About the Role
PGIM is seeking a Director of Data & Analytics to influence how Real Estate captures, scales, and applies information across the investment lifecycle, shaping the operating model for analytics, automation, and decision-making. This role requires strong business judgment, domain fluency, and enterprise thinking to bring leaders together around common priorities, definitions, and outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Capture the questions the business needs answered; identify the users, decisions and outcomes that matter.
- Build and continuously refine an analytics roadmap, prioritizing use cases, datasets and capabilities based on decision impact, urgency, scalability and enterprise value.
- Translate business strategy and operating needs into scalable information and analytics capabilities.
- Lead business alignment on common terminology, calculations, ownership, and authoritative definitions, resolving competing interpretations across teams and regions.
- Partner with Systems throughout design and delivery, providing clear business requirements and decisions.
- Lead business validation and certification by confirming accuracy, usefulness, controls, performance, security and readiness with the appropriate stakeholders.
- Define the adoption approach for each data product, including user guidance, training, workflow integration, access, support and communication of the questions the product can answer.
- Govern business access and change by partnering with Data Governance and Systems teams to manage sensitive data, approve changes, preserve trusted definitions and encourage responsible reuse.
- Measure adoption, quality and business impact; prioritize enhancements; expand proven capabilities; and retire content that no longer creates sufficient value.
- Communicate roadmaps, decisions, risks, dependencies and realized value with clarity and executive-level presence.
- Work directly with data and source systems to validate assumptions, understand business meaning, and ensure analytics capabilities are grounded in how the business actually operates.
- Investigate variances, anomalies and reconciliation breaks across investment, portfolio and asset data, running issues to root cause and driving correction at the source rather than adjusting downstream reporting.
- Use analytical tools to validate opportunities, test hypotheses, and confirm business value before larger investments are made.
- Define and pressure-test the calculations, business rules and data definitions behind key metrics, validating them against source data so results reconcile across funds, regions and systems.
- Partner with Systems to ensure datasets and analytics capabilities accurately reflect business processes, decisions, and definitions.
- Translate recurring analytical requests into durable datasets and reusable analytics, eliminating repeated manual effort and one-off spreadsheet builds.
- Assess new internal and external data sources for quality, coverage and fit, and determine how they should be integrated to answer priority business questions.
- Interrogate analytical and AI-generated outputs for accuracy and reasonableness, applying domain knowledge to identify where results do not hold up before they inform decisions.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, real estate, information systems, data/analytics or a related field; advanced degree or relevant professional designation is a plus.
- Significant experience leading data, analytics, information or decision-support initiatives in Commercial Real Estate, investment management, or similar environment.
- Deep understanding of how investment, portfolio, asset or operating decisions are made, with the credibility to challenge assumptions and help senior stakeholders reach alignment.
- Demonstrated ability to frame complex business questions, define scalable information requirements and translate strategy into prioritized roadmaps and measurable outcomes.
- Ability to work effectively with engineers, data professionals and dashboard developers without taking over their technical delivery responsibilities.
- Exceptional stakeholder leadership, facilitation, communication and executive storytelling skills, including the ability to build consensus across business areas with different priorities and terminology.
- Strong judgment amid ambiguity, with a practical orientation toward sequencing work, making trade-offs and delivering incremental value.
- Strong analytical instincts and a willingness to work directly with data to validate assumptions, investigate issues, and build confidence in business outcomes.
- Strong quantitative reasoning and data problem-solving skills, including experience working with large, imperfect datasets and diagnosing quality, reconciliation and lineage issues.
- Practical understanding of data modelling, semantic layers and how Real Estate data is structured across investment, portfolio, asset and operating systems.
- Intellectual curiosity about data, with the instinct to dig into a number that looks wrong and the persistence to find out why.
- Working fluency with modern analytics and data platforms, and enough technical depth to engage credibly on data models, SQL, BI tools, cloud data environments and AI-enabled analytical experiences.
- A collaborative, curious and outcomes-oriented leadership style, with a commitment to trusted information, responsible innovation and continuous learning.
- PGIM welcomes all applicants, even if you don't meet every requirement. If your skills align with the role, we encourage you to apply.
