and supportive team.
What you'll do
-
Partner with clients through change programmes, helping them bring their people with them and make transitions as smooth as possible
-
Lead and manage projects end-to-end — holding plans, timelines, and stakeholder communications together with confidence and care
-
Build trusted relationships with clients, acting as a consistent and credible point of contact throughout the work
-
Collaborate with colleagues across JLL to bring broader expertise and integrated thinking to client challenges
-
Contribute to the team's growth — supporting proposals, developing our approaches, and sharing your perspective on how we can do our work better
What we're looking for
We care more about what you can do than where you've done it. You might come from consulting, an in-house change or transformation role, project management, HR, communications, or somewhere else entirely — what matters is the quality of your thinking and how you work with people.
You'll likely bring:
-
Experience leading or managing change — helping organisations and their people navigate transitions effectively
-
Confidence managing projects, keeping things on track, and communicating clearly with a range of stakeholders
-
Strong interpersonal skills — you build trust quickly, listen well, and can adapt how you communicate to different audiences
-
Curiosity about the broader business challenges organisations face, including how their workplaces and real estate portfolios support their strategy
-
A desire to keep growing — taking on new challenges, broadening your expertise, and contributing to a team that's always developing its offer
We welcome applications from people at different stages of their career and from all backgrounds. If you don't meet every point above but feel strongly that this role is right for you, please still get in touch.
Why JLL Consulting?
Our team works with some of the world's leading organisations on challenges that genuinely matter — how people work, how workplaces can perform better, and how real estate strategy connects to business strategy. No two clients or projects are the same, and we're committed to developing our people and creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.
