As a Project Manager, Facilities Readiness, you will help prepare tax offices for seasonal and operational changes that affect physical locations, equipment, office space, and facility-related dependencies. You will manage projects that bring together facilities readiness, real estate, sourcing, technology, vendor coordination, and field operations support so offices have the resources and information needed to open, operate, relocate, refresh, or transition successfully.
This role is important because office readiness directly impacts the associate and client experience. Clear planning, timely coordination, and accurate field-facing guidance help ensure tax offices are prepared to deliver consistent service, reduce operational disruption, and resolve readiness risks before they affect execution. This position may support a variety of projects throughout the year based on business priorities, seasonal needs, office changes, field feedback, and facilities readiness efforts.
