About The Position

The Account Digital Transformation Director is the senior technology, data, analytics, and business intelligence leader for a strategic account serving a major multinational financial institution. This is an embedded, account-dedicated leadership role responsible for translating technology and data capabilities into measurable business outcomes for both the client and JLL. This role owns the technology and data strategy, operational performance, analytics and BI roadmap, and multi-year digital transformation initiatives across the account. This is not a purely advisory role: the leader is accountable for outcomes, for the performance of the technology and data function, and for building and leading the team that delivers them. The role is expected to challenge legacy operating models, drive change at pace, and make the account a proof point for how JLL delivers digital transformation at enterprise scale.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Business, IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
10+ years owning a technology, data, or transformation function — strategy, roadmap, budget, and delivery outcomes.
Proven leadership of teams driving enterprise change at pace: building structure, creating urgency, and delivering through others.
Experience spanning strategy/advisory and hands-on delivery in corporate real estate, technology services, or consulting.
Track record building C-suite relationships and delivering quantifiable business value.
Delivery of data, analytics, and BI capabilities and enterprise data-platform modernization, with fluency in CRE platforms (IWMS, PropTech, smart buildings, IoT), AI/automation, and modern data architectures.
Experience in, or serving, large financial-services or other highly regulated environments.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
