Role Purpose

As an Occupancy Planner, you'll be assisting with the development of migration plans and sequencing of group-level and individual moves as well as facilitate and/or resolve planning issues identified in customer planning meetings.

You'll need to have a great knowledge in Corporate Real Estate. In this role, you will prepare and update project status reports on actual seat demand versus projected seat demand at the building level, reporting out on the current supply and capacity, and forecast inventory changes as required. You'll be charged with assembling, updating and reporting the top-down and bottoms-up seat count projections collected at the group-level for an annual planning horizon and work with the client to reconcile discrepancies from top-down projections, as well as track and report actual seat demand at the group level.

Your role is virtual, but it's required that anyone who may visit the work site in the future be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and be able to provide proof of such vaccination at the time of hire. The CDC defines fully vaccinated as receiving two (2) doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one (1) dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and 2 weeks have passed from the date of your final vaccination shot. Failure to provide proof of vaccination may result in asking for your removal from the account.
