About This Role

The Savills OCM Analyst Programme involves six rotations lasting four months each.

The division works on many market-shaping mandates, which will provide you with unmatched exposure and experience of the full lifecycle of an asset or platform.

A Typical Day

• Assume a key role working on projects in both the private and public markets, across a number of service-lines, including valuation, transactional advisory (investment and development agency), development consultancy, capital raising, joint venture structuring, M&A and debt advisory.
• Exposure to a large number of growth sectors, including Build to Rent (Multifamily and Single Family), Purpose-Built Student Accommodation, Co-Living, Senior Living, Hotels and Self Storage.
• Support senior members of the team in delivering exceptional client service.
• Work independently and with colleagues as part of a transactional or project team.
• Perform in-depth research and analysis on the UK and European Living markets.
• Gather comparable evidence in order to appraise the value of assets.
