About The Role
The successful individual will position CBRE as the definitive source of commercial real estate intelligence for the Arizona markets, delivering actionable insights that drive business development, client engagement, and transaction flow across the state's diverse asset classes.
Arizona Field Research translates local market data into strategic intelligence, publishing targeted outputs to support CBRE's brokerage, investment, and advisory businesses. You will lead a team responsible for comprehensive market monitoring across office, industrial, retail, multifamily, data centers, and land sectors, while serving as CBRE's foremost public voice on Arizona commercial real estate trends.
You will work alongside Arizona market leadership to establish a compelling agenda of research outputs, cultivate broker engagement, and elevate CBRE's brand through client-facing thought leadership, speaking opportunities and conferences. Delivering measurable business impact through research — both externally and internally — will be a core measure of success.
What You'll Do
* Business Partnership and Revenue Support: Serve as a strategic research partner to Arizona market leaders and senior brokers, participating in key pitch and pursuit processes, mobilizing team resources to address specific client needs, and presenting market findings in client meetings and presentations to drive revenue growth and deepen client relationships.
* Market Intelligence and Data Operations: Oversee comprehensive market data operation and integrity across the Phoenix and Tucson markets, maintaining CBRE’s proprietary database covering availability, vacancy, lease rates, comparables, development pipeline, and tenant occupancy. Ensure delivery of high-quality quarterly Figures reports, market overviews, building stacks and skylines, and bespoke client-facing outputs.
* Thought Leadership and Brand Positioning: Architect differentiated market perspectives and translate complex local real estate dynamics into compelling narratives for clients, media, and internal stakeholders. Cultivate relationships with Phoenix and Arizona business publications and trade organizations, seeking select speaking opportunities to amplify the CBRE brand and establish CBRE as the leading authority on commercial real estate.
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Orchestrate strategic alignment between local research outputs and national research initiatives, collaborating with national Americas Research leadership, Forecasting, and Sales Management to ensure Arizona perspectives are integrated into national thought leadership products and proprietary data platforms.
* People Leadership and Team Development: Lead and develop the Arizona based research analysts, overseeing hiring and performance management. Foster a high-performance culture focused on analytical excellence, professional development, and collaborative engagement with the broader CBRE business.
