The role offers a unique combination of reporting, analysis, stakeholder engagement and project work, with regular visibility to senior leadership and the chance to contribute to key business decisions.

As part of the Global Valuation team, you will work closely with regional valuation teams on reporting, analysis and business‐critical deliverables across multiple markets. As a member of this team, you will have the opportunity to work on a broad range of high‐impact activities with senior stakeholders, including producing reports and analysis for senior management, consolidating Group IFRS results, or providing data‐driven insights into business performance, emerging trends and key valuation topics.
