Hirexo are partnering with a newly launched, private equity–backed valuation platform as they look to recruit a Senior Valuation Surveyor (MRICS) as it establishes a brand-new Manchester office at Salford Quays. Backed by a leading PE firm and built by senior industry figures, the business has bold growth ambitions and a clear vision to become one of the next market leaders in valuation and advisory services.
This is a rare opportunity to join at an early and influential stage, shaping the valuation function, processes and culture from the ground up.
About Our Client
Our client is a high-growth start-up operating in the valuation and advisory space, supported by private equity investment and led by a senior leadership team with deep experience across some of the most recognised names in the industry.
The business has been deliberately designed for scale, with ambitious plans for national growth, service expansion and market disruption. With significant financial backing and a clear strategic roadmap, this is a genuinely exciting time to get involved and help build the next leader in this field.
The Opportunity
This is a senior, commercially focused valuation role offering real autonomy, influence and decision-making authority.
The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering high-quality valuation advice while helping to shape business-critical decisions, operational standards and growth initiatives. This is a role for someone who wants more than just a title — it’s for an individual who wants to make their mark, take ownership and grow alongside the business.
Key Responsibilities
* Delivering high-quality valuation advice in line with RICS standards across relevant asset classes.
* Acting as a trusted valuation expert to internal stakeholders, investors and external partners.
* Taking ownership of complex valuation instructions and providing clear, commercially robust advice.
* Playing a key role in shaping valuation processes, controls and best practice as the business scales.
* Contributing to strategic and business-critical decisions within a fast-growing start-up environment.
* Supporting the development of the Manchester office and wider valuation function.
* Working closely with senior leadership and private equity stakeholders as the business grows.
* Helping to establish the firm’s reputation, credibility and market presence.
* Remaining hands-on while operating at a senior, commercially minded level.
Candidate Profile
* Fully RICS qualified (MRICS) is essential.
* Substantial experience within valuation, ideally within a commercial, lender or advisory-led environment.
* Strong technical knowledge with the confidence to take ownership of complex work.
* Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving start-up.
* Hungry, driven and motivated to build something meaningful rather than step into a static role.
* Commercially astute, with the ability to influence and support business-critical decisions.
* Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and industry leaders.
Package & Benefits
* Base salary: £70,000 – £95,000 depending on experience
* Performance-related bonus structure
* 30 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Hybrid working model
* Brand new, high-spec office at Salford Quays, Manchester
