This role is on the GREF Business Partnering (GBP) team whose overarching purpose is to create a bridge between each business unit and GREF to align real estate strategies in support of business objectives. As a Manager on GREF's Business Partnering team, you will serve as a Business Partner (BP) for the Devices and Services (D&S) business unit, working with the org's and GREF's senior leaders.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Partnering across enterprise partners (e.g., Finance, PXT, Public Relations, Legal, Security, etc.), all cross-functional GREF real estate teams, Corporate FP&A, and Public Policy to support executive leaders in managing through ambiguity while inspecting and understanding the consequences of choices and trade-offs.
• Building systems and tracking mechanisms to deliver agreed upon SLAs.
• Establishing rhythm of business for each org, integrating GREF into business-level OP1/OP2 planning process and WBR/MBR/QBR cadence.
• Implementing reporting mechanisms to support D&S leaders with data, analytics, metrics, and research to make informed decisions.
• Balancing D&S expectations and needs with Amazon fiduciary stewardship, as well as cost savings mandates and GREF standards/protocols.
• Leading and supporting the development and delivery of S-team executive-level real estate presentations, recommendations, and business cases; incorporating input from GREF teams to secure decisions and alignment for those presentations.
• Overseeing issue escalation processes.
• Partnering with GREF teams and external stakeholders to drive the successful development, implementation, and execution of GREF and D&S strategies across organizations and regions.
• Providing thought leadership, industry best practices and market insights to D&S leadership to inform recommendations and decisions.

A day in the life will involve developing plans and strategies that align with Devices and Services headcount, specialty space (ie. labs), and location requirements globally. These will be created and approved in partnership with Devices leadership, business finance and GREF cross functional stakeholders.

About the team: Our core objective is to connect business operating plans to GREF's operating plan; to do so, we engage directly with stakeholders across all Amazon business orgs and GREF teams. As a result, we deliver business real estate requirements, real estate transaction rationale, and business line reporting.
