Research analyst

Who We’re Looking For We are seeking an experienced Senior Property Research Analyst who understands how Australian property markets truly move — not just how to interpret surface‑level data.

This role is suited to a commercially minded, strategic thinker with strong analytical capability and a deep understanding of market cycles, credit conditions, supply‑demand dynamics, and economic drivers. You are confident working across national datasets, identifying emerging growth markets early, and translating complex research into clear investment strategy.

You are not a junior analyst. You are someone who can independently assess markets, challenge assumptions, refine methodology, and contribute directly to high‑level strategic decisions alongside the Director.

Strategic Investment Support

Thoght Leadership and Content Creation

Produce quarterly research reports
