Two Exciting Business Development Opportunities in London

George Burkitt • October 21, 2026

James & Partners is pleased to introduce two new Business Development opportunities in London, offering competitive salaries, attractive commission structures and excellent career progression.

Following two recent client meetings, we're excited to be supporting two established property businesses in their search for ambitious, commercially minded professionals to join their growing teams.


Whether you're an experienced Business Development Consultant looking for greater responsibility or an aspiring sales professional ready to take the next step, these opportunities offer exciting potential.


1. Business Development Consultant – Business Rates | City of London

Salary: Up to £45,000 basic + Bonus/Commission Package


We are working with an independent commercial property business that is expanding its Business Rates division and seeking an experienced Business Development Consultant to support its continued growth.


This opportunity is particularly well-suited to someone with previous Business Rates business development experience who is looking for greater responsibility and the chance to contribute to the development of a growing function.


Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and develop new business opportunities within the commercial property sector.
  • Engage with commercial occupiers to identify potential Business Rates opportunities.
  • Generate qualified appointments for specialist surveyors.
  • Work alongside an established Business Development team, supported by dedicated research resources.
  • Contribute to the continued growth and development of the Business Rates division.
  • For an experienced professional seeking greater autonomy and the opportunity to make a meaningful commercial impact, this role presents an exciting next step.


2. Business Development Executive | Richmond, South West London

Salary: £27,500+ Basic | £60,000 OTE | Uncapped Commission


Our second opportunity is with a well-established property business in Richmond, seeking a confident and commercially minded Business Development Executive to join its team.

With full training, structured professional development and clear opportunities for progression, this position is ideal for someone looking to build on their existing sales or customer-facing experience.


Key Responsibilities

  • Identify, generate and qualify new business opportunities.
  • Build and maintain relationships with prospective clients.
  • Engage with potential customers to understand their requirements.
  • Contribute to business growth through proactive sales and relationship development.


Why Consider This Opportunity?

The role offers an attractive combination of financial rewards and long-term career development.

With an uncapped commission structure and an OTE of £60,000, there is significant earning potential for driven individuals. Top performers within the business are earning upwards of £75,000.


Combined with comprehensive training and structured development, this is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual looking to establish a successful career in business development.


Two Opportunities, One Exciting Next Step.


While these opportunities cater to different levels of experience, both offer the chance to join established property businesses with strong growth ambitions.


Both positions are office-based, Monday to Friday, with no weekend working, providing a structured working environment and the opportunity to develop your career within the property sector.


At James & Partners, we understand that finding the right opportunity is about more than just salary. It's about identifying a position that aligns with your experience, ambitions and long-term career goals.


Interested in Finding Out More?

Whether you're an experienced Business Rates professional or looking to take your business development career to the next level, we'd love to hear from you.
