• Support the structuring and negotiation of commercial-style leases with care providers, housing associations, and local authorities
• Prepare operational updates and reports for weekly board meetings
• Coordinate with internal teams and external agents to ensure high performance and minimal disruption across the portfolio
• Contribute to upcoming development and expansion projects, including the mobilisation of a 100-unit residential scheme
The Ideal Candidate:

• Brings experience working with institutional or non-AST lease agreements (e.g. care, housing associations, or council leasing models)
• Understands service charge structuring, performance benchmarking, and compliance frameworks
• Is comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on levels
• Demonstrates commercial awareness and a practical understanding of property-related financial targets (e.g. monthly rent roll, void impact)
• Is seeking an opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role and contribute to the scaling of a high-value portfolio
Desirable Backgrounds:
• Build to Rent, Housing Associations, Principal-Led Developers, Family Offices, Real Estate Investment Firms
• Experience in launch and mobilisation of resi schemes or portfolio acquisitions
• MRICS, MARLA, or equivalent professional qualifications are an advantage
