We are currently recruiting an exciting opportunity to join a long standing client of ours - a very highly regarded property consultancy with an excellent reputation - on an FTC basis. Initially joining as maternity cover in Feb 2027, this role certainly has the scope to become permanent for the right candidate. This is a varied, dual-focused role combining traditional EA and team administration responsibilities with a strong Business Development focus. The role offers a great opportunity to gain exposure across both areas, with the potential for the position to become permanent for someone who would particularly like to develop and focus on the Business Development. The role is designed to support to a Partner and their wider team, whilst also playing an important role in helping to identify, coordinate and develop new business opportunities. Covering the EA duties whilst the EA is on leave, the idea is for the same candidate to then become a permanent member of the team and purely focus on the BD side once the EA returns.
The EA & Team Support element will include
- Providing day-to-day support to a Partner and the wider team.
- General team administration and coordination.
- Managing invoicing and billing processes.
- Supporting bids, tenders and submissions.
- Helping ensure the smooth running of the team and its day-to-day operations.
The Business Development element will include:
- Coordinating and tracking new business opportunities.
- Undertaking market research to identify potential clients and opportunities.
- Maintaining and updating the CRM system.
- Tracking leads and monitoring business development activity.
- Supporting client outreach and relationship-building initiatives.
- Assisting with marketing activity, presentations and wider BD projects.
- Helping to coordinate and drive business development initiatives across the team.
About you:
We are keen to speak with someone who has previous EA, team administration or business support experience, ideally within property or professional services. You will be highly organised, commercially curious and confident communicating with people at all levels. An interest in Business Development, marketing and the commercial side of a business is particularly important. You'll enjoy being proactive, researching opportunities, keeping information organised and helping to turn potential leads into meaningful business relationships.
- Salary: £35,000–£45,000 DOE.
- Contract: Maternity cover, starting early February 2027 and running for the remainder of the year.
- Potential: Opportunity for the role to become permanent, with a longer-term focus on Business Development.
- Location: Fantastic Central London offices.
- Working pattern: Office-based.
- Sector: Highly regarded property consultancy.
This really is a fantastic opportunity to join a brilliant team and well-respected business, combining EA and Business Development responsibilities with the potential to develop into a more commercially focused, permanent role.
