This role will own the end-to-end capital approval process for Last Mile's development portfolio — from OP budget planning through Capital Appropriation Request (CAR) creation and approval routing.

Key job responsibilities
Lead OP1/OP2 and quarterly guidance cycles end-to-end, including timelines, stakeholder coordination, estimation, and written narrative documents for leadership review
Build budget inputs by aggregating development costs across AMZL and RSR by building type and design configuration; coordinate with Finance on benchmark analyses and variance bridging
Own the CAR process end-to-end for new development CARs (Real Estate, Land, Pre-Construction, Construction, Startup), including templates, cross-functional coordination, leadership presentations, and approval routing
Maintain portfolio-level schedule lookahead to inform planning cycles and resource allocation
Monitor cost posture from OP through CAR; serve as quality gate on cost accuracy at each milestone and escalate outliers requiring leadership attention

A day in the life
Your primary focus is getting capital approved so buildings get built on time. Day-to-day, you're building CAR packages by pulling cost estimates and strategic context from Real Estate, Pre-Construction, Construction, and Finance into a clear story for leadership. You route approvals, track the pipeline, and follow up when things stall. You review cost accuracy before submissions, flag outliers, and maintain a portfolio-level view of what's approved, in flight, and at risk. During OP cycles, you own timelines, cost aggregation, and the narrative documents behind the numbers. When a process is slow, you fix it.
