Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you passionate about transforming raw data into real business impact? We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Data Strategy & Engineering Lead to architect the future of data at one of the nation’s leading real estate companies. In this role, you’ll do far more than build pipelines—you’ll drive a firm-wide transformation that empowers smarter decisions, accelerates AI integration, and unlocks the full value of our data.
As the firm’s go-to data leader, you’ll work cross-functionally with key stakeholders to understand business needs, build scalable infrastructure, and deliver insights that shape the direction of our company. You’ll play a pivotal role in advancing our capabilities in generative AI, predictive analytics, and beyond.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Architect Our Data Future


    • Evaluate current infrastructure and define a scalable, future-ready data strategy.

    • Establish and maintain data governance, quality, and reliability standards.
    • Build the Engine


      • Design and develop robust ETL/ELT workflows for structured and unstructured data.

      • Create and optimize data pipelines across cloud platforms (preferably Azure, but open to AWS/GCP).
      • Use Python, SQL, and modern tools to turn messy data into business-ready intelligence.
      • Collaborate and Deliver Impact


        • Partner with teams across finance, leasing, operations, and development to understand their data needs.

        • Build intuitive dashboards and reporting tools that bring data to life and support real-time decisions.
        • Champion best practices for data entry, hygiene, and stewardship across the organization.
        • Lead with AI & Innovation


          • Help shape and lead generative AI initiatives—from experimentation to implementation.

          • Collaborate on building proprietary tools powered by machine learning and AI technologies.
