Job description

About the Role

CBRE's Advisory business runs on data, and the data management platform your team owns is how that data becomes insight, decisions, and competitive advantage for clients around the world. As a Product Manager on the Advisory Data & Research team, you'll own the data management platform end-to-end, work side by side with the Research team every day, and sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and the business. You'll be close to the work and close to the users, shaping what gets built and why.

This isn’t a coordination role. You’ll help set the roadmap and define the vision. You will drive execution and be accountable for outcomes. You’ll partner with UX designers to make products people actually want to use, push engineering teams to ship with quality and speed, and represent the product to business leaders and D&T leadership alike. You'll redefine how the platform operates to support a more modern, forward-looking way of working, including how AI is built into the platform to improve data velocity and data quality.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Advisory data management platform: set the roadmap and vision for how the platform ingests, manages, and delivers data, and sequence what to build and why.
• Partner with the Research team on a day-to-day basis, embedding their needs and workflows into the platform and translating their data requirements into product direction.
• Redefine how the platform operates to support a futuristic way of working, rethinking architecture, workflows, and data delivery rather than iterating on the status quo.
• Evaluate and lead how AI is incorporated into the platform, with a focus on improving data velocity (speed from source to usable insight) and data quality (accuracy, completeness, and trust).
• Lead a scrum team in delivery: write sharp user stories and acceptance criteria, groom the backlog, lead refinement sessions, and actively participate in daily scrum meetings, demos, and lead user testing and rollout.
• Drive product discovery alongside UX partners. Conduct user research, run feedback sessions, and champion the end-user perspective in every decision.
• Translate strategy into execution by collaborating closely with Engineering, turning product requirements into well-understood, buildable plans.
• Define and deliver specific product implementations end-to-end, from problem framing through launch and measurement.
• Represent your product to business leadership and D&T leadership providing crisp, regular updates and connecting day-to-day work to broader strategic goals.
• Spot problems before they become blockers: proactively identify risks, resolve issues, and communicate with clarity and urgency when it matters.
• Model CBRE RISE values on your team and in every cross-functional interaction: lead by example, build trust fast, and bring people along.
