Job Title

Junior Data Scientist

Job Description Summary

This role sits at the intersection of real estate economics, urban analysis, and data science. The Junior Data Scientist will support the development and evolution of Cushman and Wakefield Quantitative Insight Group's (QIG) analytical capabilities by producing rigorous, insight-driven work on commercial real estate markets across the Americas. This position will report to the Head of Data Science and Geospatial Analytics. The ideal candidate is a practitioner who thinks first like an economist, real estate analyst, or quantitative urban planner, and who brings the technical skills to build and operate the data infrastructure their own work requires.
This is not primarily an engineering role, though the ideal candidate will possess data engineering knowledge, skills, and abilities. The Analyst will spend most of their time doing substantive analytical and research work: synthesizing complex datasets, identifying market patterns and anomalies, and producing outputs that inform Cushman & Wakefield's House View, including elements that are unique to QIG, and related analytical products for key clients. At the same time, the candidate should be comfortable constructing and maintaining data pipelines, working fluently in Python and/or R and SQL, and collaborating closely with Technology & Data Solutions (TDS) as a knowledgeable and credible partner.

  • Ensure data integrity and consistency across QIG inputs and outputs through validation, quality control procedures, and structured data interfaces.

  • Perform exploratory data analysis and profiling on raw and processed datasets tovalidatepipeline outputs andidentifyanomalies or inconsistencies.

  • Partner with PRI (Property Research & Intelligence), TDS (Technology & Data Solutions), and the GIS team to ensure governance of time series and geospatial data, particularly as geography-based competitive sets evolve.

  • Serve as a knowledgeable liaison to TDS: translating analytical requirements into engineering specifications, tracking the status of data requests in the TDS backlog, and validating outputs against analytical expectations.

Documentation, Integration & Infrastructure (20%)

  • Develop andmaintaininternal documentation covering data sources, model architecture, data flows, and diagnostic procedures, with attention to field-level lineage and traceability.

  • Proficiencyin Python and/or R for data analysis, modeling, and pipeline construction; working knowledge of SQL. Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) and version control is a plus.

  • Experience working with public datasets commonly used in urban and real estate research: Census products (ACS, TIGER, LODES), BLS, IPUMS, or similar.

  • Ability to produce clean, well-documented, reproducible analytical work and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Comfortable operating in a cross-functional environment, working both independently and alongside engineering and research teams on iterative deliverables.
