Project and Development Services – (Chennai/India)

What this job involves:

Leading projects to success

As Senior Project Lead you'll take total responsibility for the overall success of major

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

have a mastery of the ins and outs of business—from products and systems to processes,

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

leading from the front while also taking the time to understand their point of view.

For  each  project,  you'll  establish  an  effective  organisational  structure  for  reporting,

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.

Making clients our first priority

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

such, you'll maintain a strong and positive relationship with our clients by identifying

their needs, requirements and constraints. While you act in the clients' best interests

throughout the project duration, you must make sure that the project's revenue and

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.

Maintaining the JLL legacy

We uphold excellence in everything we do—that has been essential to our more than 200

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

who can deliver the required scope of every project.

Likewise, you'll handle contract administration of all vendors professionally and according

to legal requirements. It's the best way to protect both our and the clients' commercial

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.
