Property Is a People Business: JLL Is Hiring in the Philippines and Across Asia Pacific

Commercial real estate does not always come up when people list LGBTQ+-friendly industries. It should. JLL, a myGwork partner, currently has more than 2,350 live roles on our platform — including 46 internships and 9 apprenticeships — and a striking number of them sit in Metro Manila.

Building Pride, and a decade of perfect scores

JLL's LGBTQ+ business resource group is called Building Pride, and it is not a recent addition. The firm has held a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index across successive years, most recently scoring full marks in every category of the 2026 index: workforce protections, inclusive benefits, inclusive culture, and outreach and engagement.

What sits behind that score is the part worth reading. JLL provides transgender-inclusive health benefits and written gender-transition guidelines — the difference between a manager improvising and a manager following a documented process. Spousal and domestic partner health coverage includes adoption. Non-discrimination training covering sexual orientation and gender identity is mandatory for managers and supervisors. The firm recruits into LGBTQ+ communities directly and spends with certified LGBTQ+-owned suppliers, working alongside PFLAG, Out & Equal and The GenderCool Project.

Patricia Raicht, a Senior Research Director who has led Building Pride nationally, frames the business case plainly: when employees feel they belong at work, they can focus all their creative energy on their job and clients. Erik Westerlund, a Director of Finance and Building Pride co-lead, describes the CEI result as evidence of a workplace "where we feel valued and respected."

Why the Philippines matters here

Manila has quietly become one of the most important operational hubs in global real estate services. JLL's live vacancies on myGwork include Facilities Manager and Specialist, Corrigo Service Team roles in Taguig — the kind of technology-enabled facilities and client-service work that anchors long careers rather than short contracts.

For LGBTQ+ professionals in the Philippines, employer choice carries real weight. National anti-discrimination protections remain incomplete, which makes an employer's own written policy the thing that actually governs your working life. A firm with documented transition guidelines and partner benefits is not making a gesture; it is making a commitment you can point to.

Where the jobs are

• Taguig and Metro Manila, Philippines — facilities management, client service teams, and property operations
• Australia — sales and investment roles in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne
• United Kingdom — retail lease advisory, surveying and workplace management in London, Bristol and the regions
• United States — property management, engineering and analyst roles across Los Angeles, Atlanta, Lansing and New York State
• Germany and continental Europe — technical and building services roles
• Early careers — 46 internships and 9 apprenticeships currently open, an unusually large early-careers pipeline for the sector
