Corporate Strategy Associate

Tishman Speyer creates vibrant destinations and dynamic environments that inspire innovation and connected communities. As a diversified developer, operator, and investment manager of top-tier real estate in 33 markets across the globe, our business choices are driven by the belief that real estate should unlock human potential. Tishman Speyer’s diversified portfolio spans market rate and affordable residential communities, premier office properties and retail spaces, industrial facilities, and mixed-use campuses. We create state-of-the-art life science centers through our Breakthrough Properties joint venture, and foster innovation through our strategic proptech investments. By combining global perspective with local expertise, and a personalized approach, we are able to anticipate our customers’ evolving needs. We were the first real estate company to introduce asset-wide amenity services through our ZO platform, and the first traditional real estate company to create its own flexible space and coworking brand, Studio.

Since our founding in 1978, Tishman Speyer has acquired, developed, and operated 522 properties, totaling 218 million square feet, with a combined value of over $129 billion (U.S.). Tishman Speyer currently has approximately $68 billion in assets under management, including iconic properties such as Rockefeller Center in New York City, The Springs in Shanghai, TaunusTurm in Frankfurt, and Mission Rock in San Francisco.

• A proven record of delivering/managing/contributing to successful strategic consulting engagements
• Self-starter who has the ability to collaborate cross-functionally and drive strategic initiatives from the ground up and lead others

This base range reflects a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skill sets, and/or licensure required of an individual in this particular role.
