As a private company operating in a high‑growth sector, DC Byte has consistently expanded its global footprint. We are now seeking a world‑class research analyst to help drive our next phase of international growth and innovation.

We are seeking a Senior Research Analyst to join our Americas team based in Reston, Virginia, focusing on data centre market intelligence across the region.

This role is ideal for a professional with experience in real estate, data centre development, or infrastructure analysis, who thrives at the intersection of data, policy, and commercial insight. You will be responsible for the collection, validation, and analysis of market and site‑level data, with a strong emphasis on understanding the regulatory, environmental, and infrastructure factors shaping data centre growth in a market in North America.

As part of a small but dynamic regional team, you will work closely with colleagues in research, analytics, and commercial functions to produce market‑leading insights that guide developers, investors, and hyperscale clients. Occasional travel within the region—to conferences, site visits, and stakeholder meetings—should be expected.

You bring 3+ years of experience in real estate, data centre development, or related infrastructure sectors (such as logistics, industrial, or energy). You’re curious, analytical, and relationship‑driven. You follow policy shifts, incentive programs, and infrastructure investments closely and know how to connect these to commercial strategy. You’re confident presenting insights, writing reports, and working across teams to turn data into actionable intelligence.

• Build and maintain relationships with developers, brokers, planning consultants, utilities, and public officials to deepen market intelligence.
