Are you looking for that new challenge or to step into a larger, more established team to launch forward your career? I am working closely with a national property consultancy in London, looking for someone to join at Associate Director level.

Due to an increased pipeline in work, this forward-thinking business have teams that work across the whole property spectrum, as well as a highly successful planning force, with a number of sub-teams, who work across specialisms. With honesty and integrity at their core - they enjoy working for a variety of clients from major PLC London developers to boutiques as well as most sectors from residential to leisure and commercial - across London and the South East. You will be given a busy pipeline of work to deal with straight away, thrown in the deep-end and given a real opportunity to thrive.

You will be involved in (among other responsibilities):

• Leading on projects, assisting in delegating and starting to take on leadership role

Please apply here or give me (Kate) a call to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.

If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
