What we’re looking for:

Behaviorally it’s important that you enjoy a varied task load, where you will pivot and change priority day to day, learning about and driving a variety of customer related activity. To be considered at the higher end of the bracket we’d need you to have previous commercial property experience in a Surveyor capacity.
What you’ll be doing:
- Working across the Manchester Regional portfolio including South Manchester, Bolton, Warrington and Cheshire.
- Maintaining relationships with customers being the main point of contact
- Supporting the Head of Commercial in retention of existing customers across all our products.
- Proactively managing the negotiations from initial enquiry through to completion.
- Full lifecycle account management including expansion, contraction, rent reviews, lease renewal and debt management.
- Developing a detailed knowledge of customer businesses and the sectors within which they operate; by nurturing relationships with senior stakeholders within that organisation.
- Working as part of a multidisciplinary team to put the customer at the heart of what we do.
- Connecting our customers to resources that support their success, through knowledge and understanding of our suite of products, services, business support and community activity.
- Attending and hosting customers and prospective customers at community, business support and networking events.
- Ensuring the retention strategy and new lettings link to the asset management plan for each building.
- Managing your own workload to achieve agreed targets, timescales and drive deals through to completion
- Using our internal systems to monitor performance and report to the wider business.
- Maintaining an awareness of the market and competition, utilising networks and relationships.
