You'll lead and grow the lettings department, winning prime instructions, increasing revenue, and building a high-performing team. Initially hands-on with viewings, valuations, and business development, you'll gain autonomy to hire a Lettings Negotiator once 10-15 instructions are secured. You'll be instrumental in shaping the department alongside the founders, reflecting the company's values of integrity, energy, and intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of and expand the lettings department across Prime Central London.
  • Conduct valuations, win instructions, and bring on stock in PCL.
  • Drive business development via canvassing, inbound inquiries, and marketing campaigns.
  • Handle client relations, viewings, and negotiations in the early stages.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team, with the authority to make your own hires.
  • Implement and execute strategy in close collaboration with the business owners.
  • Contribute to the overall business growth and management portfolio development.

Key Requirements

  • Proven experience in a senior lettings role within Prime Central London.
  • Strong track record of securing instructions and growing a pipeline in PCL.
  • Deep understanding of the PCL lettings market and client expectations.
  • Hands-on attitude and entrepreneurial approach to scaling a department.
  • Experience managing or mentoring team members (or readiness to step into leadership).
  • Strong business development skills, client service, and negotiation abilities.
  • High levels of professionalism, integrity, and ambition.

What's on Offer

  • Salary Budgets: £50,000 - £75,000 basic (DOE) / £150,000+ OTE
  • Opportunity to take on a leadership role and build a team from the ground up.
  • Work alongside visionary leaders with exceptional backgrounds.
  • Flexibility to implement your own ideas and shape the department's future.
  • Hybrid working (office-based initially, with 1-2 WFH days after probation).
  • Fast-track career development in a high-growth, values-driven business.

Working Hours

  • Monday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm (flexible)
  • Saturdays: By appointment only


This is a rare opportunity to join a high-calibre team with a truly entrepreneurial spirit. You will work directly alongside two highly accomplished co-founders-one with a background in international finance and luxury property, and the other a former MD at some of the UK's most prestigious estate agencies. Together, they are building a client-centric, multi-family office approach to real estate across London's most elite postcodes.
