The Role
JOHNS&CO is looking for an Business Development Team Leader to join our growing Business Development team.
Reporting to the Head of Business Development, you will play a key role in the day-to-day management, performance and development of the Business Development Consultants within your division.
This is a hands-on leadership position and you will act as second-in-command to the Head of Business Development. You will be responsible for ensuring your team is organised, accountable and consistently performing against the standards and expectations of the business.
You will need to understand what good Business Development looks like, from generating market appraisals and creating opportunities through to securing instructions and generating revenue, while being able to identify where individuals need additional support, coaching or accountability.
This role is suited to someone who enjoys developing people, is confident having difficult conversations and takes ownership of performance rather than simply reporting problems upwards.
Your Responsibilities as a Business Development Team Leader
- Manage and provide day-to-day leadership, direction and support to Business Development Consultants within your allocated East or West London division.
- Work closely with the Head of Business Development to implement departmental strategy, standards and expectations, taking ownership of the overall performance and development of your division.
- Create a high-performance, accountable and collaborative team culture, leading by example through your attitude, organisation, professionalism and work ethic.
- Monitor individual and team KPIs, CRM and pipeline activity, identifying trends, opportunities and underperformance, and taking appropriate action to improve performance, conversion, instructions and revenue.
- Conduct regular one-to-ones, performance and pipeline reviews, agreeing clear actions and holding consultants accountable for delivering against targets and expectations.
- Provide hands-on coaching, feedback and practical support, identifying development and training requirements and working with the Head of Business Development to deliver relevant training.
- Support the recruitment, onboarding and probation of new starters, ensuring they understand the expectations, standards and working practices of the Business Development team.
- Support the rollout of new processes, scripts, systems and working practices, ensuring they translate into measurable improvements in performance.
- Build strong relationships with Sales, Lettings and Branch Managers, ensuring Business Development activity aligns with office priorities and maintaining strong communication across the wider business.
- Support the Head of Business Development with the wider management and development of the Business Development function.
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.
