Associate Director / Surveyor - Business Rates

Business Rates Associate Director / Surveyor

Roles: 1x Business Rates Surveyor AND 1x Associate Director

Location: London, West End

Role Type: Permanent

I am working with a modern and cutting edge property company with a new approach to Business Rates. They are seizing on the brilliant branding they have created, to deliver a superb service to their diverse client-list.

Business Rates forms a key part of their business approach, and so they are looking at two growth hires. These are:

1x Associate Director, targeting an established Business Rates expert

1x Business Rates Surveyor – which could be an existing Surveyor, or an Administrator looking to step up.

Both hires will report directly to the Head of Business Rates - receiving excellent support, and mentorship from an industry expert.

The key duties will clearly vary for each role, but overall comprise:

• Manage the CCA process internally, submitting appeals, and helping to build cases via the CCA process and councils.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all appeal cases and client interactions.
• Schedule and coordinate meetings, inspections, and surveys.
• Assist in the preparation of client reports, presentations, and other materials.
• Handle correspondence and communication with clients, councils, and other stakeholders.
• Monitor deadlines and ensure timely completion of all administrative tasks.
• Build strong relationships with the Council’s and Valuation Office
• Provide client reports and forecasting as requested.
• Keep abreast of changing case law.
