Global real estate advisory with residential, commercial, and investment property services
Knight Frank is a 10,000+ person real estate services firm operating across residential, commercial, and investment property markets. The tech stack is enterprise-standard (Workday, Dynamics 365, Power BI) with no major platform migrations underway — typical of a mature services business. Hiring velocity is decelerating while operations and sales remain the largest hiring vectors, suggesting focus on margin optimization in existing markets rather than aggressive expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Associate Director, Account Lead, Global Account Director, Solutions Director

Beyond brokerage, the business includes capital markets operations, complex portfolio valuations, and cross-border transaction execution. Internal priorities center on expanding office services profitability, improving service delivery quality, and managing the operational complexity of multi-jurisdictional compliance and financial crime risk.
