Commercial Manager

Commercial Business Manager

Property investment

South Yorkshire

£60k - realistic OTE of £100k as a minimum

My clients are a property investment group run by two founders. The businesses are profitable, well run and growing, they have a good team who know what they’re doing.

What they don’t have is someone to sit between the founders and the day-to-day.

You will work alongside the founders most days, there's no corporate hierarchy to navigate and you’ll be trusted to make decisions.

You’ll also be expected to make them.

What you’ll be doing

The Marketing Manager brings in leads; a significant part of your role will be to convert them.

That means running the pipeline, forecasting it, and making sure opportunities don’t go cold. You’ll lead negotiations, look after key clients and investors, and build relationships that lead to repeat business and referrals.

You will also keep acquisitions and finance moving.

You will work closely with solicitors, lenders and other parties so that completion dates are agreed and hit, every time.

Internally, you’ll put in the structure the business needs as it grows taking clear ownership of actions, sensible reporting, and processes for the things that must be correct first time.

You will work with the Group FD to get management information ready for the monthly board meetings and be the first port of call when something needs escalating. Most of it should be dealt with before it reaches the founders and where it does need a decision, they will

want you to bring your recommendations.

What they're looking for

Solid commercial and relationship management experience, and a good head for numbers

Strong negotiator, comfortable influencing people at all levels, including investors

Experience setting up systems, processes and reporting

Able to run several things at once without dropping the ball

Beyond that, it’s all about character, you need to be driven and entrepreneurial but disciplined and highly organised.

This role will suit someone who’d rather build than perform administrative tasks in a BAU environment, and who is genuinely ambitious, meaning they will get bored if the role stays the same size.

They founders expect it to grow and want to hire someone who’ll push for that.

When submitting your CV please include a few lines on why this role appeals to you and why you would be successful in situ.
