About the Role

We are currently headhunting for a leading Development Director who is looking for a new home, where they can progress to equity within a successful national consultancy, within a reasonable timeframe.

Given within other offices, they already service clients in the public and private sector from both an agency and consultancy perspective, they are particularly strong within public sector advisory, affordable housing, viability, valuations and residential agency. With growing ambitions, no debt and an excellent network of offices across the UK - we are seeking a number of key hires within their Development team.

One of their target markets is: Birmingham.

With an existing network of Surveyors nationally, they are seeking a fee-earning sector/team lead to bring clients and possibly a team with them - and open on sector within this space. Ideally with more of a consultancy-focus as opposed to agency (although they would be open to notable agents), we are on the hunt in particular for those with strong focus in public sector advisory, development consultancy, affordable housing, viability, valuations, CPO, regeneration or strategic consulting.

Your role will be to:

  • Be responsible for fee earning across the Midlands within your specialism.
  • Advise clients of the Business and your own on consultancy work, doing appraisals and giving strategic advice, while you build up a team around you.
  • Be responsible for managing an incoming or future team of Surveyors.
  • Report to SLT and be actively involved in Manchester office leadership alongside others.
  • Be actively business developing further and attend networking and industry events.
  • Support junior Surveyors with their APCs.

In exchange for bringing your client base and knowledge to this team, you will have the opportunity to gain real equity within a leading property consultancy, and earn excellent bonuses through a direct % of your billings, team bonus and referral bonuses to other departments.

Please apply here or give me (Kate) a call to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.

If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.

When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position via kpm@cobaltrecruitment.com.
