We are partnering with an award-winning London-based consultancy that’s transforming how businesses and landlords navigate the commercial office market.

• Build and lead a high-performing team of project managers.
• Cultivate and manage relationships with landlords, developers, asset managers, consultants, and contractors.
• Champion the brand at industry events, pitch major projects, and win new business.

Candidate Profile:

• 10+ years of project management experience, ideally spanning both occupier and landlord-side projects.
• Strong network within the landlord, asset management, and developer communities.
• Proven ability to scale service lines or grow teams in a commercial setting.
• Excellent client management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• A proactive, strategic mindset with outstanding leadership and mentoring abilities.
• Strong commercial acumen — comfortable managing financials, pipeline, and delivery performance.

What’s on Offer?

• Up to £150,000 + discretionary bonus scheme + tailored commission scheme.
• 30 days annual leave + birthday off + private health insurance.
• Wellbeing perks: monthly wellbeing budget, yoga club, run club, mental health support.

• Tailored onboarding, training, and development program, plus annual team trips abroad (recently Porto!).
