**JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way**. Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward. **Global Head of Benefits** _Total Rewards | Global HR | JLL_ The healthcare and benefits landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift — driven by cost pressure, new care models, AI-enabled navigation, and a workforce with higher expectations and more diverse needs than ever before. JLL’s scale — 110,000 employees, $700M in annual spend, operations across 80+ countries — means that getting this right has real, measurable consequences for people’s lives and for the company’s ability to compete for talent. It requires strategic vision, financial discipline, deep expertise in a rapidly evolving healthcare and benefits landscape, and the ability to translate complexity into programs that employees actually understand and value. That is what the Global Head of Benefits is here to do. This is a role for someone who is genuinely energized by the intersection of human impact and financial stewardship — who sees benefits not as a cost to be managed but as a strategic lever that drives attraction, retention, and workforce resilience. The healthcare space is moving fast. Pharmacy costs, mental health access, the shift toward value-based care, the rise of AI-powered benefits navigation — these are not trends to monitor. They are challenges to act on. The right leader for this role will run toward that complexity, not away from it.
