• Country portfolio strategy: Support country-level strategies with footprint benchmarks, cost and occupancy profiles, and long-range planning inputs.
• Supply and demand planning: Model real estate supply vs. demand, track critical dates and space requirements, and flag gaps or surplus early.
• Scenario analysis: Build and run portfolio scenarios, and provide data inputs to Strategic Finance for financial modeling and to Transactions for deal planning.
• Dashboards and metrics: Build and maintain dashboards and interactive tools covering portfolio KPIs (cost per seat, cost per sq ft, utilization, occupancy), making sure metrics fit the reporting objective.
• AI-enabled analysis: Use AI tools and platforms to automate data analysis, surface occupancy and utilization trends faster, and speed up scenario and presentation work.
• Market intelligence: Use third-party real estate and occupancy data platforms to gather market, benchmark and competitive insights.
• Presentation materials: Turn analysis into clear, exec-ready decks, summaries and interactive materials, and support project approval requests with proper documentation.
• Ad-hoc decision support: Respond quickly and accurately to analysis requests from leadership and partners.
