Employment type: Temporary position until summer 2028, with possibility of extension
The Real Estate Operations Lead plays a central role in creating structure, control and quality across Real Estate & Workplace Operations (REWO).
The role combines real estate and financial administration with coordination, reporting, data quality and operational support. A key responsibility is to ensure that lease information, costs, invoices and other portfolio data are accurate, up to date and properly followed up.
The Real Estate Operations Lead works closely with the Head of Workplace & Operations Nordic, the REWO team, Finance, FM partners, landlords and other internal and external stakeholders. An important part of the role is to reduce administrative and coordination workload within the team by taking ownership of matters, following up outstanding activities and ensuring that agreed actions move forward.
The role therefore requires a combination of attention to detail, financial understanding, structure and the confidence to act when something does not look right or is not moving forward.
The Real Estate Operations Lead ensures that REWO has accurate and up-to-date information regarding leases, contractual obligations and critical dates. Pythagoras is a key system for the role and requires both system knowledge and an understanding of the underlying agreements.
The Real Estate Operations Lead plays an important role in maintaining financial control across the REWO portfolio. The role works closely with the REWO Business Controller and ensures that costs correspond with agreements and expected financial outcomes.
The Real Estate Operations Lead manages key administrative and financial processes connected to the FM suppliers’ contract and acts as an important link between REWO, FM partner and Finance.
Reliable data is essential for REWO's management and decision-making. The Real Estate Operations Lead has an important role in ensuring that information across systems is complete, consistent and useful.
The Real Estate Operations Lead works closely with the Head of Workplace & Operations and the REWO team to create structure, maintain momentum and reduce administrative and coordination workload. The purpose is not traditional assistant support, but to take ownership of activities that otherwise require management or senior REWO resources to coordinate and follow up.
The Real Estate Operations Lead is expected to contribute beyond the recurring processes of the role. The person should be curious about how REWO operates and have the drive to identify and independently develop better ways of working.
The Real Estate Operations Lead supports REWO's sustainability reporting by coordinating the annual collection and quality assurance of energy consumption information across the real estate portfolio.
We are looking for someone with relevant experience from real estate, workplace, finance, business coordination or a similar environment. The person should have a good financial understanding and be comfortable working with invoices, reconciliations, cost allocation and financial data.
Strong Excel skills and confidence working across several business systems are important. Experience from ERP, real estate management or lease administration systems is an advantage.
The role requires someone who can combine accuracy and attention to detail with ownership and drive. The right person naturally investigates when numbers or information do not make sense, follows matters through and is comfortable working independently.
Above all, we are looking for someone who enjoys creating structure, takes pride in quality and does not always wait to be told what to do. The Real Estate Operations Lead should be comfortable taking own initiatives, challenging existing ways of working and helping REWO become simpler, smarter and more efficient.
This is an internal role within AFRY, working closely with business stakeholders and support functions to develop and deliver workplace and real estate solutions for AFRY's own operations rather than external clients.
