Senior Finance Manager, Global FP&A

FP&A Sr. Manager, Global Portfolio Services & Work Dynamics Americas – JLL Location: Chicago or NYC What this job involves: This is a uniquely high-impact role that operates at two altitudes simultaneously. You'll serve as the global FP&A lead for Portfolio Services, synthesizing financial insights from three regions into the cohesive narrative that the PS CEO and CFO take into enterprise conversations. At the same time, you'll run forecasting, three-year planning, and budgeting for Work Dynamics Americas across multiple business lines—WPM, PS, PDS, and WD Platform. Few FP&A roles at this level combine global consolidation with hands-on multi-business ownership. You'll become the person who knows the numbers, understands the story behind them, and shapes where the business heads next—from both a 30,000-foot view and ground level at once. This role contributes directly to JLL's strategic planning and operational excellence by ensuring leadership has accurate, actionable financial intelligence at both global and regional scales. What your day-to-day will look like: You'll consolidate financial inputs, KPIs, and commentary from three PS regions into a single, coherent global story that drives CEO and CFO decision-making, ensuring regional insights translate into enterprise-level strategy. You'll own end-to-end forecasting, three-year planning, and budgeting processes for WD Americas across WPM, PS, PDS, and WD Platform, keeping leadership overlays current and accurate throughout each cycle. You'll run variance analysis against prior forecasts each cycle, sizing risks and opportunities against run rate while gathering direct insight from business stakeholders to inform planning decisions. You'll maintain Monthly Performance Packets with current forecasting and planning data, building deep expertise in client tree nodes and account structures that makes you the go-to resource when complexity increases. You'll serve as the accessible expert for client finance teams, holding office hours on forecasting processes and responding to Teams questions so partners never feel stuck. You'll coordinate every PS submission and deliverable across regions, managing the submission calendar to keep consolidated decks and materials leadership-ready and current. You'll document every process and walkthrough comprehensively, building continuity that survives transitions and vacations while partnering with JBS to shift maintenance tasks offshore and free capacity for higher-value analysis. Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field; MBA, CPA, or CFA strongly preferred given the executive visibility this role carries. Minimum six years of progressive FP&A, financial planning, or related finance experience, including demonstrated experience leading projects or processes across multiple stakeholders. Advanced financial modeling and Excel proficiency with proven ability to build and maintain driver-based models across multiple business lines and regions simultaneously. Experience with Oracle EPM/OCI, Tableau, and PeopleSoft, or equivalent enterprise planning and reporting platforms. Demonstrated ability to consolidate multi-region, multi-business-line data into clear, executive-ready narratives suitable for CEO and CFO review. Strong written and verbal communication skills with the range to handle quick operational questions and build boardroom-ready materials within the same cycle. Sharp attention to accuracy and presentation polish, given that output regularly reaches senior leadership for decision-making. Preferred Qualifications: Familiarity with JLL's forecasting and reporting ecosystem, planning tools, and financial systems architecture. Experience operating at the intersection of global FP&A and finance business partnering, comfortable with both strategic upward-facing work and embedded operational support. Track record of improving or automating planning and reporting workflows, with genuine curiosity about AI and process innovation that translates into tools teams actually adopt. Experience in commercial real estate, facility management, or related professional services industries with complex multi-client structures. Background working with offshore or outsourced finance support teams (such as JLL Business Services) to optimize resource allocation. Proven ability to build relationships with business stakeholders and serve as a trusted advisor during planning cycles. Comfort with ambiguity and rapid context-switching between global consolidation work and detailed regional business line analysis.
