About the Role

Establish and lead Knight Frank’s enterprise market intelligence capability, synthesizing complex data into a single, authoritative interpretation of market dynamics for senior leadership decision-making. This role resolves the current gap of fragmented market insight by owning the transition from descriptive reporting to interpretive, forward-looking intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Define and continuously evolve a firm-wide signal taxonomy and prioritisation model.
• Establish a forward-looking (1–3 year) signal architecture supporting forecasting and scenario planning.
• Own the Quarterly Market Signals Narrative, synthesizing all relevant inputs into a small set of high-priority, decision-relevant signals with clear directional judgment and confidence levels.
• Explicitly identify gaps in evidence, weak or non-correlating signals and their implications.
• Set the analytical agenda for BI and Data Science through signal prioritisation.
• Ensure alignment of outputs across BI, Data Science, and Research, eliminating fragmented or conflicting interpretations at a senior level.
• Define enterprise use of external economic datasets (e.g. Macrobond).
• Integrate external indicators with internal performance data to enable causal and contextual insight.
• Establish firm-wide standards for signal definition, interpretation, and narrative consistency.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, directly informing market positioning, investment and resource allocation decisions, and response to macroeconomic and geopolitical shifts.
• Influence enterprise-level decision-making, including strategic, commercial, and investment decisions.
• Shape firm-wide understanding of market conditions, replacing fragmented perspectives with a single, coherent view.
• Impact multiple business lines globally (Residential, Finance, Research).
• Influence both short-term tactical responses and longer-term strategic positioning.
• Enable faster, higher-confidence decisions in volatile market conditions.
• Align resources and strategy with real underlying market drivers.
• Establish a proprietary, defensible capability centered on continuous interpretation of complex market dynamics.
• Operate with high levels of independent judgment, determining which signals are material and how they should be interpreted and communicated.
• Accountable for narrative integrity at senior leadership level, without reliance on prescriptive frameworks.

Requirements

• Multi-disciplinary, expert-level knowledge base required.
• Deep understanding of housing and real estate markets (core and prime segments), credit conditions, mortgage lending cycles, refinancing behavior, macroeconomic indicators, and geopolitical drivers.
• Advanced capability in interpreting interdependent economic variables and system dynamics.
• Ability to distinguish leading vs lagging indicators and signal vs noise.
• Ability to assess causality limitations (beyond simple correlation).
• Practical expertise in integrating heterogeneous data sources (internal performance + external datasets such as Macrobond).
• Experience navigating structural constraints (data quality, granularity, timing mismatches, access limitations).
• Ability to operate across analytical domains (Data Science outputs, BI metrics) and commercial judgment (market interpretation, strategic implications).
• This combination reflects breadth (across functions), depth (economic and analytical expertise), and ambiguity (uncertain, dynamic inputs).
