Making Moves is a London-based real estate consultancy that’s reshaping how people think about property. With a bold, fresh approach, we advise forward-thinking businesses and individuals on every aspect of their real estate journey – from commercial office strategies to residential property solutions.

Whether it’s finding the perfect office space, managing a lease renewal, exiting a property, assisting with project management and fit out, or navigating the residential market, our team handles the process end to end. We’re proud to offer flexible, global office solutions alongside a growing residential arm, giving clients access to expert support, wherever they are and whatever they need.

• Act as a key member of the senior leadership team, championing cross‑department collaboration to win as a team and achieve company‑wide goals.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead and inspire a high‑performing, inclusive team, levelling up the growth of future leaders.
• Create a culture of accountability, collaboration, and client‑first thinking.
• Ensure clear progression pathways and uphold best‑in‑class delivery standards.

Client Strategy & Business Development

• Own senior‑level client relationships, ensuring strategic alignment with long‑term business objectives.
• Lead on major business development initiatives, turning market insights (e.g. Business Rates revaluation) into revenue opportunities.
• Represent Making Moves at the highest level in client pitches, industry forums, and external events.

Innovation & Technology

• Continually refine and challenge CRM workflows and processes to ensure maximum efficiency at scale.
• Foster the adoption of new technologies that enable growth, enhance client delivery, and future‑proof the business.

You’ll thrive at Making Moves if …

We know great candidates come from all walks of life, and you don’t have to tick every box. If you bring energy, curiosity, and an enthusiasm to Make It Happen, we’re excited to hear from you.

Your experience includes:

• Leadership experience in commercial property.
• Extensive knowledge in office agency, deal‑making, and advisory.
• Ability to set and deliver long‑term strategy.
• Recognition as a trusted advisor or contributor in the industry.
• Ability to set company‑wide standards for client engagement and retention.
• Advanced knowledge of CRM systems, automation, and innovation.
• Visible commitment to DE&I and sustainability.
