  • Escalate safety-originated CAPAs to the HSSE Lead for management.
  • Participate in root-cause analysis activities as a contributing resource; final RCA review and approval remains with the Account Director.

  • Confirm the CoE's teams apply documentation standards consistently across regions.
• Risk Management & Risk SPOC Duties
  • Serve as the CoE's Risk SPOC: maintain the CoE's risk register, capturing identified risks, likelihood/impact ratings, mitigation owners, and target closure dates.

  • Chair the CoE's risk discussions or present the risk agenda within existing CoE leadership meetings.
  • Escalate emerging risks or incident trends to the CoE Lead and, where applicable, the JLL Risk platform team.
  • Ensure CoE leadership is made aware of all high-severity risks.
  • Provide risk training to the CoE, including annual MSA training and onboarding risk training for new hires.
  • Review and understand MSA obligations relevant to the CoE's scope and conduct gap analysis on material MSA obligations.
  • Engage with the JLL Ethics Everywhere program and escalate ethical questions, concerns, or violations.
  • Assist in incident management, including prompt escalation of sensitive or high-severity incidents to the CoE Lead and, where applicable, the client.
  • Collaborate with the JLL Risk platform team to align escalation thresholds, risk scoring methodology, and reporting formats with enterprise risk standards.
• Compliance
  • Partner with the JLL Compliance platform team to confirm CoE documentation, risk escalation records, and CAPA files meet contractual and regulatory obligations across applicable jurisdictions.
  • Support audit readiness by confirming CAPA records, risk register entries, and compliance documentation are complete and retrievable ahead of internal or client audits.
  • Track regulatory or contractual changes communicated by the Compliance platform team and confirm downstream documentation updates occur within the CoE.
• QMS Implementation & Liaison
  • Understand the requirements of the global QMS as outlined by Regional QRC Leads and participate in regular Implementation Plan check-ins.
  • Attend monthly QRC Community of Practice sessions.
  • Monitor key quality processes per the QMS: MSA deliverables documentation, training evidence, Quality SOPs tracking, and audit materials.
  • Share global QMS policies and best-practice standards with CoE team members, including during onboarding.
  • Engage Regional QRC Leads for support resolving quality/compliance gaps or non-conformities identified within the CoE's scope.
• Reporting
  • Keep the CoE Lead informed of Implementation Plan progress, risk exposure, and conformance risk.
  • Provide periodic updates to Regional QRC Leads on audit status and corrective actions.
