Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAeris is at the forefront of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) industry, building networks and applications to enable Fortune 500 clients to fundamentally improve their businesses. We believe IoT will have a profoundly positive impact on the world for generations to come. The improvements made possible through IoT—improving patient care, preserving our natural resources, eliminating vehicle fatalities, and providing power to remote parts of the world—are just now being realized. Headquartered in Chicago with offices around the world, Aeris is the preeminent IoT software company globally powering critical projects across energy, connected vehicles, transportation, retail, healthcare and more.

  • We are owners. Strong managers enable their teams to figure out how to solve problems. You will be no exception and will have the ownership and autonomy needed to be truly creative.
  • Values are essential. We believe in doing things well – and doing them right. Integrity is a core value here: you’ll see it embodied in our staff, our management approach and growing social impact work.
  • We walk the walk on diversity, inclusion and belonging. We’re a brilliant and eclectic mix of ethnicities, religions, industry experiences, sexual orientations, generations and more – and that’s by design. We see diverse perspectives as a core competitive advantage.
  • Career elevation. Create platform for growth where employees can take ownership of their opportunity and make it their own. Grow with the company and elevate your career.

Job Description:
We are in search of an experienced, dynamic real estate and facilities management leader to help us scale our global footprint. Primary responsibilities will revolve around developing and executing a strategy that aligns to and supports the continued growth of the business. An analytical thinker with the ability to plan ahead, manage associated finances, and solve problems will be very successful in this role.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build a team to manage commercial real estate offices and flexible spaces for employees across the globe.
  • In partnership with our brokerage firms identify new offices or co-working spaces
  • Partner with legal on negotiations and lease agreements.
  • Set and manage budgets, track investments, and optimize costs.
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, including property managers, brokers, and landlords.
  • Identify opportunities for value enhancements from our suppliers and vendors.
  • Manage complex projects including office re-location and move management with IT and AV support globally.
  • Proactively identify under and over capacity spaces as well as define metrics.
  • Ensure facilities are safe, environmentally friendly, and compliant with health and safety regulations.

Minimum Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 8-10 years of experience in Real Estate and/or Facilities Management. Experience managing offices globally.
  • Familiarity with real estate databases and research tools.
  • Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with proficiency in financial modeling and data analysis.

Preferred Requirements:
  • Certified Facilities Management (CFM).
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Finance and Project Management software.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex concepts to stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities.

This is a full-time on-site position at the Chicago headquarters.

Aeris walks the walk on diversity. We are a brilliant mix of varying ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages and professional/personal/military experiences – and that’s by design. Different perspectives are essential to our culture, innovative process, and competitive edge. Aeris is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
