  • Maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and customer-first responsiveness in all interactions.
  • Ensure accurate occupancy and move data to support billing, reporting, and strategic planning.
  • Track and document move activity to identify inefficiencies and drive continuous improvements.
  • Support project planning, execution, and post-move evaluations.
  • Manage punch lists and ensure move-related tasks are completed to satisfaction.
  • Maintain documentation for benchmarking and process enhancements.
  • Coordinate with furniture vendors and installers for layouts, deliveries, and installations.
  • Work with moving companies to support reconfigurations, renovations, and relocations.

  • Demonstrate emotional intelligence and a proactive, service-oriented approach.
  • Exhibit strong attention to detail and high-quality standards.
  • Collaborate effectively across teams and vendors with a professional demeanor.
  • Assess customer needs and deliver tailored solutions.
  • Ability to plan, organize and complete work effectively and efficiently.
  • Demonstrate decisiveness and accept responsibility.
  • Willingness to share expertise with others.
  • Provide creative solutions to each new opportunity.
  • Results oriented, accurate and thorough.
  • Positive, enthusiastic demeanor with a professional, service attitude.
  • Ability to assess customer needs and develop programming information.

Experiences/Education - Required

  • Degree in Interior Design, Facilities Management, or a related field preferred.
  • 2+ years of experience in occupancy planning, facilities coordination, or workplace strategy.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint); experience with IWMS (IBM TRIRIGA), AutoCAD, and ServiceNow is a plus.
