  • Remain informed on both market dynamics and underlying asset behaviour

Profile

  • Experience in sales, brokerage, or a client-facing commercial role
  • Evidence of revenue generation and client relationship management
  • Composed communication style and professional presence
  • Commercial awareness and interest in alternative or tangible assets
  • Self-directed, disciplined, and comfortable operating with autonomy

Package

  • £28,000 - £32,000 base
  • Uncapped commission
  • Expected OTE: £60,000 - £80,000+
  • The Shard, London
