Business Development Manager

The Company and Role Purpose

If you are a true B2B hunter who understands Business Development and wants to build something meaningful, then Harte Recruitment have a serious opportunity to look at.

This is not an account management role, this Business Development Manager position is a revenue-generating role focused on adding new developments and securing tech-enabled lease-up instructions.

With a model that brings together what is usually fragmented, as Business Development Manager you will be part of a company who encompass the following: marketing, leasing, tech, and on-site delivery into one joined-up solution.

If you have a background in BTR, lettings, PropTech or Developer sales, with a clear hunter mentality, and someone who creates opportunities, not waits for them, then we want to hear from you!
