Company overview

PMA are the world’s leading independent commercial property research company. Our team of over 70
analysts, drawn globally, analyse and forecast commercial property markets throughout the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and the US. Our clients include most major global property investors.
We recruit the strongest candidates to provide a first-class service to our clients. We also continue to promote from within; many Partner and Associate positions are held by analysts who started their career with us.

We are a motivated company and our non-hierarchical working environment gives recruits the support
needed to expand their skills and become a valuable member of our sociable team. Whilst we are a hard
working company, we also value our informal culture.

Job specification

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, hardworking, and analytical individual to join our UK focused team on a full-time basis.

The role will entail:

• Working as a key part of our UK team in the production of detailed town and city-based research
  reports and the collation of key data sets.
• Undertaking primary and secondary research to develop in-depth knowledge of individual local
  markets, as well as an understanding of key national property market trends.
• Providing direct research support to our clients and in-house teams on an ad hoc basis.
• Taking an active role in the ongoing development of our UK services in terms of report format, data

Your personal attributes

An interest in commercial property: particularly the retail market, along with an understanding of broader
economic and social trends.

A keen eye for detail: you will be part of a team managing data across several UK markets, from collection and input to producing reports and other outputs.

Analytical: you will draw on excellent analytical communication skills, both written and verbally.
Self-motivating: you will work independently from an early stage, requiring self-motivation and excellent
organisation and time management skills.
Computing skills: you will have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
Well-rounded: you will be degree educated with a strong academic record. A rounded individual with a
property interest is more important than the course studied – we employ graduates from a wide range of
degrees across humanities and sciences.

Languages: fluency in English is essential.
