Associate Director - Lease Advisory in City of London

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Landlord & Tenant specialist to join the national Lease Advisory team of a leading multidisciplinary property consultancy, at a pivotal moment in the team's growth. Our client has built a formidable reputation for delivering expert lease advisory services to a prestigious client base spanning institutions, developers, retailers and the public sector. With a strong network of hub offices across the UK and a growing national Lease Advisory offering, this is a rare chance to join a close-knit, high-performing team and help shape its future direction.

This is a career-defining role offering genuine influence, high-profile instructions, and a clear path to further seniority within a business investing heavily in this area for the long term.

The Role

As Associate Director within the Lease Advisory team, you will play a central role in delivering landlord & tenant advice across a national portfolio, while helping to drive the team's growth and reputation. Key responsibilities include:

• Leading on rent review and lease renewal instructions across a national client base
• Supporting wider lease and asset management opportunities
• Inspecting and measuring assets, and gathering robust comparable evidence
• Preparing client schedules, lease event reports and client-facing advice
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, opposing advisors and colleagues
• Playing an active part in the growth and strategic direction of the Lease Advisory team
• Identifying and securing new instructions from existing and new clients
• Supporting senior Partners on larger instructions, key client relationships and business generation
• Collaborating with wider commercial teams to develop new fee opportunities and maintain a joined-up client offering
• Championing the Lease Advisory team's profile both internally and in the wider market

About You

We're looking for a technically strong, commercially minded Landlord & Tenant professional who is ready to take on real ownership and help build something. You will ideally have:

• Chartered MRICS status
• Extensive post-qualification experience in Landlord & Tenant work
• A recognised specialism in landlord & tenant matters
• Strong business development skills and existing industry contacts
• A proven track record of managing and growing client relationships
• Excellent communication, interpersonal and people management skills
• A proactive, self-driven approach to identifying new opportunities

Why Join?

This is far more than a lease advisory role — it's the chance to help build and shape a growing national team from a position of real influence. You'll benefit from:

• A high-profile role with genuine autonomy and a seat at the table in shaping team strategy
• Exposure to an impressive and varied national client base and high-value instructions
• Direct access to senior stakeholders, key clients and decision-makers
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture within an established and supportive team
• Strong flexibility on location, working across the firm's national hub office network
• Clear progression opportunities within a business actively investing in this team's expansion
• A competitive salary of £70,000–£80,000, plus company car, and a comprehensive benefits package
