Projects Technology Analyst

Job Description Summary

The Projects Technology Analyst plays a critical role in supporting our top 4 US banking financial services client's real estate organization by managing, validating, and communicating the technology related cost estimates associated with the BCID 793 capital program. This role serves as the operational and analytical hub between Real Estate Leadership, Project Execution, Technology, Finance, Workplace Strategy, and third-party vendor partners-ensuring that all program applicable projects are accurately captured, validated, prioritized, and reported.

The analyst is responsible for overseeing monthly estimate updates, performing rigorous data quality control, identifying and explaining variances, and preparing executive ready reporting used for governance and capital planning decisions. The role also leads weekly cross functional working sessions, reviews of new projects, and helps refine processes that govern project tracking, ROM estimating, and budget alignment.

This is not a traditional financial analyst position. Instead, it requires a highly organized, detail oriented professional who excels in Excel based reconciliation, thrives in an environment with evolving systems and processes, and brings strong communication skills to bridge gaps between multiple operational groups. Success in this role depends on analytical rigor, proactive issue identification, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to translate complex project and technology data into clear, actionable insights for leadership.
