The role

The work dynamics Data & Insights team is looking to recruit a Business Intelligence Specialist to work in its Business Intelligence Team.

The Business Intelligence Specialist will work as part of a highly skilled client-oriented global data community at JLL to develop innovative analytical solutions that support the business's efforts to increase productivity, reduce risk, lift customer satisfaction, and drive revenue.

The Business Intelligence Team is committed to continuous learning and innovation. As such, the job holder will be expected to embrace external industry communities, including Tableau, Alteryx, and Databricks, to ensure their skills constantly evolve and embrace new analytical techniques and functionality within our core BI products.

Business intelligence will be expected to support the development of analytical proof of concepts to demonstrate the potential return on investment and transform proof of concepts into sustainable processes that can be adopted and shared across JLL. This will be done as part of the wider Business Intelligence Analytics Team within JLL, ensuring any developed solutions are documented and embedded within the team's operating framework.

The Specialist Business Intelligence Analyst will be responsible for developing end-to-end analytical solutions for complex business initiatives, being able to translate business requirements into insightful and sustainable dashboards and analysis that support our ability to maximise compliance, increase productivity whilst minimising costs and maximising profit.

The role has been deliberately titled ‘Specialist’; Beyond developing complex solutions, the individual will be responsible for mentoring and coaching other Business Intelligence Analysts within the business. Continuous development and learning are a core component of our Business Intelligence Team, and the individual will be expected to lead development tasks, understand the team's longer-term personal development goals, and collaborate across accounts to benefit the wider JLL Business Intelligence Community.

As the business area’s use of data and analytics matures, so will the business's tools and platforms for Business Intelligence. The Specialist Business Intelligence Analyst will be expected to embrace new technology and techniques, leading the development of Proof of Concepts to demonstrate the potential return on investment and then to transform Proof of Concepts into sustainable processes that can be adopted by the business area and can be shared across JLL.

In addition, the ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to embrace new techniques and technology, taking a high-level business requirement and working in partnership with external experts to develop solutions from conceptual models to actual proof of concepts and sustainable business-as-usual solutions.

The person will be accountable for defining, prototyping, and implementing complex analytical solutions, as well as being able to transform transactional data into meaningful business insights.

The ideal candidate will be a highly skilled individual able to demonstrate strong data visualisation skills, from design thinking to creative solutions. They will be required to work at pace, using agile project management methodologies that enable an iterative approach to project delivery.

Whilst outstanding technical knowledge is essential, it is equally important that the candidate can inspire existing Business Intelligence staff. They will be required to transfer knowledge and skills to existing staff and ensure that the Business Intelligence Team is continuously learning and developing as a peer group rather than a set of individuals.
