Job description
Job Title: Data Center Land Development Portfolio Management Analyst
This role leads portfolio data management, analytics, and reporting for a fast-growing data center land development portfolio across the Americas region. You will manage complex datasets across multiple systems, ensure accurate and consistent portfolio information, and transform detailed project-level data into clear, decision-ready insights for leadership. Working closely with land development, site services, engineering, construction, finance, legal, and other teams, you will help drive a fast, efficient development process and provide transparent visibility into portfolio health, risks, and performance.
Manage and maintain portfolio data across multiple databases, systems, and reporting tools to ensure accurate, consistent, and reliable information for the Land Development and Site Services portfolio.
Track and maintain key data points across the full real estate development lifecycle, including right of entry, site due diligence, land acquisition and control, land use entitlements, permitting, civil construction and land disturbance, vertical construction, and transition to operational status.
Establish and maintain a consistent portfolio data structure, including project attributes, lifecycle stages, milestones, schedules, status, dependencies, risks, and key performance indicators.
Monitor portfolio data for completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness, proactively identifying discrepancies, gaps, duplicate records, and data quality issues across multiple systems.
Coordinate with project teams and functional stakeholders to validate, reconcile, and update portfolio information, ensuring alignment between source systems and portfolio reporting.
Develop and maintain reports, dashboards, scorecards, and portfolio views that provide clear visibility into project status, milestone achievement, schedule performance, portfolio health, risks, and emerging trends.
Analyze portfolio data to identify trends, dependencies, bottlenecks, risks, opportunities, and performance indicators that may impact delivery across individual projects, markets, or the broader portfolio.
Translate complex quantitative and qualitative portfolio data into concise, decision-oriented narratives that clearly communicate current status, performance, changes, risks, and priorities for leadership.
Support recurring portfolio reviews, business reviews, planning activities, leadership updates, and other operating rhythms by producing accurate and timely data, analysis, and reporting.
Develop and maintain data standards, definitions, governance processes, and documentation to promote consistent reporting across projects, markets, and functional teams.
Support ongoing improvements to portfolio management systems, database structures, reporting tools, dashboards, and data workflows to increase automation, scalability, accuracy, and usability.
Partner closely with internal teams such as Land Development, Site Services, Engineering, Construction, Business Operations, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements and maintain an integrated view of portfolio performance.
Support ad hoc analysis and special projects by combining and analyzing information from multiple data sources and summarizing findings, recommendations, and potential business impacts.
Contribute to and reinforce a culture of data integrity, accountability, transparency, speed, and continuous improvement while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy.
Own complex portfolio datasets across multiple systems, identify when information does not look correct, reconcile discrepancies, and maintain a single source of truth for portfolio reporting.
Identify which projects or milestones are slipping, where the biggest risks or bottlenecks exist, what has changed since the last reporting cycle, and where leadership needs to focus attention.
Work cross-functionally with development, construction, engineering, finance, legal, operations, and other teams to challenge, validate, and clarify data rather than simply accepting and entering information.
3 to 5+ years of experience in portfolio analytics, data management, database management, business intelligence, project controls, real estate analytics, or a similar analytical role supporting complex projects or programs.
Demonstrated experience building, maintaining, and managing databases or structured data systems, including establishing data fields, maintaining records, validating information, and supporting ongoing data quality.
Experience managing and reconciling information across multiple databases, systems, or reporting platforms, including identifying inconsistencies and maintaining alignment between data sources.
Experience tracking projects or assets through multiple lifecycle stages and maintaining accurate records of status, milestones, schedules, risks, dependencies, and key performance indicators.
Proven ability to manage large and complex datasets containing project milestones, schedules, lifecycle stages, geographic information, risks, dependencies, and other portfolio attributes.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify trends, anomalies, gaps, correlations, risks, and performance indicators within complex portfolio datasets.
Demonstrated experience analyzing large datasets and translating findings into clear narratives, insights, trends, and performance assessments for management or leadership audiences.
Experience developing and maintaining recurring reports, dashboards, scorecards, portfolio views, and leadership reporting for operational and executive stakeholders.
Solid understanding of data governance principles, including data definitions, ownership, quality assurance, validation, documentation, and change management.
Ability to reconcile information across multiple databases and source systems and establish a consistent version of portfolio information for reporting and decision-making.
Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage large volumes of changing information while maintaining a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly the ability to explain complex data and analytical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel for data analysis, reporting, and portfolio management.
Experience with tools used for database management, data visualization, and business intelligence, such as Power BI, SQL, Dataverse, SharePoint, or similar platforms.
Ability to work effectively across multiple functional teams to collect, validate, reconcile, and interpret data while maintaining accountability for overall portfolio data quality.
A proactive, analytical, process-minded, and collaborative approach with a strong desire to continually improve data quality, reporting capabilities, and portfolio visibility.
Experience supporting real estate development, land development, infrastructure development, construction, capital programs, or data center development.
Experience specifically with data center development portfolios is strongly preferred.
Experience with Power BI, SQL, SharePoint, Dataverse, or similar database and business intelligence platforms.
Experience with P6 / Primavera or similar project controls tools is a plus.
Understanding of data governance, including data definitions, validation, ownership, documentation, and quality standards.
Degree or professional bckgrnd in Data Science, Computer Science, Real Estate, Business Analytics, Construction Management, or a related field.
Experience in portfolio or project controls reporting, including building dashboards, scorecards, portfolio reports, and leadership reporting.
Experience answering portfolio questions such as current portfolio status, slipping projects or milestones, key risks or bottlenecks, changes since the last reporting cycle, and areas where leadership should focus.
Comfort working cross-functionally with teams such as Development, Construction, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Operations.
