Senior Research Analyst

We are seeking a Senior Research Analyst to join our APAC team, focusing on data centre market intelligence across South-East Asia.

This role is ideal for a professional with experience in real estate, data centre development, or infrastructure analysis, who thrives at the intersection of data, policy, and commercial insight. You will be responsible for the collection, validation, and analysis of market and site-level data, with a strong emphasis on understanding the regulatory, environmental, and infrastructure factors shaping data centre growth in APAC.

As part of a small but dynamic regional team, you will work closely with colleagues in research, analytics, and commercial functions to produce market-leading insights that guide developers, investors, and hyperscale clients. Occasional travel within the region-to conferences, site visits, and stakeholder meetings-should be expected.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Collection & Management

• Conduct detailed market research on data centre developments, land acquisitions, and infrastructure investments across assigned markets in APAC.

• Gather and verify information from a mix of public sources, government filings, planning databases, and direct stakeholder engagement.

• Maintain and update DC Byte's proprietary database, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across markets.

• Track policy, zoning, and permitting developments that affect data centre site selection and construction.

Market & Policy Analysis

• Analyse market and regulatory trends to identify emerging opportunities, bottlenecks, and pricing dynamics.

• Develop regional insights into the interplay between infrastructure (power, connectivity, water) and real estate availability.

• Produce maps, dashboards, and written reports to communicate findings to internal teams and clients.

• Contribute to forecasts and scenario analyses supporting investment and development strategies.

Stakeholder Engagement & Networking

• Build and maintain relationships with developers, brokers, planning consultants, utilities, and public officials to deepen market intelligence.

• Attend industry conferences and events across APAC to represent DC Byte and stay ahead of market developments.

• Act as a trusted subject matter expert for clients seeking regional context on market activity, supply and demand dynamics, and high-level policy and regulations.
