This role is with one of the largest direct conveyancers in the UK, a company that has been providing services for an exceptionally long time and is backed by a leading provider—ensuring its long-term stability. Even during COVID and periods of recession, the company has never been forced to make redundancies, thanks to the consistent and guaranteed stream of work it receives each month.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the delivery of residential conveyancing services, ensuring service level agreements (SLAs) are met and client expectations exceeded, positioning the team as a leader in the market
• Build and maintain strong client relationships through regular meetings, presentations and appropriate client engagement activities
• Identify and implement process improvements and service innovations that enhance client satisfaction and operational efficiency, while managing costs effectively
• Oversee and embed change initiatives smoothly and efficiently within the department
• Inspire, develop and support your direct reports to help them reach their full potential, promoting a culture of high performance
• Monitor team performance, focusing on improving exchange conversion rates and effectively managing the pipeline through regular analysis
• Take a proactive approach to enhancing the client journey, identifying and actioning improvements to the overall customer experience
• Handle complaints professionally and promptly, ensuring resolution is in line with established procedures

• Commercial acumen and a strong understanding of the UK conveyancing landscape
• Outstanding interpersonal and client relationship management skills, both internally and externally
• A genuine passion for delivering exceptional customer service and a clear vision of what excellence looks like in this space

Low staff attrition is paramount at this firm, with so many members of the team having been with the firm for 10, 20 years+, it achieves this by offering training, support, progression and prioritising the wellbeing of its staff.

It has been and continue to be at the forefront of the conveyancing market and due to continue organic growth, is looking to hire into its Leeds based team on a hybrid basis.
