THE OPPORTUNITY

A Business Rates Director opportunity has arisen in Birmingham, paying up to £110,000 plus bonus. I'm running a confidential retained search on behalf of one of the most recognised names in real estate advisory, for a business rates team that sits inside a truly mega platform, with a client base and pipeline that few firms outside the very top tier can offer.

If you're currently working at Associate Director or Director level within business rates and want a role where you can genuinely shape the direction of a team, this is worth a conversation.

THE ROLE

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

You'll take a lead role advising on business rates across a broad range of commercial property types, working with occupiers, landlords and investors on rating liability, appeals, empty rates mitigation and strategic advice around the rating list. There's a strong existing client base to work from, alongside real scope to develop new instructions and grow the team's presence across the Midlands. You'll also play a part in mentoring and developing more junior surveyors coming through, so this isn't just a technical role, it comes with genuine people leadership attached.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

  • MRICS qualified
  • Strong track record in business rates advisory
  • Solid technical grounding across appeals, valuation and rating list strategy
  • Comfortable operating at Director level, both client-facing and internally
  • Someone who wants to build something in Birmingham, not just maintain it
