Relationship Specialist - James Collection Portfolio

Do you love building strong relationships and delivering a genuinely personal service? We’re looking for a Relationship Specialist to support our prestigious James Collection portfolio in Southwold, becoming a trusted partner to our holiday homeowners and helping their properties perform at their very best.

Your mission

As our Relationship Specialist, your mission is to build trusted, long-term relationships with a carefully curated portfolio of James Collection owners, delivering the highly personalised, relationship-led service they expect.

With a visible local presence in Southwold, you’ll combine exceptional service with commercial insight to strengthen owner loyalty, protect the reputation of the James Collection and support the continued growth of the portfolio.

What you'll be doing

  • Build strong, trusted relationships with James Collection owners, tailoring your communication and support to their individual needs.
  • Develop an in-depth understanding of each property and regularly visit homes to identify opportunities to enhance presentation, guest appeal and commercial performance.
  • Use market insight, pricing data and your local knowledge to make proactive recommendations that help owners get the best from their properties.
  • Protect and champion the prestige of the James Collection through every owner interaction.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and prioritise activity, manage follow-ups and support effective portfolio management.
  • Identify opportunities for referrals, testimonials and advocacy, helping strengthen the James Collection brand and local reputation.
  • Support portfolio growth by identifying prospective owners and working closely with Business Development to create a seamless, premium experience.
  • Act as the voice of our owners within the business, sharing feedback and insights that help improve our services.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re naturally relationship-focused and take pride in delivering an exceptional level of service. You’ll be comfortable getting to know owners and their properties in detail, spotting opportunities and turning insight into practical recommendations.

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.
