Job description

Package: Up to 110,000 + Bonus/Bens

THE OPPORTUNITY

A Business Rates Director opportunity has arisen in Birmingham, paying up to 110,000 plus bonus. I'm running a confidential retained search on behalf of one of the most recognised names in real estate advisory, for a business rates team that sits inside a truly mega platform, with a client base and pipeline that few firms outside the very top tier can offer.

THE ROLE

You'll take a lead role advising on business rates across a broad range of commercial property types, working with occupiers, landlords and investors on rating liability, appeals, empty rates mitigation and strategic advice around the rating list. There's a strong existing client base to work from, alongside real scope to develop new instructions and grow the team's presence across the Midlands. You'll also play a part in mentoring and developing more junior surveyors coming through, so this isn't just a technical role, it comes with genuine people leadership attached.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

• MRICS qualified, with a strong track record in business rates advisory
• Solid technical grounding across appeals, valuation and rating list strategy
• Comfortable operating at Director level, both client-facing and internally
• Someone who wants to build something in Birmingham, not just maintain it
• Existing relationships in the market would be an advantage, but isn't essential. Significant work to go through

THE PACKAGE

Salary up to 110,000, plus bonus, alongside the wider benefits you'd expect from a firm of this scale.
