Business Development Manager - Property Investment

We're working with one of the most respected names in UK property investment. With an unmatched reputation, a huge audience of active investors, and a sharp commercial focus, this business is leading the way when it comes to sourcing and delivering high-quality investment opportunities. Their growth has been built on trust, deep industry knowledge, and the ability to consistently deliver for both clients and partners.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Business Development Manager who knows the property space and thrives on building strong, lasting relationships. You'll be working with developers, agents, and sourcers to bring in exclusive off-market property deals.

You'll be backed by a high-performing, ethical sales team and a company name that opens doors. This is a role for someone who wants the freedom to go after the right deals, represent a trusted brand, and play a central role in a company with big growth plans.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Lead business development activity to identify and secure high-quality, off-market property investment deals
• Build and maintain strong relationships with developers, agents, and sourcers across the UK
• Negotiate and close deals that deliver exceptional value for investors
• Expand your network and establish yourself as the go-to contact for prime investment opportunities
• Work closely with a high-performing internal sales team who know how to close deals the right way
• Manage full due diligence processes to ensure every deal meets investment and quality standards
• Collaborate with marketing and operations teams to bring opportunities to market effectively
• Keep your pipeline updated and report key KPIs weekly
• Conduct market analysis to spot emerging areas with growth potential
• Travel regularly across the North and Midlands to meet contacts and uncover new opportunities

Why we think this role stands out:

• When you're out winning new business, you're backed by a brand with an incredible reputation in the industry
• You'll have the support of an experienced, high-performing sales team who sell ethically and effectively
• You're given full freedom to go after any property you believe is a great investment-there's trust and autonomy here
• It's a true adult-to-adult working environment where you're empowered to take ownership
• The business is growing fast and this role is central to that growth strategy
• You're encouraged to get out there, network as much as possible, and be visible in the market

What We're Looking For:

• A minimum of 3 years' experience in a Business Development Manager role, ideally within property or investment
• A strong track record of building relationships and delivering revenue growth through strategic partnerships
• An established network in the property space or the hunger and drive to build one quickly
• A genuine passion for property investment and a solid understanding of what makes a great deal
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the confidence to influence and gain trust
• The ability to work independently and manage your own pipeline
• Flexibility to travel regularly

What you'll get in return:

• Basic salary of £35,000
• Attractive bonus structure with OTE of £60,000
• 27 days holiday plus bank holidays + Annual Holiday Flex Scheme (you can buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Profit share bonus - based on company and individual performance
• Pension provided by the People's Pension
• Enhanced maternity/paternity
• Cycle to Work Scheme

This is a key role in a fast-moving, forward-thinking company that genuinely values relationships and results. If you love property, thrive on autonomy, and want to be part of a business that's making serious moves, we'd love to hear from you.
