Integrated facilities and real estate services across Africa and the Middle East
CBRE Excellerate operates a regional facilities and real estate services platform serving corporate clients across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The hiring surge—34 roles in the last 30 days across operations, finance, and account management—tracks with their push to standardize service delivery and control supplier costs while scaling energy programs and maintenance automation. Their stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP ECC, Power BI, Concur) with no visible tech adoption, suggesting they're optimizing existing operational workflows rather than building new capability layers.
