What this opportunity involves:

The Workplace Ambassador is the cornerstone of our office environment, delivering exceptional service and support to staff, clients, and visitors. In this dynamic role, you will be the go-to expert for the day-to-day functioning of the office, ensuring the workplace operates seamlessly and reflects JLL’s commitment to excellence.

• Conduct regular health and safety inspections, identify and escalate potential risks, participate as a first aider and/or emergency warden, and ensure compliance with visitor sign-in and incident reporting procedures.
• Act as a central point of coordination for workplace-related projects, including the planning and delivery of a major office relocation, tracking actions, managing dependencies, and escalating risks or issues as required.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, streamline service delivery, and resolve invoice or coding discrepancies in collaboration with internal stakeholders.
• Work closely with the Community Ambassador and the wider JLL Corporate Real Estate team to deliver an exceptional workplace experience, supporting team initiatives and contributing to a collaborative, high-performing workplace function.
