What's in It for You

Professional development
This role is a great résumé-builder, and you can learn a lot in a very short time. You'll gain knowledge of both the real estate and data center industries, and get a broad understanding of our company as you interact with contacts in multiple functional areas. When you become a member of our team, you receive our commitment to your continued development and support.

Make an impact
You will provide analytical insights that support decision-making at various levels. You'll enjoy the satisfaction that comes with knowing your efforts positively impact company growth and your professional career.

Unique culture
You will enjoy a large company impact with a small company feeling. The Boston office is fast-moving while also being laid back. People enjoy coming to work, making it a very pleasant atmosphere. You'll work with a mix of talent and level in a collaborative, people-focused company dedicated to quality and continuous improvement.

Location, location, location
If you're familiar with Boston, you may know Post Office Square downtown. It boasts a range of restaurants and shopping and is both train and bus friendly.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive wage and discretionary bonus potential, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes all you would expect plus some pleasant surprises, like multiple flexible spending plans, a generous company match on the 401(k) plan, and more.

Growth without limits
We merged with DuPont Fabros Technology (DFT), effective in September 2017, accelerating our commitment to provide the most comprehensive set of data center solutions and expertise in the market.

And each is part of the largest ecosystem of world-class US, European, and APAC carriers, hosting physical connection points for the world's telecommunications networks and Internet backbones.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will be a sponge for knowledge, open and willing to learn. You also will understand the importance of grasping the background and context around what you learn. On the one hand, you will take the initiative to learn what you can on your own -- particularly in working through technology challenges to master systems and get what you need. At the same time, there is no "playbook," so you also should be willing to ask for help.

Lots of job postings talk about "good communication skills," but in this role, they are truly essential. You'll need to be able to work effectively with individuals at all levels of the organization and at different locations. Collaboration is key here, so you'll call on your organizational agility to successfully coordinate with different stakeholders and departments across multiple time zones.

Additionally, you'll need to be able to manage numerous assignments, identify priorities and exercise good judgment. We're looking for a skilled and highly motivated individual who can research, compile, analyze, report and present findings in a clear and concise way. To fit in well with the team, you should be able to thrive in a fast-moving, often stressful environment and maintain an easy-going manner and sense of humor, even as you undertake your responsibilities with a sense of urgency.
