You Are You have spent years translating business growth into real estate decisions that actually make sense, not just on a spreadsheet but in practice. You know the difference between a portfolio that looks optimized and one that actually supports how people work, and you have built the muscle to get from one to the other without burning political capital or blowing timelines. You are equally comfortable sitting in a lease negotiation, walking a finance partner through a complex business case, or explaining to a business unit leader why their expansion request needs a different answer. You do not need a perfect brief to move forward. You ask the right questions, surface the tradeoffs early, and build alignment as you go. M&A does not rattle you. You have been the person in the room during due diligence who can look at a target company's office footprint and quickly assess what stays, what consolidates, and what creates risk if ignored. You think in systems, not just sites. Process friction bothers you, and you fix it. At Synopsys, you will shape how a global organization thinks about its workplace footprint and you will have the scope and support to do it right.
