Sign up free to see how well your resume matches this role.
What you'll do
- Publish recurring reports on the development portfolio — budgets, forecasts, commitments, spend, and variances — on a consistent weekly/monthly cadence.
- Perform portfolio-level analysis across projects: capital deployment, cost trends, benchmarking across sites, and scenario/sensitivity analysis to support leadership decisions.
- Build clear, decision-ready dashboards and visualizations in Power BI, Tableau, or AI tools; continuously improve reporting so insights are self-serve and current.
- Own the financial view of the full development lifecycle: develop and maintain cost estimates at each stage, track them through execution, and close the loop with estimate-vs-actual analysis at project commercialization.
- Serve as cost estimator for development-stage projects, working with Development, Construction, and Procurement to build defensible, well-documented estimates.
- Feed lessons learned from completed projects back into estimating assumptions, benchmarks, and unit-cost libraries to improve accuracy over time.
- Act as a finance partner to the Corporate Development team and the Energy Origination (EO) team — supporting planning cycles, reforecasts, capital approvals, and ad hoc analysis.
- Reconcile project data between PMIS and NetSuite to ensure a single, accurate source of truth for project financials.
- Support monthly close, accruals, and capital reporting in partnership with Accounting.
- Actively use AI tools to accelerate analysis, reporting, and documentation — and identify new ways to automate manual workflows.
- Improve and standardize templates, models, and reporting processes across the development portfolio.
- Travel to project sites (~10% of time) to stay grounded on site progress and validate assumptions behind the numbers.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of experience in FP&A, project finance, cost estimating, project controls, or portfolio analytics — ideally supporting real estate development, data centers, energy, or large capital projects.
- Strong analytical skills with demonstrated experience in portfolio analysis, cost estimating, budgeting and estimate-vs-actual (lookback) analysis.
- Excellent communication skills; able to publish polished reporting and present findings to corporate and operations stakeholders.
- Comfort operating with ownership and autonomy across the full lifecycle of a project.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Willingness to travel ~10% to project sites.
Nice to have
- Experience with project management information systems preferred (e.g., Procore, Kahua, e-Builder, Unifier, or similar).
- NetSuite preferred; comparable ERP/accounting platforms acceptable.
