Full job description

Berrys

At Berrys, we are all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services - planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation and business consultancy - to help our clients make the most of their assets.

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary development team made up of engineers, surveyors, archaeologists, planners and architects. You will be part of a business which is big enough for a varied range of work and opportunities. However, it is small enough to provide autonomy and a chance to really get to know everyone – expanding your skills and building new connections.

Operational Requirements - Commercial Agent/Strategic Land Lead:

Act as the internal figurehead for our Strategic Land offer within the Towcester office and be the go‑to source for technical and market expertise.
Cover the Northamptonshire market and surrounding counties
Lead the identification, appraisal, and securing of strategic land opportunities through promotion agreements, option agreements, JV structures, and freehold acquisition/disposal.
Undertake development appraisals, land valuation, and high‑level viability assessments to inform strategic decision‑making.
Work collaboratively with planners, architects, valuers and development specialists to deliver cohesive advice and coordinated strategies for clients.
Provide expert guidance to landowners, from initial site appraisal through to the promotion, planning and disposal processes.
Maintain a strong understanding of the evolving planning landscape, local plan reviews, call‑for‑sites and regional housing need.
Support and mentor junior team members, helping them develop technical understanding of strategic land, planning policy and the development lifecycle.
Demonstrate commercial awareness, understanding drivers of profitability, efficiency and team productivity.

Leverage existing relationships to enhance the pipeline of strategic land opportunities and cross‑sell other Berrys services where appropriate.
Review our current strategic land portfolio, identify strengths and weaknesses, and implement a diversification and growth plan.
Monitor market trends, land values, planning policy and developer appetite, shaping Berrys’ approach accordingly.
Represent the company at industry events, maintaining a strong and positive presence within the regional land and development market.
This is a senior hire and the person must be able to develop and sustain their own book of clients and portfolio of instructions.

Person Specification - Commercial Agent/Strategic Land Lead:

Excellent stakeholder management and negotiation skills.
A passion for land, planning and development with a friendly, professional manner and strong client focus.
Strong track record of advising landowners and managing strategic land instructions.
Ability to set technical and commercial strategy for the strategic land team.

Resilient under pressure, adaptable to change and able to prioritise competing demands.
Commitment to innovation and continual improvement of service delivery.
RICS‑accredited qualification preferred (Rural, Planning & Development or Commercial routes considered).

Full, clean UK driving licence essential due to site visits and landowner meetings.

Hours: 37.5 hours per week, to be worked flexibly Monday-Friday in line with our Agile Working Philosophy.
