Corporate Real Estate & Workplace Manager
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Corporate Real Estate and Workplace Manager to manage the firm's multi-state operations. The Corporate Real Estate & Workplace Manager leads Degenkolb's corporate real estate and workplace function by managing office projects, workplace standards, facilities coordination, and portfolio reporting. Working closely with the COO and CFO, the role translates executive strategy into successful execution across the firm's office portfolio. This hybrid position can be based in one of our West Coast offices: Los Angeles, Oakland, Orange, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, or Seattle. This is not a traditional facilities management role nor simply a project management position. It is a function-owner role. The successful candidate will independently manage projects, anticipate organizational needs, develop recommendations for leadership, establish repeatable standards, and require minimal day-to-day direction.
