The Role: Analyst, EMEA Forecasting
Location: London, UK
CBRE is the world's leading commercial real estate services firm with offices located around the globe. The company's core services include property sales, leasing and management, facilities and project management, investment management and research and consulting.
The Global Forecasting team builds the next generation of real estate intelligence focusing on forward-looking indicators of real estate performance. This is an exciting role sitting at the crossroads of applied econometrics, data science, and AI - all anchored in the most exciting asset classes in the world.
You'll join a small, high-impact team of economists/quants within CBRE's Global forecasting group. The team produces forward-looking models that drive CBRE's subscription intelligence platform - used by CBRE internal stakeholders, top-tier investors and occupiers to make real estate decisions. We expect you to be able to talk and write coherently on economic matters within the context of commercial real estate.
What you will be doing
- Drive quarterly commercial real estate forecasts and contribute to ongoing model improvement, bringing both quantitative rigor and informed views on market trends and emerging considerations
- Author regular economic and property market commentary, translating forward-looking model outputs into clear, insight-driven narratives for our audiences
- Help develop views and forecasts across alternative real estate sectors, expanding the team's analytical coverage and deepening market intelligence
- Build and maintain relationships with sector specialists and research teams across CBRE, incorporating on-the-ground sentiment and market intelligence into quantitative frameworks
- Present forecasting outputs to internal stakeholders and external clients, communicating complex analysis with confidence and clarity
- Collaborate closely with economists and data scientists on R&D projects, model innovation, and the integration of AI and data science techniques into the team's forecasting infrastructure
