Business Development Director – Property Marketing & Creative (creative agency)

London / Hybrid | £50,000–£60,000 + Commission | £70,000–£80,000 OTE

Do you understand the property market, love building relationships and have a natural ability to turn conversations into new business?

We're looking for a commercially minded, personable and ambitious Business Development Director to join an established, creatively driven agency specialising in property marketing and design.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who understands the property sector, appreciates the importance of great branding and marketing, and can confidently build relationships with developers, property consultancies, agents and commercial property professionals.

You might currently be an Account Director, Senior Account Manager, Client Services Director or Business Development Manager within a property marketing, branding, creative or design agency.

What's important is that you understand the industry, can hold credible conversations with clients and have the commercial instinct to recognise opportunities.

We're not looking for a hard-nosed salesperson. We're looking for someone who can open doors, build trust and become the face of the business.

Responsibilities of this Business Development Director include:

• Identifying and developing new business opportunities across the commercial property and real estate sectors.
• Building relationships with property developers, investment companies, commercial agents and marketing decision-makers.
• Representing the agency at industry events, networking opportunities and client meetings.
• Understanding prospective clients' property marketing requirements and identifying opportunities for creative solutions.
• Introducing the agency's expertise across branding, design, brochures, websites, digital marketing and property marketing collateral.
• Working closely with creative and production teams to develop proposals and pitches.
• Building a strong pipeline of prospective clients and converting opportunities into long-term commercial relationships.
• Developing relationships with key stakeholders across the property industry.
• Playing an integral role in driving the agency's growth and commercial success.

Experience we're looking for:

• A strong background in account management, client services or business development within a property marketing, branding, design or creative agency.
• A good understanding of the commercial property market and how creative marketing supports leasing, investment and development.
• Experience building relationships with property professionals, developers, agents or senior marketing stakeholders.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to identify new business opportunities.
• Excellent communication, presentation and relationship-building skills.
• A personable, confident and engaging approach.
• The ability to understand client requirements and communicate creative solutions effectively.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and genuine enthusiasm for winning new business.

Experience within a specialist property marketing agency would be particularly attractive, although we're also interested in commercially minded agency account handlers with strong property-sector exposure.

What's on offer?

• £50,000–£60,000 basic salary
• Commission with £70,000–£80,000 OTE
• The opportunity to play a pivotal role in growing an established creative agency.
• A highly visible, relationship-driven position with genuine commercial responsibility.
• The chance to work alongside experienced creative and property marketing specialists.
• An ambitious, collaborative environment where your contribution will make a real difference.
