Job Description


We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to join our PRS team (known externally as Connells Living). There is some flexibility on location as the role could potentially be based in Leighton Buzzard or Milton Keynes, with some home-working potential. The successful candidate will be the first member of the BD team, and there is therefore a huge amount of scope to help shape the new department as it grows.

Key responsibilities of the Business Development Executive:

The over-arching responsibility is to make contact with potential PRS clients to set up opportunities to pitch Connells Living. The candidate will be expected to sell the Connells Living advantage at every opportunity. Specific responsibilities will include:

  • Maintaining database / CRM of target PRS clients, regularly contacting to set up opportunities to pitch.
  • Monitoring trade press, web portals, subscription services et al, to source pipeline of target PRS clients.
  • Attending internal BD meetings (eg lender review, affordable housing review, regional land calls etc) to source pipeline of target PRS clients.
  • Attending industry body events (eg UKAA, BPF, Movers & Shakers) to source new target clients.

Experience & skills required to be successful as a Business Development Executive

  • A sound knowledge of the residential property market, in particular PRS (encompassing BTR, SFR, MFR) is necessary.
  • Previous BD or target driven sales experience desirable.
  • The role would suit a self-starting individual who is comfortable working autonomously for reasonable periods as the department scales up – with the potential to move in to a more senior role as headcount grows.

Connells Living operates across the entire Connells Group business and offers an integrated and highly configurable PRS & BTR proposition for investment clients. Our structure provides clients a single point of contact who provide access to our entire suite of complementary property services, operating across the UK. Our capabilities service the entire asset lifecycle and as the largest property services group in the country, we add value every step of the way. Our ownership by the Skipton Building Society and our FCA regulated status offers clients the security and comfort of unparalleled financial strength and robust corporate governance.
