The Collaborative London | Central London | Full-time
£45,000–£55,000 basic + uncapped commission OTE: £90,000–£110,000+
The Collaborative London is looking for an experienced and ambitious Business Development Manager to help grow our prime residential construction, refurbishment and design & build business across Central London.
We are looking for someone who is genuinely good at building relationships, identifying opportunities and turning those relationships into real business.
THE ROLE
Your primary focus will be generating high-quality residential opportunities across Prime and Central London.
You’ll build and develop relationships with HNW homeowners, property developers, architects, interior designers, buying agents, estate agents, family offices, property advisers and other key introducers.
Our aim is to build relationships early and become involved in projects before they reach the wider market or competitive tender stage.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Identifying and approaching the right people and organisations
- Building new introducer and client relationships
- Generating qualified meetings and project opportunities
- Developing and managing a strong opportunity pipeline
- Maintaining relationships throughout the business development process
- Working closely with our CEO and senior team as opportunities progress
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There will also be an opportunity to develop relationships with private investors and family offices in connection with our property investment activities, although this will be a secondary part of the role.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Most importantly, you should be able to demonstrate a genuine track record of personally originating new business.
Your background might be in prime residential property, high-end construction, design & build, luxury interiors, property development, estate or buying agency, or another relevant relationship-led sector.
An existing network within the Prime London property market would be valuable, but equally important are your commercial instinct, persistence, ability to build relationships from scratch and follow-through.
You should be confident dealing with senior decision-makers and HNW clients, highly organised, comfortable working towards clear targets and motivated by results.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
HOW SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED
This is a results-driven role.
Success will be measured through the quality and value of opportunities generated, new introducer relationships developed, projects secured, repeat business created and, ultimately, profitable new business originated for The Collaborative London.
There is an opportunity to earn materially more for exceptional performance.
We want the person who helps us grow the business to share meaningfully in the value they create.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send your CV to latika@thecollaborativelondon.co.uk and include brief answers to these two questions:
- What is the best piece of new business you have personally brought into a company? What was the opportunity, how did you find it and what was it worth?
- If you joined The Collaborative tomorrow, where would you look first for our next £1m+ prime residential project?
We are interested in how you think — not a long answer.
