Prologis is seeking a Director, Preconstruction & Development Cost Strategy to support development projects across assigned U.S. East regions. Partnering closely with Development, Procurement, Construction, and Capital Deployment, this role provides early-stage cost intelligence, design-build/preconstruction perspective, contractor engagement, conceptual budgeting, market analysis, and procurement planning to support faster, more informed development and capital deployment decisions.

The role improves development velocity, cost efficiency, and long-term project outcomes through earlier alignment between conceptual design, pricing, constructability, sourcing strategy, and market conditions. The role will support multiple, concurrent pursuits and developments by translating contractor feedback, market conditions, project risks, design implications, VE opportunities, long-lead planning considerations, and cost trends into actionable development guidance and provide value‑based recommendations to support investment decisions.

The role will also help expand Prologis’ cost intelligence and analytics capabilities by owning structured project and market data capture that supports benchmarking, forecasting, and future AI‑enabled insights.
