About The Position

Genentech is currently seeking to hire an Executive Director to provide executive leadership and manage the newly formed Campus Development Team, which reports directly to the Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Workplace. This team will oversee all aspects of campus development related to the implementation of the Campus Vision Plan (CVP) for the South San Francisco campus. The Campus Vision Plan is a long-term strategy for the development of Genentech's South San Francisco campus, based on zoning established in the approved master plan of 2020. The CVP provides a framework for future capital investments on the campus by defining site-wide planning principles and strategies related to infrastructure, connectivity, sustainability, and landscaping.
