Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon. Global Real Estate and Facilities (GREF) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region manages an extensive corporate office portfolio encompassing approximately 10 million rentable square feet (RSF) spread over 43 countries, 86 cities, and 139 buildings. Currently, GREF's EMEA operations are organized into nine distinct areas to efficiently serve its diverse customer base, including various business teams, leaders, and vendors who utilize Amazon's corporate offices. Looking ahead to 2025, GREF plans to restructure its services to align more closely with major Amazon organizations such as AWS, Stores, Devices, and FGBS. This strategic realignment will consolidate the existing nine areas into five geographical regions or "Geos," mirroring the operational and reporting structures of Amazon's key business units.

Amazon's GREF team is seeking a collaborative and detail-oriented Occupancy Planner to work in partnership with the Geo Strategist and Geo Analyst in aligning real estate strategy with business needs. This role will assist in developing and implementing workplace design and space strategies for GEO 1: Europe South, which will oversee 8 countries, 22 cities, 34 buildings, and 2.2 MM RSF. The Occupancy Planner will work closely with the Geo Strategist, Geo Analyst along cross-functional teams and particularly space planners to develop, coordinate and support the implementation of workplace design and space strategies. To ensure optimal service delivery to Amazonians and business leaders, the position requires the candidate to be based within this specific geo, facilitating direct and efficient support for GREF's operations in the region.

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.

This position is office-based; however, Amazon encourages open communication about unique needs for flexible arrangements.
