GIC Business Management & Operations

Join a small, high-impact team that is key to how GIC's Real Estate business runs, measures itself and makes decisions. RE Business Management & Operations partners closely with investment, finance & operations, technology and data teams to build the platforms, data and reporting that power one of the world's largest real estate investment portfolios.

• Engage internal RE stakeholders to gather user stories and requirements, and co-create platform enhancements across areas such as investment governance, risk management and due diligence and post-investment monitoring and reporting.
• Act as a conduit between business users and developers on RE platforms, writing user stories, planning test scenarios, coordinating UAT and tracking defects to resolution.
• Maintain documentation, operational guidelines and training content for owned workstreams, and escalate risk areas or delivery issues to project sponsors and team leads in a timely manner.
