*

Enjoy genuine autonomy, backed by strong central operational and technical support

About You

*

Entrepreneurial, commercially minded, and excited by the challenge of building an office
*

Well-connected in the Yorkshire/North planning market
*

Confident winning work and fostering long-term client partnerships
*

Skilled in delivering high-quality planning advice across a range of sectors
*

Collaborative, people-focused, and eager to shape a new team culture

Why This Opportunity?

Join a consultancy with an exceptional reputation and a diverse, robust project pipeline
*

Play a defining role in opening and scaling a new office
*

Benefit from real progression, long-term incentives, and leadership influence
*
