3h•$70,000 - $200,000•Remote

About The Position

Kroll's Real Estate Advisory Group (REAG) is developing a new benchmarking capability within its existing KREV platform. This capability will aggregate Kroll's proprietary valuation data with industry-standard indices to provide comparative analytics for commercial real estate portfolios. The role involves owning this initiative from conception through delivery and client launch. REAG currently handles a significant volume of assets and asset value annually but has not systematically utilized this data for benchmarking, making this a strategic priority. The position requires collaboration with REAG leadership, valuation practitioners, an engineering team in India, and external stakeholders to create a trusted and utilized benchmark product.

Requirements

5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years focused on data products, analytics platforms, or benchmarking tools.
Working knowledge of commercial real estate valuation (cap rates, discount rates, NOI, DCF methodology) and how appraisers use comparable data.
Credibility in conversations with REAG practitioners and GP clients regarding real estate valuation.
Familiarity with the institutional real estate fund manager (GP/LP) ecosystem.
Experience shipping products that involve structured data ingestion, normalization, and deduplication across multiple source systems.
Demonstrated ability to manage distributed engineering teams across different time zones.
Strong written communication skills, capable of producing PRDs, methodology documentation, and client-facing materials.
Comfort operating in regulated and confidential data environments, including understanding engagement-letter data use restrictions and anonymization requirements.

Nice To Haves

Prior work on a benchmarking, index, or peer-comparison product.
Experience integrating third-party data subscriptions, including attention to licensing and redistribution terms.
Background in financial services, asset management, or a Big Four / valuation advisory firm.
Familiarity with quarterly production cycles and the operational discipline they require.
Knowledge of commercial real estate markets, asset classes, and industry dynamics.

Responsibilities

Own the product roadmap for the REAG Benchmarking Platform across a three-phase delivery plan (Foundation, KREV Integration & Internal Launch, GA & Expansion) over approximately 10 months.
Translate benchmarking methodology into product requirements, including metric definitions, segmentation logic, anonymization rules, and publication cadence, validating with REAG subject-matter experts.
Coordinate across various functions: REAG practitioners, the India-based engineering team (backend, UI, data), Legal, and Business Development.
Manage data source integration, including normalization, deduplication, and historical coverage, across REAG's proprietary valuation systems and third-party index data.
Define the KREV integration experience, encompassing both a dedicated Benchmarking module and an inline portfolio overlay on existing views.
Manage the quarterly production cycle, including data freeze dates, QA gates, publication calendar, and meeting on-time delivery commitments to clients.
Drive pilot and General Availability (GA) launch with selected clients, incorporate feedback, and expand to the full KREV client base.
Track and report progress against targets for coverage, adoption, and reliability.
Manage risks related to data quality, licensing, segment depth, and SME availability, with documented mitigation strategies.
