Are you an experienced New Build Solicitor or Senior Paralegal with strong developer relationships, excellent technical knowledge and a passion for delivering outstanding client service?

Do you enjoy building relationships, winning new business and developing a successful team?

At MOV8 Real Estate, we're looking for a commercially driven Head of New Build to lead and grow our New Build conveyancing offering.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of up to £80,000, depending on experience.

• Opportunities for career progression within a growing legal business.

• A supportive and collaborative Legal Team.

• Modern technology and systems designed to make your working day more efficient.

• The opportunity to develop your leadership and mentoring skills.

• A business that places genuine importance on client care, innovation and continuous improvement.

• The opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping how we deliver legal services.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing a caseload.

We're looking for an individual who can take ownership of our New Build proposition, strengthen existing relationships, develop new opportunities and help shape the future of this important area of our business.

About MOV8

MOV8 is one of Scotland's progressive and technology-driven property businesses, combining estate agency, conveyancing and private client services.

Having achieved approximately 25% year-on-year growth over the past two years, we're continuing to invest in our people, systems and services to support our future ambitions.

Our New Build offering is an important part of that growth strategy, and we're looking for the right individual to help take it to the next level.

The Opportunity

As Head of New Build, you'll be responsible for developing our New Build operation, ensuring exceptional service delivery and driving sustainable business growth.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and developing MOV8's New Build conveyancing offering.

• Overseeing New Build purchase transactions, ensuring high standards of accuracy, efficiency and client care.

• Acting as a key relationship manager for housebuilders, developers, sales teams and professional introducers.

• Conducting regular site visits and meetings to strengthen existing relationships and identify new business opportunities.

• Proactively identifying, pursuing and converting opportunities to grow our New Build client base.

• Supporting, mentoring and developing solicitors, paralegals and other colleagues involved in New Build transactions.

• Working closely with our wider legal, estate agency and business development teams.

• Developing efficient processes and service standards that support growth without compromising quality.

• Monitoring performance, client feedback and introducer satisfaction to drive continuous improvement.

Who We're Looking For

We're open to applications from both qualified solicitors and experienced senior paralegals with a strong background in Scottish New Build conveyancing.

For us, the most important qualities are your experience, commercial awareness, leadership potential and ability to build lasting relationships.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Extensive experience handling Scottish New Build conveyancing transactions.

• A thorough understanding of developer requirements, missives, reservation processes, settlement deadlines and lender expectations.

• Experience managing or supervising a New Build caseload or team.

• Excellent communication and client relationship-management skills.

• Confidence dealing directly with housebuilders, site sales teams and introducers.

• A proactive approach to business development, including attending site visits and building new relationships.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to maintain service standards in a busy environment.

• An interest in improving systems, processes and the overall client experience.

Existing relationships with housebuilders, developers or New Build introducers would be a significant advantage.

We'd be particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a track record of developing relationships that have resulted in new business.

Why MOV8?

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a business area with significant potential for further development.

You'll benefit from:

• A leadership role with the opportunity to shape our New Build strategy.

• The freedom to develop relationships and identify new commercial opportunities.

• Support from an established Scottish property and legal business.

• The opportunity to develop and mentor a growing team.

• A progressive environment that values initiative, innovation and exceptional client service.

• Competitive remuneration, with scope to discuss performance-related incentives linked to the success of the New Build offering.

We recognise that the right person for this position may not necessarily be a qualified solicitor.

If you're an exceptional Senior New Build Paralegal with strong technical knowledge, leadership ability and commercial relationships, we'd be equally keen to hear from you.

Any work requiring solicitor authorisation or supervision will remain subject to the appropriate professional arrangements.

Interested in Leading Our New Build Growth?

Whether you're an experienced solicitor looking for greater commercial responsibility or a senior paralegal ready to take the next step in your career, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Help us build stronger relationships, deliver exceptional service and take MOV8's New Build offering to the next level.
