We are seeking a Workspace Analytics Lead to define and establish a clear, credible workspace measurement capability that supports space allocation, campus planning, and future workplace design decisions.

This role will focus on determining which workspace metrics truly matter, evaluating how well existing systems and data support those metrics, and delivering foundational dashboards along with a practical analytics roadmap. The goal is to enable leaders to make confident, evidencebased decisions about space utilization and planning.

The role is anchored in an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) as the system of record for space inventory and seat assignments, with additional inputs from workforce, presence, and occupancy data where appropriate.

This is a handson, outcomefocused, timebound contract role—not a longterm system administration or platform ownership position.

Key Responsibilities

Workspace Metrics & Measurement Strategy

• Define a workspace metrics framework aligned to real business and campus planning decisions (e.g., seat supply reliability, capacity risk, space type performance)
• Establish clear metric definitions, assumptions, and calculation logic to ensure consistency and credibility across reporting
• Align metrics to the IWMS as the authoritative source for space inventory, space types, and seat assignments

Data & Tool Assessment

• Evaluate existing data sources and tools (e.g., IWMS, occupancy sensors, badge or presence data, workforce datasets) to assess what can be reliably measured today
• Identify data gaps, integrity issues, and dependencies that impact the usefulness of workspace analytics
• Recommend practical improvements and sequencing, prioritizing optimization of current systems before introducing new capabilities

Dashboards & Insights

• Deliver a small set of decisionready dashboards or analytical views that translate workspace data into clear, actionable insights
• Ensure outputs are designed to support space allocation, planning, and design discussions—not just reporting
• Partner with workspace strategy and design leaders to validate that insights are understandable, defensible, and usable

Roadmap & Capability Development

• Develop a 12–18 month workspace analytics roadmap that progresses from data integrity → baseline visibility → deeper insights
• Define what “good” looks like at each stage of maturity and outline expected deliverables
• Document standards, assumptions, and approaches so the capability can be sustained beyond the contract period

Required Experience 

• Demonstrated ability to define metrics and analytics roadmaps—not just produce reports
• Experience in workspace, real estate, facilities, or portfolio analytics
• Handson experience working with CAFM / IWMS platforms (OpenBlue strongly preferred)
• Power BI and/or Tableau experience
• Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to translate data into executiveready insights
• Ability to operate independently in a contract, outcomefocused role

Nice to Have

• Experience with OpenBlue
• APIbased data integrations and advanced data modeling experience

What Success Looks Like

• Leaders are aligned on a shared, trusted set of workspace metrics and no longer relitigate data
• Workspace dashboards are actively used to inform space allocation and planning decisions
• IWMS data is aligned to defined standards for space inventory and seat assignments
• A clear, actionable roadmap exists for evolving workspace analytics over time
