Location: Central London | Hybrid (3 days office / 2 days WFH)

Salary: £45,000 – £55,000 | Full-time, permanent

Sector: Commercial Strategy & Place Consultancy

The Opportunity

‍

We are working with a well-established commercial strategy consultancy with a strong reputation in place-based advisory work. The firm operates across the UK and internationally, advising major asset owners, developers, and operators on how to maximise the commercial performance of their destinations.

‍

This is a client-facing analyst role at the intersection of data and commercial strategy. You will work on a wide range of destination types — including retail, leisure, and transport-linked assets — producing evidence-led insight that directly informs strategic decisions on tenant mix, commercial programming, and asset positioning.

‍

The team is small, senior, and collaborative. There is genuine exposure to the full project life-cycle, from initial brief through to boardroom presentation, and the variety of work on offer is a key draw for analysts who want to broaden beyond a single sector or asset type.

‍

What You’ll Do

‍

Working directly with senior consultants and clients, your day-to-day will include:

‍

Analysing performance data across footfall, sales, dwell, and consumer behaviour to identify commercial opportunities
Building revenue models, space utilisation frameworks, and spend benchmarks to support strategic recommendations
Researching and benchmarking assets against comparable destinations and market trends
Contributing analytical input to tenant mix, category strategy, and leasing advisory projects
Preparing and presenting client-ready reports and presentations — clear, structured narratives aimed at senior decision-makers

‍

The ability to communicate complex analysis in plain language — both in writing and in the room — is as important as technical ability in this role.

‍

Essential Skills & Experience

3–5 years’ experience in a commercial analytics, strategy, or research role
Advanced Excel — comfortable with financial modelling and scenario analysis
Experience structuring and presenting findings to client or senior internal audiences
Familiarity with performance datasets: footfall, sales, consumer spend, or location data
Revenue or commercial modelling experience, including benchmarking
Strong written communication — able to build a narrative, not just produce charts
Commercially curious, organised,and comfortable working across multiple projects

‍

Desirable Skills

Alteryx or similar data workflow tools
Power BI or Tableau
Experience in retail property, airport commercial, or mixed-use destination environments
Exposure to tenant mix or category planning

‍

‍Relevant Backgrounds

‍

We are open to candidates from a range of sectors. Those likely to be a strong fit include:

‍

Commercial or retail analytics teams within property advisory firms
Specialist retail, leisure, or destination consultancies
Airport or transport hub commercial teams
Consumer or location analytics firms with a client-facing output focus
In-house insight or strategy roles at major retail or mixed-use asset owners

‍

Across all backgrounds, what matters most is evidence of client-facing, commercially framed output — not purely technical or internal analytics work.

‍

What’s On Offer

A varied and intellectually stimulating project mix — no two briefs are the same
Direct exposure to strategic decision-making and senior client relationships from an early stage
A collaborative, experienced team with a strong track record in the sector
Hybrid working with a central London base
Competitive salary of £45,000 –£55,000 depending on experience
