Strategic Data Analytics Lead: Portfolio Insights & Delivery

CBRE Group, Inc.; Augusta (ME); On-site; USD 120,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

CBRE Group, Inc. is seeking a Data Analytics Program Manager to own the analytics backbone of a fast-scaling energy and power planning function.

You will lead data modeling, centralized trackers, and executive dashboards across hundreds to thousands of sites from initial demand through construction. The role emphasizes turning messy data into actionable insights, driving cross-functional alignment, and building scalable systems that enable timely decisions and capital workflows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in a data analyst or data-heavy program management role overseeing large, multi-variable datasets across complex portfolios.
• PMP certification or equivalent used to structure ambiguity, not just manage schedules.
• Advanced Excel/Sheets and hands-on BI tool experience (Tableau, Power BI, Quicksight, or similar).
• SQL proficiency; Python a strong plus.
• Proven ability to build centralized tracking and reporting infrastructure from scratch across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Experience in capital-intensive industries -- energy, utilities, infrastructure, real estate, or logistics strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to work backward from a messy data landscape and build clean, scalable systems that others depend on.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain centralized trackers spanning the full site lifecycle -- from demand forecasting and site selection through power due diligence, capital approval, utility engagement, and construction delivery -- across a portfolio of hundreds to thousands of locations simultaneously.
• Build and manage data models that integrate inputs from multiple internal and third-party sources into a single, reliable source of truth for portfolio health, risk, cost, and timeline status.
• Design and stand up risk tracking frameworks that embed site-level due diligence outputs directly into downstream PMO and capital workflows, closing handoff gaps between site selection and delivery teams.
• Produce executive-level reporting and dashboards that surface portfolio risk, cost variance, milestone status, and coverage gaps in real time.
• Identify data gaps, ownership ambiguities, and process breakdowns across stakeholder groups and build the mechanisms to fix them -- trackers, playbooks, operating rhythms, and escalation frameworks.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure utility infrastructure and interconnect costs flow accurately into capital approval budgets.
• Drive automation opportunities across high-frequency data workflows and define requirements for tooling improvements.
