About this role
The Savills OCM Analyst Programme typically includes three rotations lasting eight months each. Analysts rotate between different specialist teams within our division, allowing them to gain a thorough understanding of the industry, the Savills business, the Living sectors and our clients, in preparation for the APC and becoming a real estate professional.
Rotations
The OCM Analyst Scheme will include rotations within OCM Valuation and one of our Agency teams (Residential, Student Accommodation & Co-Living, Healthcare & Senior Living, or Europe), as well as either National Development Consultancy, Corporate Finance or Debt Advisory.
The division works on many market-shaping mandates, which will provide you with unmatched exposure and experience of the full lifecycle of an asset.
We invest extensively in developing our people and are flexible in the qualification that you are looking to achieve, be it RICS, CFA, CFI, etc. You will be given exposure to clients from the outset and provided with a platform to build a strong network internally and externally.
A Typical Day
- Assume a key role working on projects in both the private and public markets, across a number of service-lines, including valuation, transactional advisory (investment and development agency), development consultancy, capital raising, joint venture structuring, M&A and debt advisory.
- Exposure to a large number of growth sectors, including Build to Rent (Multifamily and Single Family), Purpose-Built Student Accommodation, Co-Living and Senior Living.
- Support senior members of the team in delivering exceptional client service.
- Work independently and with colleagues as part of a transactional or project team.
- Perform in-depth research and analysis on the UK and European Living markets.
- Gather comparable evidence in order to appraise the value of assets.
- Build and use cash flow models in Excel in order to provide valuation advice or underwrite large real estate agency transactions.
What we are looking for
- Excellent academics including an undergrad degree/master’s degree (2:1 minimum)
- Strong analytical skills – both quantitative and qualitative
- Ability to empower those around them
- Effective communication style with the ability to interact with a variety of personality types
- Ability to challenge in a positive way
- Aptitude towards using Microsoft Excel (ability is not a prerequisite as that can be taught)
- Basic understanding of finance
- Ability to listen to others and collaborate effectively
- Ideally have demonstrable experience in real estate, be it development, investment, private equity or investment banking
- European languages advantageous
Above anything else, we look for passion, a ‘can do’ attitude, drive, distinctiveness, resilience and diversity across our team - so it's important that at all stages of the process you take every opportunity to show us who you are, be honest and be yourself.

Our training and development programme is highly regarded as one of the best in the real estate industry, and has been carefully designed to enable our Analysts to reach their full potential.
