About the Role:

The CBRE Strategic Transformation team brings market-leading expertise to help clients navigate complexities to develop successful business strategies, make informed decisions, implement robust programmes and utilise the best technologies to unlock value and achieve sustainability from their real assets across real estate and infrastructure. Our clients are Investors, Developers, Occupiers, Operators and Public Bodies across all sectors. We work across the full lifecycle, from strategic inception to implementation, operation and exit.
The team comprises a diverse blend of business strategy, strategic programme management, business transformation and change, digital and real asset advisers drawn from top-tier business consulting and professional services firms. Client service excellence lies at the heart of everything we do. We have a distinct, inclusive and entrepreneurial culture, whereby each individual is encouraged and supported to achieve their full potential, working together respectfully and collaboratively as a cohesive team. Everyone in the team, from junior to senior levels, brings something distinct to our group and our clients, and everyone has a voice in how we shape and grow our business and work together.
Strategic Programme Management (SPM) is a key competency area within Strategic Transformation. It turns strategy into reality by helping clients to structure, plan and implement complex business programmes and companywide transformation programmes, whilst tracking benefits to deliver intended outcomes. SPM works collaboratively alongside clients, often as part of an integrated team. These clients span a diverse range of sectors, including technology, financial services, food & beverage, energy, transport, etc. Services include defining programme strategies and designing programme outcomes through to end to end strategic programme delivery. Alongside this, SPM also provides best practice process optimisation and governance services helping clients drive efficiencies and effectiveness in their RE structures.
With strong growth in demand for our SPM services, Strategic Transformation is looking to expand our SPM team at Senior Consultant level. Real estate sector experience is welcome but not vital, and enquiries from candidates with relevant experience in other sectors and contexts is of interest.
