Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial individual to lead and develop Savills' Short-Lets offering across our Lettings network. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to take real ownership of a developing area of the business. The successful candidate will have input to help shape our strategy, identify opportunities, challenge existing ways of working and build a market leading short-let proposition.

The role does not come with a blueprint. We expect it to evolve as the business grows, so we are looking for someone who is commercially minded, adaptable and comfortable turning ideas into action.

You will need to be a confident and credible communicator, able to pitch effectively to clients and colleagues alike. Just as importantly, you will bring the energy, hunger and entrepreneurial instinct to create opportunities rather than wait for them.

Team Overview

The role will sit within a wider team focused on business development and identifying growth opportunities across the Lettings business. This will provide a highly collaborative and commercially focused environment, with colleagues who are similarly tasked with developing new relationships, unlocking opportunities and generating new business.

We’re proud to have been named The Times Graduate Employer of Choice for Property for 19 years running and have also received recognition for our commitment to diversity and inclusion, including being a Top Employer for Women and earning the Investors in People Gold accreditation. In our lettings division, you’ll join close-knit, collaborative teams covering everything from residential lettings to client accounts and property management. The culture here is supportive and hands-on, with excellent training and mentoring to help you build your skills and take on responsibility quickly. It’s a place where teamwork really shines and your career can thrive.
