We are looking for a Data & Technology Analyst for the Upstream Sustainability Services Business line .

Our Team, Upstream, uses our leading sustainability expertise to support, challenge and inspire our people and clients to create a prosperous economy, a flourishing society and a healthy environment – please see http://transformingrealestate.jll.co.uk/ to see our track record and our ambitions.

The opportunity to work with us will provide you with exposure to several high-profile clients and highly engaging and supportive colleagues.

Our expectation is that you will use your dedication and diligence to bring meaning to large datasets – so that the actions we and our clients take are the best ones.
