This is the perfect opportunity for an experienced block manager who enjoys client engagement but is looking for a complete change and would like to retain the transferable skills already gained but in a new sector. If you’re an experienced block manager and you feel this way, then this position should provide you with the perfect opportunity to blend your property management experience and join our client, a well-established drainage and facilities provider.

 

Our client has grown to become a well-established drainage and facilities services company providing their wide range of services largely to the block management sector. Their clients are mainly across London and the Home Counties, and they are well-known for providing a high quality professional and personal service built along traditional ethics.

 

Due to further expansion, they are looking for a Business Development Manager who will be responsible for identifying opportunities to help further expand the business. This focus of this growth will be to increase services provided to their existing managing agent clients and also develop new clients in the residential property management sector so the successful candidate is therefore likely to have experience in the residential block management or property management sector, along with a strong understanding of the type of services our client provides.

 

This position could be of particular interest to an experienced block manager/property manager who feels ready to move out of block management but wishes to use their knowledge and experience already acquired within the property industry. Working partly from home and partly office based (Surrey/Hampshire borders), the successful candidate will be a confident team player who can manage daily business issues and recognise new business opportunities.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Identify suitable opportunities to grow and improve the business 
  • Drive new business and effectively manage existing clients
  • Make regular contact with existing identified clients
  • Promote planned maintenance contracts across the client base
  • Manage and develop existing contact databases
  • Collate and analyse monthly reports detailing any potential risks to existing contracts and forecasting new opportunities
  • Oversee and manage regular social media presence

 

Position Requirements:

  • Previous experience in the block management sector
  • Good understanding of drainage and facilities services
  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to multi-task and prioritise projects
  • Ability to identify and resolve problems at an early stage
  • IT literate including working with MS Office applications
  • Ability to engage with and manage social and business media platforms
  • Full current driving licence

  • Salary dependent on experience.
  • Generous commission structure
