Job description

The Company

Our client is a global leader within their sector and operate across multiple sites throughout the UK. They have a superb presence in Leeds and provide expert consultancy-based expertise to a variety of clients worldwide.


The Role

They are seeking to recruit a Cost Analyst to join their expanding team for an initial 12 month Maternity Cover. This is within one of their specialist units, that helps clients optimise costs and ensure compliance across their property portfolios.


This is a data-driven, analytical role focused on reviewing legal documents, interpreting clauses, analysing large datasets, and identifying cost variances. You will work closely with clients and third parties to ensure accuracy, recoverability, and transparency in service charge and insurance expenditure.


Therefore, you will need to have previous experience in a corporate setting, speaking with clients, and analysing large data sets.


Key responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing invoices, legal documentation, and financial provisions
  • Analysing spreadsheets and data to identify variances and trends
  • Checking cost recoverability against lease agreements
  • Liaising with clients and third parties via email, phone, and Teams
  • Preparing reports, updating schedules, and maintaining databases
  • Supporting the team with ad-hoc analytical tasks


Your experience:

  • Exposure to large datasets, legal or corporate documentation, or audit processes is advantageous
  • A background in legal support, data analysis, corporate administration, or property services is ideal


We are seeking a candidate who has:

  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical, process-driven approach
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
  • Clear communicator, confident liaising with clients and stakeholders
  • Professionalism, strong organisation, and ability to manage your own workload
  • Enthusiasm and ambition to drive your career forward


You should be someone who enjoys investigating details, telling a story with data, and working as part of a close-knit team.


The team has a strong record of internal progression, therefore although this is an initial 12 month contract, there could be further opportunity for growth and progression. If you are seeking an analytical role with progression, do not hesitate to get in touch.


Working Pattern & Benefits

  • Hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–5:30pm
  • Fully office based during probation, moving to a hybrid working structure after completion of probation.
  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Strong pension contributions
  • Private medical insurance
  • Income protection
  • + other optional benefits
