Work hard, have fun, make history. That"s what we do every day at Amazon. As a leader within Amazon"s Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the Sr. Occupancy Planner will oversee strategic space planning initiatives and lead tactical management of space allocations within the corporate real estate portfolio for their assigned area or cities. The Sr. Occupancy Planner collaborates closely with various stakeholders to drive successful occupancy planning initiatives and deliver data-driven recommendations for future space requirements.

The Sr. 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 leaders and employees to understand and influence space needs and requirements to inform supply and demand allocations. The role will be responsible for developing strategic recommendations on business line space allocations at a city level by leveraging Amazon"s size and scale and translate business requirements into effective solutions aligned with the 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, while at the same time 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.

  • Oversee the collection, verification, and analysis of headcount and space data, including current capacity and future projections, to support strategic occupancy planning and space optimization

  • Develop occupancy scenarios and migration plans, evaluating multiple options to deliver data-driven recommendations that support real estate strategy and business goals
  • Lead occupancy planning activities, including data collection, scenario analysis, and presentation of recommendation
  • 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
  • Drive process improvements and standardization across occupancy planning workflows 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
