The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  JLL is hiring a HR Director in Evanston, IL.

• Role description

  Growth in IL created a hundred small inefficiencies, and JLL is hiring a HR Director to hunt them down systematically. What anchors this Evanston job is ownership; the $159,000 - $254,000, the contract hours, the 10-year ask all hang off that.

  • Run market sizing exercises to prioritize expansion in Evanston
  • Drive strategic planning and quarterly goal-setting across JLL business units
  • Read the Offer Negotiation signals early enough to steer before the quarter closes

  What You'll Bring

  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • An IL work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • Proven track record delivering results as a HR Director
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Demonstrated knack for making the quality-obsessed feel manageable
