About this role

JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way .   Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong.  Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.    Senior Executive Assistant – JLL Technologies Location: CA, Chicago, Dallas offices What this job involves: Property Management Technologies (PMT) — home of Building Engines and Prism — is undergoing an aggressive transformation, and we need a strategic Executive Assistant who can match that intensity. This high-trust, high-visibility position supports the President of PMT and the VP of Product by serving as a true force multiplier in a fast-paced turnaround environment. You'll be the operational backbone that enables executive-level decision-making, touching everything from board materials and organizational changes to sensitive personnel matters. This isn't about managing logistics — it's about treating the calendar as strategy, anticipating needs before they arise, and ensuring two key leaders can focus entirely on driving business transformation. If you thrive in dynamic environments where your judgment shapes outcomes and your discretion protects critical information, this role offers exceptional exposure to senior leadership and meaningful impact on PMT's future. What your day-to-day will look like: You'll orchestrate complex, multi-time-zone calendars for two executives, resolving scheduling conflicts with strategic judgment that weighs priorities and business impact, not just availability. Your coordination of end-to-end travel arrangements and high-stakes sessions — from board updates to quarterly business reviews and leadership offsites — will ensure spaces, materials, and pre-reads are secured before anyone needs to ask. You'll prepare agendas for PMT leadership meetings, capture detailed minutes with action items, and track follow-through to closure, holding the team accountable to commitments. Formatting and polishing executive-level documents and presentations for product strategy reviews, sales structure discussions, and QBRs will be part of your regular workflow, along with creating simple dashboards and trackers that summarize outcomes, owners, and deadlines at a glance. You'll serve as a critical coordination point across the organization, tracking cross-functional workstreams tied to PMT initiatives and flagging scheduling conflicts, dependency risks, and bottlenecks early. Managing confidential business and personnel matters with absolute discretion, drafting correspondence for signature, processing expenses, and supporting governance documentation rounds out your responsibilities. Throughout all of this, you'll interface regularly with REMS Technology leadership offices on shared scheduling and logistics while supporting onboarding for new PMT hires and facilitating small team events.
