JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way.
Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients.

Whether you've got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you're looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.
What this job involves:
We are seeking a Sr. Research Manager to lead and execute the Analytics, Research, and Mapping (ARM) program within Amazon's Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) organization. This role independently owns a bespoke research and insights program for one of the world's most influential corporate real estate organizations, serving as both strategic advisor and hands-on producer. You will create executive-level insights and recommendations while delivering the analytical deliverables that underpin data-driven decision-making. This dual mandate requires executive presence and technical proficiency: someone equally comfortable presenting to C-suite leaders as they are building data visualizations, working in Excel, and leveraging internal AI tools. As a trusted thought leader, you will provide data-driven recommendations aligned with Amazon's immediate and long-term strategic objectives while maintaining ultimate accountability for accuracy and quality of all deliverables.
What your day-to-day will look like:

• Hone and execute a holistic research and insights program for GREF, collaborating with JLL Research, Consulting, Marketing, and business stakeholders across regions
• Serve as a trusted strategic partner to senior client leadership, translating complex themes into clear, compelling, and predictive insights that drive decision-making
• Produce analytical and mapping deliverables (commute studies, portfolio maps, demographic analyses, site-level research) to support portfolio strategy and transactions
• Lead production of pre-defined and ad hoc research requests, ensuring consistent quality and timeliness across multiple stakeholders
• Proactively leverage AI tools, automation, and emerging technologies to maximize efficiency and streamline repetitive tasks
• Communicate insights via traditional reporting and advanced data visualization tools, including JLL's proprietary technologies and GIS platforms (MapIT, ArcGIS, or similar)
• Coordinate across internal and external stakeholders to manage research intake, prioritization, and delivery timelines

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in business, economics, urban planning, real estate, or related field
• 7+ years in commercial real estate research, consulting, or closely related field; industrial or office sector experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to operate as both strategic leader and hands-on producer and own the full lifecycle from executive presentation through deliverable production
• Strong analytical and quantitative skillset with a data excellence mindset; ability to synthesize complex information into actionable insights
• Dynamic presentation skills and executive presence; experienced engaging senior leaders with insight-driven content
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint required
• Command of commercial real estate fundamentals with the strategic orientation to translate knowledge into forward-looking recommendations

Preferred Qualifications:

• GIS experience (MapIT, ArcGIS, or similar platforms)
• Proven ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a matrixed, geographically dispersed organization
• Comfort leveraging AI tools, automation platforms, and emerging technologies to scale individual output
• Experience maintaining deep knowledge of macro and micro factors affecting corporate real estate
• Track record of building strong relationships across complex client organizations and internal networks
