The Role

Due to the requirement to travel to our properties in the area, candidates are required to be based in the East Scotland area. A full, clean driving license is also required.

This role is for ambitious, target driven and commercially aware individuals who have a passion for our product.

You’ll have responsibility for adding to our extensive portfolio working across a wide spectrum of owners from small landowners to high level corporates and private equity firms. It's key that you can build a strong relationship based on trust and honesty, so that you can provide an excellent service. You’ll need to be professional within your approach and comfortable in arranging site visits to encourage new house owners to join our journey.

• You believe that knowledge is power, so you’re constantly on the lookout for the next industry event to attend, or you’re looking at what our competitors are doing
• You’re comfortable working with analytical tools
• You’re driven by targets
