This is a full-time London based/hybrid position typically working Monday to Friday 9am-5.30pm. The salary is £40,000 per annum plus a performance related bonus.

· Appraise new schemes, including income and expenditure forecasting

· Build relationships with developers, investors, and asset managers

· Support tenders, pitches, and client presentations

· Use data, AI tools, and BI insights to strengthen proposals and decision-making

· Work closely with internal teams to deliver compelling, market-leading bids

What we’re looking for:

· Experience in PBSA, BTR, co-living, or living real estate

· Strong communication and relationship-building skills

· Commercial awareness and proactive mindset

· Confidence working with data and financial appraisals

· Comfortable using AI tools and BI platforms (e.g. Power BI, Tableau)

Why join us:

· Exposure to live deals and high-profile clients

· Work across both PBSA and a growing co-living platform

· Clear progression opportunities as we scale
