Head of Business Rates - MRICS in Greater London

Job description

The Company

A fast-growing commercial property consultancy is seeking a Head of Business Rates (MRICS) to build and lead a new occupier-focused service line.

This firm has developed a strong reputation as a disruptor in the commercial property space, working exclusively for occupiers and challenging a market that has historically favoured landlords. By cutting through jargon and streamlining the office acquisition and relocation process, they’ve become a trusted partner to some of the most ambitious businesses in London.

Having grown rapidly since launching in 2015, the business remains positive, collaborative, and people-first — driven by a shared mission to deliver honest, high-quality advice to clients while constantly evolving and improving as a team.

The Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to build a Business Rates function from scratch within a forward-thinking and entrepreneurial consultancy. The incoming Head of Business Rates will have full ownership of the service line — from setting strategy and leading delivery to building a team and developing long-term client relationships.

With full support from the board and close collaboration with agency, workplace, and project delivery teams, this is a role for someone who wants to shape something meaningful and deliver measurable value to occupier clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and lead a Business Rates offering focused solely on the needs of occupiers, particularly within commercial office space
• Provide clear, strategic advice on rating assessments, mitigation strategies, appeals, and relief opportunities
• Collaborate with internal teams to deliver integrated advice across office search, workplace consultancy, and project delivery
• Win new business and drive revenue growth through both new and existing client relationships
• Build, manage, and mentor a high-performing team as the service line scales
• Ensure all work complies with RICS guidance and upholds the consultancy’s high standards
• Monitor and interpret changes in policy, legislation, and market conditions to keep clients ahead of the curve

Candidate Profile

• MRICS-qualified Business Rates professional with 10+ years of experience
• Strong background advising occupiers on business rates strategy and appeal management
• Deep understanding of the commercial office market and how Business Rates impacts operational decision-making
• Proven business developer with a strong personal network and a track record of winning work
• Clear communicator with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
• Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and excited by the opportunity to build a new offering within a dynamic business

What’s on Offer

• Leadership role in a fast-growing and progressive consultancy
• Competitive salary plus strong commission, bonus, and equity participation
• Hybrid working model with a central London office
• Vibrant, supportive culture focused on collaboration, honesty, and ambition
• Real autonomy and backing to build and shape a service line
