Full Job Description
About the Role

CBRE's Advisory business runs on data, and the data management platform your team owns is how that data becomes insight, decisions, and competitive advantage for clients around the world. As a Product Manager on the Advisory Data & Research team, you'll own the data management platform end-to-end, work side by side with the Research team every day, and sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and the business. You'll be close to the work and close to the users, shaping what gets built and why.

This isn't a coordination role. You'll help set the roadmap and define the vision. You will drive execution and be accountable for outcomes. You'll partner with UX designers to make products people actually want to use, push engineering teams to ship with quality and speed, and represent the product to business leaders and D&T leadership alike. You'll redefine how the platform operates to support a more modern, forward-looking way of working, including how AI is built into the platform to improve data velocity and data quality.

What You'll Do
• Own the Advisory data management platform: set the roadmap and vision for how the platform ingests, manages, and delivers data, and sequence what to build and why.
• Partner with the Research team on a day-to-day basis, embedding their needs and workflows into the platform and translating their data requirements into product direction.
• Redefine how the platform operates to support a futuristic way of working, rethinking architecture, workflows, and data delivery rather than iterating on the status quo.
• Evaluate and lead how AI is incorporated into the platform, with a focus on improving data velocity (speed from source to usable insight) and data quality (accuracy, completeness, and trust).
• Lead a scrum team in delivery: write sharp user stories and acceptance criteria, groom the backlog, lead refinement sessions, and actively participate in daily scrum meetings, demos, and lead user testing and rollout.
• Drive product discovery alongside UX partners. Conduct user research, run feedback sessions, and champion the end-user perspective in every decision.
• Translate strategy into execution by collaborating closely with Engineering, turning product requirements into well-understood, buildable plans.
• Define and deliver specific product implementations end-to-end, from problem framing through launch and measurement.
• Represent your product to business leadership and D&T leadership providing crisp, regular updates and connecting day-to-day work to broader strategic goals.
• Spot problems before they become blockers: proactively identify risks, resolve issues, and communicate with clarity and urgency when it matters.
• Model CBRE RISE values on your team and in every cross-functional interaction: lead by example, build trust fast, and bring people along.

What You'll Need
• 3-5+ years of experience in Product Management, Strategy, Business Analytics, or a related field with a track record of shipping things that matter. A bachelor's degree is preferred; relevant experience counts.
• Hands-on experience leading agile/scrum teams and genuine fluency with the rituals: standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, demos.
• Strong instincts for prioritization. You know how to say no, and you know how to explain why.
• The communication skills to work across levels: from a developer pair-programming to a C-suite stakeholder update, you adjust your style and land your message.
• A bias for the user. You seek out feedback, ask hard questions, and let what you learn change your mind.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and keeping teams focused when the landscape shifts.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and familiarity with modern product management tools.
• Direct experience owning or managing a data platform, data product, or data management system. You understand data pipelines, data models, and how data flows into products.
• Familiarity with applying AI or machine learning to data problems, and a point of view on how AI can improve data velocity and data quality.
• Understanding of data quality and governance concepts: accuracy, lineage, completeness, and trust.
• Experience partnering closely with research, analytics, or data-producing teams.
• Experience in Commercial Real Estate (nice to have).

At CBRE, we believe the future of commercial real estate will be built on data and technology. As a Product Manager, you will be at the center of that transformation, building products that reach real clients, drive measurable business outcomes, and redefine how a global enterprise operates.
• Named a Fortune Most Admired Real Estate Company for 14 consecutive years.
• Named a World's Most Ethical Company by Ethisphere for 11 consecutive years.
• Ranked #3 on Barron's Most Sustainable Company list.
• Access to a global network of technology, data, and real estate expertise, with investment in digital transformation at the highest levels of leadership.
