• Coordinate day‑to‑day reporting and analytics activities, establish priorities, and ensure the successful delivery of data management and business intelligence initiatives.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small analytics team, providing guidance, support, and performance management to drive team success.
• Lead by example and model behaviors consistent with CBRE RISE values while fostering collaboration and influencing stakeholders to achieve shared goals.

• Commercial real estate, facilities management, or integrated services industry experience preferred.
• Proven experience leading teams, managing multiple priorities, and driving successful outcomes in a fast‑paced, client‑focused environment.
• Strong technical expertise in SQL, relational databases, ETL/ELT processes, data modeling, data warehousing, and business intelligence tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
