Public Storage is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to support planning, forecasting, and asset management analytics across the Company's non-same-store, joint venture, commercial, and third-party managed portfolios. Working under the direction of the Senior Manager, Real Estate Finance, this role provides the modeling, reporting, and analytical support behind the Company's budget and forecast cycles, quarterly guidance process, and joint venture partner reporting.

Workday Adaptive Planning is the primary tool for this work, and the analyst will be a daily hands-on user of it — forecasting, maintaining models and reports, and handling routine upkeep. Beyond the numbers, this role partners closely with the operating and asset management teams to interpret property performance, identify where results are diverging from plan, and work with those teams to drive performance and results.

This is a high-visibility position: the work product reaches senior leadership and institutional joint venture partners, and the role interfaces regularly with the Acquisitions, Development, Construction, Lending, and Third-Party Management teams. The ideal candidate combines strong technical modeling skills with the judgment to explain why results are moving, not just what they are.

• Serve as a power user of Workday Adaptive Planning (“WDAP”), using the system to load, build, and iterate on property- and portfolio-level forecasts through each planning cycle.
• Maintain existing planning models and reports — updating drivers and assumptions, adding new properties and entities, refreshing hierarchies and mappings, and keeping structures updated.
• Build and maintain reporting packages driven by WDAP, and reconcile system output against actuals and source data.
• Handle basic administrative tasks in support of the cycle — version setup, sheet and template updates, user access requests, and data refreshes — coordinating with IT or the system owner on anything structural.
• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and standardized reporting packages that distribute planning and actuals data to finance, operations, and executive audiences.

Prepare and maintain property- and portfolio-level budgets and forecasts for:

• Stabilizing Properties — forecast revenue, expense, and NOI for newly acquired and development properties, including timing of lease-up, expense ramp up, and stabilization.
• Joint Ventures — entity-level forecasting, capital calls, capex reserve spend and spillover, distribution waterfalls, and promote calculations.
• Commercial — office, industrial, and retail assets, including lease-level revenue modeling, renewals, downtime,…
