Why Digital Realty

Professional development
This is an ideal position if you are a professional looking to broaden your bandwidth. As you can see under The Role tab, you'll gain exposure to just about all activities this team handles. As you grow and develop, you'll be in a position to take on greater responsibilities. We're adding this role to help accommodate strong ongoing growth, and that grow will create opportunities for proven performers.

Fun role in evolving space
You'll join a team that works well together, delivers results and has fun in the process. Right now is an interesting time, as we integrate Digital Realty, which focuses on the wholesale side of the data center industry, and Telx, which focuses on the retail side. In addition, Digital is public and, prior to the merger, Telx was private. It's a powerful combination of two industry leaders, and you'll support the success of a new model that includes the full range of data center options.

High impact team
The Senior Director of Finance is proactive about ensuring this team continues to play an important role in the organization. Our role is evolving and once we master one responsibility we can take on new ones. You'll interact with senior executives frequently, such as the Vice President of Finance. The 1 State Street building is Telx's headquarters and home base for executives in sales, marketing, human resources and other functional areas.

Unique culture
We are a collaborative, people-focused organization dedicated to quality and continuous improvement. When you become a member of our team, you receive our commitment to your continued development and support. We strive to promote a friendly, fun and open work environment, and our dedication to this is reflected in the tenure of our employees.

The 'best of both worlds'
You'll find that working for our company may be a little bit different. We are small enough, with only 1400 employees across our global portfolio, that your hard work will be visible throughout the organization, yet our extensive offering of services and solutions and proven track record of growth; stability and industry-leading innovation give you the resources and tools you need to take your career to the next level.

Stable profile
Our uncommonly strong balance sheet, investment-grade debt ratings and the ability to borrow in multiple currencies provide a global footprint for our customers and risk-reducing diversification for us. That puts us in an excellent position to grow the company, provide financing options for our customers, and continually invest in our properties.

Green standard for sustainability
We are committed to improving the performance and energy efficiency of our data centers through the creation, adoption and promotion of industry-leading best data center practices. Not only do we build to LEED and BREEAM certification requirements, but we also are pioneers in thinking about green data centers, including being a contributing member of The Green Grid.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary on bonus incentive plan, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision plans; flexible spending plans for multiple purposes; a health savings account; a 401(k) plan with company match and much more.

Video: with data centers all over the world, no two are exactly alike. Still, this virtual tour of Digital Chicago gives you an idea of the features and amenities that make Digital Realty the data center provider of choice.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will bring a strong work ethic, analytical curiosity and a desire to learn. There is plenty to do and we often work against tight deadlines, so we'll look to you to get up to speed and start applying what you learn quickly. We'll make sure you are involved in some of the more interesting work, but you also will need to be open to handling some of the less glamorous tasks, like running regular reports. If you're the person we're looking for, you see these tasks as yet another opportunity to learn.

Adaptability and flexibility also will be important. Right now there is a good deal of change under way, and you will support the team's goals of getting into a rhythm with a new set of standardized reports as well as maximizing the proactive while minimizing the reactive. At the same time, this team is constantly evolving, looking for new ways to add value to the company, and exploring new controls and efficiencies.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Financial Analyst, you will:
  • Bring a rigorous approach to your work
  • Remain open to coaching and direction, and accept assignments with a positive attitude
  • Be resourceful in solving problems and achieving goals, but also know when to ask for help
  • Master the nuances of working cross-functionally to get the data and information you need -- this will include developing relationships with key contacts
  • Help identify inconsistencies, leveraging your knowledge of different areas of the company
  • Keep a constant eye out for new ways to streamline processes
  • Exercise strong judgment and common sense
