Job Highlights
About the Role
The Senior Analyst • Property Data role is based in any UK office and serves as a Business Analyst for PropertyPlanet onboarding decisions. The analyst consolidates, validates, and translates inputs from markets, delivery workstreams, and subject matter experts into clear, evidence-based requirements. The position focuses on structured capability and operational gap analysis between PropertyPlanet and local market systems to determine operational readiness before onboarding. • Develop and maintain a deep understanding of PropertyPlanet’s capabilities and limitations. • Engage early with local markets to understand how their systems and processes operate in practice. • Identify where PropertyPlanet does and does not meet the operational needs of local market systems, focusing on day‑to‑day operation rather than full functional coverage. • Apply CRE domain knowledge to assess whether market‑critical workflows, data structures, and reporting needs are supported. • Clearly document gaps, impacts, and implications, surfacing them early to inform readiness and go/no‑go decisions. • Capture, consolidate, and structure requirements from delivery workstream leads, markets, and SMEs. • Resolve duplication, inconsistency, and ambiguity across inputs before they progress. • Translate validated requirements into clear user stories with unambiguous acceptance criteria for development and testing. • Ensure requirements reflect agreed scope and onboarding decisions. • Engage directly with market leads and contributors to validate accuracy and completeness of requirements. • Facilitate structured playback sessions to confirm shared understanding before finalising requirements. • Challenge unsupported assumptions, vague requests, or “we’ll work it out later” inputs using documented evidence. • Ensure explicit market alignment before requirements enter delivery. • Prepare backlog items so they are clear, complete, and decision‑ready. • Maintain traceability from market input through gap analysis and decisions to user stories. • Remain engaged through validation and UAT phases to clarify intent and support alignment between agreed requirements and delivered outcomes. • Work across delivery workstreams to ensure consistent terminology, assumptions, and artefact quality.

What You Bring
The role requires deep knowledge of Commercial Real Estate (CRE) operations, data, and workflows to assess gaps credibly and engage markets confidently. It is not a prioritisation, sequencing, or solution-design role; decision ownership stays with the Product Owner and technical implementation with delivery workstreams. As the programme stabilises, the analyst may take on more discovery activities based on capability and programme needs. • Mid‑senior level Business Analyst experience within complex, enterprise‑scale programmes. • Proven experience in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) with understanding of core operations, data, and local system usage. • Strong systems and data literacy, including integrations, data flows, and reporting dependencies. • Strong analytical and requirements definition capability across systems, processes, and operating models. • Comfortable engaging senior market stakeholders and facilitating structured validation sessions. • Disciplined, evidence‑driven, and able to challenge inputs without decision authority. • Able to operate effectively in politically complex environments and surface uncomfortable realities calmly.
