at Prologis Management
🏢 About Prologis Management
Prologis Management is a global leader in logistics real estate, uniquely positioned at the intersection of sustainability and modern supply chain innovation. Working here means contributing to solutions that optimize global trade while driving environmental responsibility through their industry-leading sustainability initiatives.
About This Role
As a Senior GIS Analyst at Prologis, you'll lead geospatial analytics projects that directly inform strategic decisions about logistics real estate development and operations. This role is impactful because your spatial analyses will optimize supply chain networks, identify sustainable development opportunities, and create data-driven visualizations that guide multi-million dollar business decisions.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves developing Python scripts to process spatial data from logistics networks, creating analytical models in ArcGIS Pro to identify optimal real estate opportunities, and designing dashboards in ArcGIS Online that visualize supply chain insights for business partners. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine analytical approaches and present findings that inform strategic decisions about Prologis's global portfolio.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Prologis Management Is Looking For
- Has 3+ years building complete analytical workflows using Python (specifically arcpy, pandas, geopandas) and SQL within Esri ecosystems
- Demonstrates proven ability to independently deliver reproducible spatial analyses that answer specific business questions
- Possesses deep expertise in both technical GIS tools (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online/Enterprise) and compelling cartographic visualization
- Can translate complex spatial data into actionable insights for cross-functional teams in logistics/real estate contexts
📝 Tips for Applying to Prologis Management
Showcase specific examples where you've used Python (arcpy/geopandas) and SQL together in complete analytical workflows, not just isolated scripts
Include portfolio samples of cartographic products or dashboards that demonstrate how you make spatial insights accessible to non-technical stakeholders
Highlight any experience with logistics, supply chain, or real estate spatial analysis since Prologis specifically needs business-relevant applications
Quantify the business impact of your previous GIS projects (e.g., 'analysis identified 15% efficiency improvement' or 'informed $2M investment decision')
Demonstrate understanding of Esri's enterprise ecosystem by mentioning specific experience with ArcGIS Enterprise deployment or administration if applicable
