Job description

Are you passionate about property, commercially driven and motivated by helping others succeed?

We're looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Business Development Manager to join our growing property franchise network.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves property, enjoys developing people and has the drive to make a genuine difference to the success of others.

Working closely with our Head of Franchise Development & Performance, you'll play a key role in supporting, coaching and developing our franchisees, helping them build their property knowledge, identify opportunities and grow successful, profitable property businesses.

This isn't a traditional business development role focused solely on generating new sales. It's about building relationships, unlocking potential and helping our franchisees turn their ambitions into measurable results.

We're looking for someone who brings energy, ideas, commercial awareness and genuine enthusiasm for the property industry.

What you'll be doing

Franchisee coaching and development

• Build strong, productive relationships with franchisees, acting as a trusted business development partner.
• Provide regular coaching, mentoring and practical support to help franchisees develop their property knowledge, confidence and commercial capabilities.
• Help franchisees identify property opportunities, overcome challenges and develop strategies to grow their businesses.
• Deliver structured business development sessions, performance reviews and ongoing guidance.
• Support franchisees at different stages of their journey, from those starting out to more established operators.

Business growth and performance

• Work with franchisees to develop clear business plans, objectives and growth strategies.
• Identify opportunities to increase franchisee activity, revenue and profitability.
• Monitor performance against agreed targets and provide proactive support where improvements are needed.
• Encourage accountability, consistency and a results-driven approach across the network.
• Share best practices, successful strategies and commercial opportunities between franchisees.

Property knowledge and training

• Support franchisees in developing their understanding of property investment, property sourcing and wider property opportunities.
• Deliver or facilitate practical training sessions, workshops and development activities.
• Stay informed about property market trends, investment strategies and industry developments.
• Help franchisees translate property knowledge into practical business opportunities.
• Identify gaps in franchisee knowledge and recommend appropriate training and development.
• Work closely with the Head of Franchise Development & Performance to deliver the wider franchise development strategy.
• Contribute ideas to improve the franchisee journey, engagement and overall support experience.
• Support the successful onboarding and development of new franchisees.
• Maintain accurate records of franchisee activity, progress and performance.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure franchisees receive effective and consistent support.

Who we're looking for

Above all, we're looking for someone with a genuine passion for property, a positive attitude and the motivation to help others achieve success.

You’ll be someone who:

• Lives and breathes property – has a genuine interest in property investment, sourcing and the opportunities available within the industry.
• Is a natural coach and motivator – enjoys sharing knowledge, building confidence and encouraging people to achieve their goals.
• Has a commercial mindset – understands business growth and can identify practical ways to improve performance and generate results.
• Is proactive and driven – takes initiative, follows through on commitments and is motivated by achieving measurable outcomes.
• Builds great relationships – can connect with people from different backgrounds, establish trust and communicate effectively.
• Enjoys problem-solving – can understand the challenges franchisees face and help develop practical solutions.
• Brings energy and enthusiasm – has a positive, engaging approach and genuinely enjoys helping people develop.
• Is confident challenging performance – can have constructive conversations, set expectations and hold franchisees accountable while maintaining positive relationships.

Experience we're interested in

We recognise that the right candidate could come from several different backgrounds.

Experience in the following areas would be particularly valuable:

• Property investment, property sourcing, estate agency or lettings.
• Property education, training, mentoring or coaching.
• Business development, account management or franchise support.
• Supporting business owners, entrepreneurs or individuals in developing their businesses.
• Delivering commercial training, workshops or business development programmes.
• Managing client relationships and working towards commercial performance targets.

Previous property experience would be a significant advantage, particularly when combined with coaching, training or business development experience.

However, we're equally interested in finding someone with the right personality, commercial instincts and enthusiasm to make a real impact.

For us, attitude, ambition and a genuine passion for helping others succeed are just as important as experience.
