Work hard, have fun, make history. That"s what we do every day at Amazon. As a key member within Amazon"s Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the Occupancy Planner role will support space allocations and coordinate with space planners to manage, assign, and report on plans for employees and teams.

The Occupancy Planner will be expected to align real estate strategy to business needs in partnership with key GREF stakeholders and maintain a customer-centric approach. The role will partner with business managers and employees to implement workplace design, space planning, and move needs for their assigned region or cities, in order to inform supply and demand allocations and change requests. The role will be responsible for developing recommendations regarding workplace design and space allocation, and translate it into GREF"s broader business requirements that enable effective solutions in alignment with Amazon"s overall workplace strategy.

The optimal candidate is an experienced and engaging professional who will excel within an entrepreneurial culture - providing vision, leadership, and communication - not afraid to dive deep into details and take ownership. They should also understand the nuance of being approachable and consultative- providing direction/recommendations and fostering transparent relationships. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in offering solutions and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause. An ideal candidate is able to navigate high level of ambiguity and demonstrate a bias for action, taking calculated risks in a fast-paced environment.

Key job responsibilities

  • Support real estate areas for space-related tasks, including space allocation and workspace design
  • Oversee the collection, verification, and analysis of headcount and space data, including current capacity and future projections, to support occupancy planning and space optimization
  • Act as a key liaison between occupancy planning teams, GREF partners, and business units. Ensure effective communication and collaboration to gather direction and align occupancy plans with business needs
  • Develop occupancy scenarios and migration plans, evaluating multiple options to deliver data-driven recommendations that support real estate strategy and business goals
  • Support defect resolution processes related to space allocation
  • Manage reporting on occupancy metrics, space allocations, and other relevant data to support real estate decisions and portfolio strategy
  • Oversee operational occupancy requests and coordinate with GREF teams to ensure accurate and up-to-date space utilization data and as-built documentation
  • Identify opportunities for improving move and space management processes, implementing changes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
