• Participate in client pitches and negotiations, including regional or cross-border assignments.
• Work closely with the Shanghai Retail team, other China offices, and the Asia platform to deliver seamless, high-quality service.

Transaction & Brokerage

• Assist in leading and executing tenant representation assignments in Shanghai and other key cities.
• Coordinate multi-city or regional roll-out projects, ensuring consistency of approach and quality.
• Provide advice on locations, leasing terms, deal structures, and market entry or consolidation strategies.
• Ensure all transactions comply with Savills policies, client requirements, and relevant regulations.

Team & Platform Contribution

• Contribute to building the tenant representation platform by sharing market intelligence, contacts, and best practices.
• Support junior team members where appropriate and help foster a positive, collaborative team culture.
