Our purpose is to bring clarity, creativity, and conviction to the complex. We are experts who collaborate to create value, not just preserve it and our team is built for impact, not oversight.
We specialise in high-value, complex assets across the property lifecycle, where political, technical or commercial challenges demand a joined-up approach.

We aim to provide our stakeholders, clients and the wider market with original insight that helps guide and shape business decisions and draws attention to Montagu Evans’ offer, as well as providing bespoke, paid-for research and analysis on specific topics.

The successful candidate would work with the head of research on devising and executing our research programme, with responsibilities ranging from data collection and analysis through to content delivery.
