- Proactive Problem Solving: Take the initiative to identify research needs and anticipate future challenges. Provide proactive insights that help shape client strategies and business decisions.
- Collaboration with Teams: Work closely with the tenant representation and project leasing teams to ensure that research outputs align with business goals. Communicate research findings effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
- Efficiency & Accuracy: Deliver timely, accurate, and relevant research and mapping materials, ensuring that each project meets both internal and client expectations.
