Job description

Welcome to Brand Vaughan & Michael Jones, we're known for leading the way on the South Coast. As part of Lomond, the UK's leading network of lettings and estate agencies, we're proud to have 12 offices and over 150 staff ready to assist our customers. With our team's extensive industry expertise and local knowledge, we're here to help people find, sell and let their property.

As a Business Development Consultant specialising in lettings, you will play a pivotal role in our Business Development team. Your focus will be on building and strengthening relationships with clients to grow our portfolio of properties for let and management.

Based in Brighton Marina and working across two brands covering the South Coast, you will collaborate closely with the associated lettings branch to drive new instructions from current and prospective landlords, helping to expand our market share in the area.

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the property industry, with a strong emphasis on the lettings market. You will work closely with Sales, New Homes & our Property Management departments, to provide clients with an all-encompassing perspective on property letting and management.

Let’s talk about the role. It involves:

1. Developing the Lettings Portfolio: Foster relationships with landlords, demonstrating the benefits of letting with us and supporting them in choosing our services.
2. Client Advisor: Serve as a knowledgeable advisor, offering clients specialised guidance on lettings, property management, and current market trends.
3. Future growth: Leverage our database to pinpoint and develop future business opportunities, ensuring a steady stream of new property instructions.
4. Internal business partnerships: Work closely with our front office lettings teams, sales teams and property management, to align on client needs and optimize service quality across the board.

We're not just looking for someone who fits our team; we want to be a good fit for you too!

We're looking for individuals with qualities such as:

1. Excited about the prospect of joining a thriving and growing organisation.
2. Enthusiastically seeking a dynamic role filled with daily challenges and diverse opportunities.
3. Innately skilled in interpersonal relations and dedicated to providing exceptional customer service.
4. Showcasing clear and effective communication skills along with strong negotiation prowess.
5. A strong work ethic and desire to go the extra mile to achieve the best outcomes for both our clients and the business.
6. A sales focused mindset with a driven nature and ability to overcome objections and add value to our proposition for clients.
7. Whilst advantageous, industry experience is not essential for this role, as full training is provided.

At Brand Vaughan & Michael Jones, we believe in taking care of our people. That's why we offer some amazing perks and benefits through our engagement platform, LOMONDlife.

Here's what you can look forward to:

1. Our smart spending app gives you discounts at over 900 retailers and our well-being centre is packed with resources to help you get active, eat healthier, improve your financial well-being, and master your mental health.
2. Our Employee Assistance Programme offers free counselling support sessions.
3. Our annual leave purchase scheme, where you can buy up to an extra 5 days of holiday.
4. Get the latest gadgets and appliances with our Smart Tech Scheme.
5. We're committed to reducing our carbon footprint with our Cycle2Work Scheme.
6. We offer enhanced Family Friendly Leave for maternity, paternity, adoption, and IVF.
7. You'll enjoy competitive base pay that aligns with market value, plus incentivised commission and performance bonuses for most roles.
8. Celebrate your loyalty with special days and celebrations for length of service.
9. Planning for retirement? We've got you covered with that important pension pot.
10. We'll support your professional development by funding your professional qualifications, so you can reach your full potential and build your career.
11. And of course, we like to have a little fun too! Our company socials bring our people together. So work hard, and then socialise even harder!

We're excited to offer these amazing benefits to our hardworking teams. It's our way of showing appreciation for your dedication.

At Brand Vaughan & Michael Jones, we value diversity and inclusion. We welcome applicants of all nationalities, backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives.
