Data Applications & Analytics Analyst

LBA Logistics & LBA Properties ("LBA") is a full‑service real estate investment and management company headquartered in Irvine, CA. LBA has a national industrial portfolio in all the major markets throughout the U.S. as well as a diverse office portfolio on the West Coast. LBA is a privately held company founded in 1991 with approximately 250 employees. LBA operates several closed‑end real estate investment funds.

LBA is hiring a Data Applications & Analytics Analyst to support the business applications that power our commercial real estate operations — and the data and reporting that flow out of them.

This role sits close to the business. You will partner with users across leasing, accounting, asset management, operations, and finance to keep core systems running smoothly, troubleshoot data and process issues, and serve as a bridge between business teams and IT. Reporting, integrations, and AI / automation work are part of the role as well, but the primary focus is keeping the business applications working well for the people who rely on them every day.

You will report to the Data Applications & AI Manager and work closely with business teams, IT, vendors, and external consultants. We are looking for someone with a solid grounding in SQL, reporting, and business applications, who is comfortable operating between technical and business teams. You don’t need to be a deep engineer — but you should be hands‑on, detail‑oriented, naturally curious, and capable of investigating data and process issues without constant direction.

Direct applicants only. No recruiters or third‑party agencies, please.
