- Manage relationships with IWMS vendors and design teams to ensure timely data corrections and accurate space information.
- Build and foster trust with cross-functional internal and external partners, including facilities, project management, design, technology, and process innovation teams.
- Proactively explore, propose, and implement automation, API integrations, and emerging AI tools to improve database efficiency, reduce manual entry, and accelerate drawing turnaround times.
- Analyze existing space data processes to identify opportunities for structural and operational improvements, and implement enhancements that streamline workflows.
- Manage and coordinate a small remote team, overseeing up to four deliverables at a time while ensuring quality control, clear communication, and timely follow-through with vendors.
- Handle roughly six to ten concurrent projects at varying stages, including intake, data audits, process creation, and improvement initiatives.
