Your mission
Why this role, why now
Around half of our clients and prospects submit to GRESB, and for many it is the benchmark their investors watch most closely. Submission is far more than a technical, time-consuming exercise: it is genuinely complex, demanding well-reasoned assumptions, a real understanding of the GRESB model, and a clear view of how each decision affects the final score.
That complexity is exactly where we can add value. We want to offer a structured GRESB service that goes beyond the platform: analysing the previous submission, building a concrete improvement plan, optimising the score, and following up year after year — prioritising quick wins and high-impact actions so customers see progress early and sustain it over time.
This role brings that service to market. It is a double-hat position, backed by our platform's GRESB reporting and submission capabilities: you will sell and shape these engagements, deliver measurable score improvement, and raise the GRESB fluency of the wider Professional Services team so that every project manager can confidently guide their customers through a submission cycle.
What You'll Do
Sell GRESB advisory — lead the commercial motion
- Own a quota for GRESB advisory and optimisation services, positioning them alongside the BuildingMinds platform as an integrated offering (backed by SaaS) rather than a standalone consultancy.
- Build the commercial narrative and pricing for GRESB engagements, including success-based and score-linked models where they fit the customer.
- Work hand in hand with Sales and Key Account Management to qualify opportunities, scope engagements, and convert GRESB need into signed advisory work across new and existing accounts.
- Use publicly available GRESB participation data and our own portfolio insight to identify and prioritise the accounts where advisory has the highest impact.
Deliver optimisation, score increase and submission
- Run a clear, repeatable engagement model: baseline assessment, gap analysis, an indicator-by-indicator optimisation plan, and hands-on support through data collection, validation, and submission.
- Give customers a credible, defensible view of their likely score and the specific actions that will move it, so management sees the number, not just the process.
- Translate GRESB requirements into concrete platform workflows, making the most of BuildingMinds reporting and submission features to reduce manual effort and error.
- Own the submission timeline against the annual GRESB cycle, keeping accounts on track and flagging risk early.
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

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.
Uplift the team — train and enable project managers
- Design and run internal enablement so Professional Services project managers can independently guide their customers through GRESB submissions.
- Build reusable playbooks, templates, checklists, and a scoring toolkit that standardise how we support GRESB across the portfolio.
- Act as the internal point of escalation and coach on GRESB questions, and feed practical requirements back to Product to keep our GRESB capabilities market-leading.
Your profile
Essential
- Hands-on GRESB experience across a full submission cycle, ideally gained at a consultancy or advisor such as CBRE, JLL, RLB, or GRESB itself, or in-house at an asset manager.
- A track record of improving GRESB scores and a strong command of the assessment structure, indicators, and scoring logic.
- A genuine double-hat profile: commercially confident and comfortable carrying a quota, while credible and rigorous in delivery.
- Strong stakeholder skills, able to work with sustainability, asset management, and C-level contacts on the customer side.
- Comfort with data and sustainability reporting workflows, and an appetite to work through a software platform rather than spreadsheets.
