JLL Hierarchy

Hello, Does anyone know what the Hierarchy at JLL is like? What are titles? I did a search on linkedin and I'v seen analysts, senior financial analysts, Managers, associates, Associate Director, VP's, Directors? it got me pretty confused. I'm interested specifically in the Capital Market team. Any info would helpful. Thanks guys.

Analyst -> Associate -> Vice President -> Director -> MD. FYI you can do a people search on JLL's website and sort by function and location.

What IRRelevant is saying is that there is a directory on JLL's website that allows you to filter by team. As you are interested in the Capital Markets team, you can filter down to just the people on that team. You still have to do a little sleuthing to figure out the structure (which is where linkedin helps because it will show how senior people got promoted), but it will give you the breadth of titles available for the group. There are no asset managers on Capital Markets teams and I have never seen a blanket "manager" title anywhere in RE.

 

At a lot of these brokerage firms, peoples' titles don't really mean much. They're more or less meant to sound impressive to clients. When I worked at a similar firm, 90% of the office was a "vice president"

Don't forget "Principal" at some shops.

Oh yes. We had 4 Principals (there are now 6 I believe), 2 additional "Founding Principals," 18 Vice Presidents, 2 Associates, 1 Office Manager, and 4 secretaries.

In many of the brokerages, title is based upon production. Also realize, there will usually (at the larger brokerages at least) be more mid level and higher level brokers because there is such a high burn out rate. It is survival of the fittest. If you can survive and generate business, you will probably make it to the vp level. The few associates are always churning.
