Job Description

Newmark UK is experiencing a period of investment and rapid growth. Our investor, developer and occupier clients have unique real estate advisory needs across a wide range of specialist sectors. The UK Business Development team is split into three teams to support growth: Bids, Client Partnerships and Newmark’s International Desk. This role is primarily focussed on supporting the International Desk, but there will be a team-wide working relationship for specific projects.



The International Desk is our dedicated team for coordinating international flows of business within the Newmark Group and wider group of affiliate firms.


The Desk sits centrally to the organisation and interacts with a broad geography – EMEA, APAC, USA, and LATAM. Working with both an internal and external client base, the primary function is to enable professionals of the group to deliver excellent client service beyond their own geographical borders, and handles a full range of commercial real estate sectors and services. The majority of flows are currently between the USA and Europe, where the International Desk serves all Newmark brokers in the USA – it is their key point of contact for requirements in EMEA and APAC.


The International Desk collaborates closely with the Client Partnerships team, who provide relationship management support to a portfolio of strategically important clients, on a UK and global level. Working together, the teams ensure new business opportunities are identified, efficiently managed and introduced to the most suitable client teams to deliver growth for the firm.
