About Knight Frank
Knight Frank is the world’s leading independent international property consultancy, headquartered in the UK, offering agency and professional advice across Commercial, Residential and Rural sectors. Established in 1896, Knight Frank now comprises a global network of 19,030 people in 512 offices in 60 territories.
We believe property is important - it’s a part of everyday life as well as being the lifeblood of the global economy. What’s more, people want to be inspired by the places where they live, work, shop and play. So, our ambition is to connect people and property perfectly - whether commercial or residential, for occupation, development or investment. Our insightful research further strengthens our ability to achieve this for our clients.
Since our foundation, we’ve built a unique, internationally connected, independent organisation that prioritises long-term client relationships over one-off wins. And we understand that it’s only because of the commitment and passion of our people, who tirelessly deliver excellent client service, that we will continue to thrive. We aim to expand, not for the sake of getting bigger, but to make sure we can deliver our expertise wherever our clients need it. So, as the business grows, we stand ready to deliver on our commitment – locally expert, globally connected.
Our commercial business acts on behalf of institutional, private equity, family offices, sovereign wealth, corporate tenants and real estate companies globally. Our services include but are not limited to office, retail, industrial, leisure, occupier as well as specialist sectors such as student property and healthcare.
Our residential business is involved with some of the most prestigious residential properties around the world, offering a wide range of services including sales, lettings, residential development and consultancy across the global networkScope
The successful candidate will join a project team in the ongoing successful development of Knight Frank’s external property and internal contacts applications.
