Project and Development Services – (Chennai/India)

What this job involves:

Leading projects to success

projects—guiding teams in each phase to achieve outcomes that exceed clients’

expectations and meet JLL’s commercial objectives. Driven and ambitious by nature, you

tools and best practices. You’ll need to collaborate effectively with a range of stakeholders,

communication and working procedures, and ensure that clear objectives and quality

control systems are in place. You’ll lead a project team that is highly motivated, eager to

contribute, and in sync with the stakeholders’ mind-sets. You’ll also attend project

meetings, submit monthly reports, and monitor project budgets, so an eye for detail and a

structured approach to tasks will serve you well.

The best person for this job is one who always considers what’s best for our clients. As

payment cycles are properly managed.

Keeping an eye on business opportunities is also among the highlights of the job. Do you

have a knack for building rapport with prospects? Your expertise in surveying a client’s

needs and supporting the preparation of PM proposals is key. Likewise, skilfully

developing relationships with other company business lines is a must; we achieve are

biggest success when working together, so clear communication is key, as is

collaboration and team work.

years of staying power. As the person in charge, your task is to continue our tradition of

project success. You’ll accomplish this by creating a network of professional consultants

interests. Your expertise will also be central in identifying project risks and mitigating

them. Furthermore, you’ll be responsible for developing project-related reports, analyses

and reviews regularly.
