Job description

Business Rates Director

Location: Birmingham/Hybrid

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.

If you're currently working at Associate Director or Director level within business rates and want a role where you can genuinely shape the direction of a team, this is worth a conversation.

THE ROLE

You're 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.
