Property advisory and transaction services across commercial, industrial, and residential markets
Knight Frank Australia operates a large-scale property services business with 6,000+ staff across Australia and New Zealand, anchored in commercial sales, leasing, asset management, and advisory. The tech stack is dominated by legacy enterprise software (Microsoft Office, Yardi, SharePoint) with no active adoption signals, while hiring remains focused on operations roles (60% of open positions) — a profile typical of established services businesses scaling delivery capacity rather than product or technology innovation. Active projects around capital works, compliance standards, and ISO certification suggest internal operational maturity is a pressing concern.
