Job Description ##
In the context of the deployment of its strategy and the achievement of institutional objectives regarding risk control, security, compliance, and the sustainability of the real estate heritage, the Direction de l-immobilier is looking for a real estate risk manager, in charge of the project aimed at ensuring the security, compliance, and quality of hospital infrastructures. As such, you will propose, define, and structure a global risk management approach within the framework of asset management adapted to the real estate heritage for which you will lay the foundations, in connection with the issues of hospital business continuity, patient safety, dignified reception conditions, and the sustainability of infrastructures. You will drive this dynamic under the governance of the real estate committee.
In close collaboration with the heads of the owner poles of the Direction de l'immobilier and other directorates of the institution, you will design and maintain a risk mapping, ensuring a methodical and exhaustive vision in order to develop a consolidated vision of real estate risks.
As the guarantor of an integrated vision, you will ensure the consolidation of the risk portfolio and map its interdependencies. You will define, and then implement after validation, a rigorous methodology for analyzing, evaluating, and prioritizing risks related to real estate infrastructures. You will guarantee its dissemination, ownership, and application among the relevant services and sectors. You will participate in the progressive implementation of asset management by integrating from the outset a robust real estate risk management approach, based on the principles of ISO 55000 standards.
You will conduct risk and/or compliance analyses in connection with the sectors of the owner pole. In coordination with the real estate PMO, you will propose a planning of corrective measures taking into account financial and operational constraints.
You will provide methodological and organizational support to sector heads, department managers, and the Direction de l-immobilier, and participate in the updating of processes. You will facilitate coordination between the various stakeholders, support change, and contribute to the development of a risk culture in consultation with the various stakeholders of the institution.

You have developed strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills through your experiences, and know how to interact with management bodies and operational professions.
