Rural Client Lead/Partner – Private Estates
📍 Based in Cambridge | Hybrid + Flexible Working
🕰️ Permanent
We’re looking for a senior rural professional who’s ready to do more than manage estates. This is an opportunity to shape what private landownership means in a changing world — and to lead clients through that evolution with clarity, confidence and vision.
Our client has built their reputation by pairing deep-rooted rural expertise with future-focused thinking. With clients who are actively investing in sustainability, legacy, and diversification, they’re creating new standards in estate management — and this is your chance to help drive that charge.
🧭 The Opportunity
You’ll take a high-trust role in advising and guiding a select portfolio of private estate clients — landowners who want strategic insight, long-term thinking, and solutions that go far beyond tenancy schedules and compliance.
Your role will be to:
* Be a partner to clients, offering insight on diversification, legacy planning, land use, and change management.
* Help support and develop the high-performing team with a shared vision for rural innovation.
* Work cross-functionally with in-house experts in natural capital, planning, forestry, commercial and residential sectors.
* Drive new thinking around how land can be used, shared, restored, and grown — commercially and ecologically.
If you’re ready to move beyond the traditional, this role gives you the platform — and the backing — to do it.
💡 Why This is Different
Here’s what makes this business feel different from the inside:
* Progressive culture: There’s no old-school ego games and they’re open to innovation and ideas. You’re treated as a trusted leader and expert from day one.
* Multi-disciplinary minds: You’ll be working alongside planners, sustainability strategists, researchers and other experts — not just surveyors.
* Curious clients: You’re advising estates that want innovation, not inertia. They’re asking the right questions — and ready to act on the answers.
* Genuinely flexible working: Office presence is collaborative. Work where you do your best thinking.
* Deep, long-term relationships: This is not transactional work — it’s generational guidance.
🎁 Benefits That Matter
* 💡 Private healthcare for you and your family
* 💼 Bonus scheme based on real contribution
* 🏖 28+ days leave, with options to purchase more
* 🧘 Mental health support & wellbeing initiatives
* 🚀 Fully tailored leadership and professional development pathways
* ♻️ Cycle-to-work, EV salary sacrifice, and green benefits
* 🕓 Flexible working around life and priorities — not just office hours
👀 Who This Is For
This isn’t for someone looking to settle. It’s for someone ready to lead, challenge and influence — with the backing of a firm that will support you every step of the way.
If you’re MRICS or FAAV qualified, with strong experience in private estate management and the confidence to lead both clients and teams, we’d love to speak with you.
