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 commercial insight and 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 consultant 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 retail analytics or commercial consulting 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
- Footfall and location data specialists
- 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
