Key responsibilities include:

Leading and growing a high-performing Project Management team
Strengthening client relationships and generating new business opportunities
Acting as a senior interface on major programmes across the industrial, manufacturing, and defence sectors
Supporting the growth of key accounts across the Midlands region
Playing an active role in business planning, team development, and strategic growth

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is:

Currently operating at Associate or Director level within a reputable UK Property & Construction consultancy
Well-connected across the Midlands, with a strong local network and reputation
Commercially astute, client-focused, and confident in leading large, complex commissions
Able to operate at board level and contribute to regional and national growth
A natural mentor and leader, able to inspire and develop others
Chartered status (RICS, MAPM or similar) is desirable but not essential.

Why Apply?

This is an exciting time to join. The organisation is growing, the pipeline is strong, and the Birmingham office is seen as a key strategic location for national and regional growth. You'll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking team with opportunities to advance your career, increase your influence, and enhance your earnings through a highly competitive package and performance-based incentives.
