About JLL

Our people at JLL and JLL Technologies are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.

We’re a professional services and investment management firm specializing in real estate. We help organizations around the world achieve their ambitions by owning, occupying and investing in real estate. We’re a Fortune 500 company operating in 80 countries with 280 offices and a team of over 77,000 individuals, managing a property portfolio of over 4 bn square feet on behalf of our clients.

What this job involves

The HBU Taskforce is a newly established vertical within the consulting team. The focus of this team is on conducting Highest and Best Use (HBU) studies and feasibility analyses for individual plots of land. Unlike teams working on large‑scale or mega projects, this taskforce specializes in smaller‑scale targeted developments.

Key Responsibilities of the HBU Taskforce

• Market Research & Analysis: Conducting thorough market research and benchmarking to understand the best use of the land.


• Site Visits: Performing detailed site visits and analysis to gather essential information for development planning.


• Development Briefs: Creating development plans and briefs for clients which detail what type of projects should be developed (residential, hotel, retail, office, etc.), the number of units, positioning (high‑end, mid‑range) and classification (5‑star, 4‑star).


• Financial Feasibility: Running financial analysis to ensure that the project is commercially viable.

By following this structured approach the HBU Taskforce helps clients make informed decisions about the best use of their property and whether the development plan is financially feasible.

Job Summary/Goals

Strategic management consultants advise organizations about key strategic issues concerning restructuring and progression as well as how to improve profitability, competitive advantage, share value and efficiency. Our consulting practice will help you learn data gathering techniques from primary and secondary sources, site analysis, qualitative data analysis to uncover industry trends, and create detailed client reports. You will be working with a high‑performance team developing multitasking problem‑solving, research and analytical skills. An intern in this department would assist in all the above.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Assist the consulting team on client assignments – market research, financial analysis, report writing, presentation participation and internal/external meetings.


• Market research may require travel within the region subject to visa issues to conduct field research.


• Support the consulting team in preparation of client pitches, presentations and proposals.


• Contribute to the successful execution of other research and marketing initiatives as needed.


• Report to the head of strategic consulting as well as to the respective assignment leads on an ongoing basis.
