The Portfolio Strategy & Analytics Leader owns and grows JLL's portfolio strategy, market insights, benchmarking, consulting, and analytics capabilities for Portfolio Advisory clients. This is a builder role: the successful candidate will recruit, develop, and lead a team of strategists and analysts - establishing the standards, tools, and methodologies that make the practice scale. Beyond building and leading the team, this person is a client-facing strategic advisor, engaging with Portfolio Advisory clients on their most complex portfolio decisions, and a visible face of JLL's capabilities in new business pursuits - leading discovery sessions and presenting directly to prospective clients.

The role requires someone equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves on an analysis and standing in front of an executive audience representing the practice. This position can be based in any major city for ease of collaboration with JLL colleagues and clients.
