• Identifying and engaging occupiers through multiple routes, including:
  • Traditional occupier advisory agents and the Colliers global network

  • Flexible office brokers, platforms (e.g. Valve), and operator‑led channels
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with occupier advisors and brokers across both conventional and flexible markets to drive demand.
• Owning and managing marketing collateral and campaigns across multiple channels.
• Developing innovative marketing initiatives, including events, digital campaigns, and social media activity.
• Supporting new business development with landlords and flexible office operators.
• Monitoring market trends, competitor activity, and evolving occupier requirements to inform strategy and advice.

Qualifications

• Proven experience leasing flexible or managed workspace, either in a disposal / agency role or in a sales role within a flexible office operator.
• Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills.
• Ability to advise and transact with clients at varying seniority levels.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with an appetite to help grow a developing business line.
