* Manage budgets, P&L, and financial performance, identifying opportunities to increase revenue and control costs.
* Build and nurture partnerships with universities, local businesses, and community organisations to raise the profile of the scheme.
* Shape a thriving student community where residents feel safe, supported, and proud to live.
About you
* Proven background in operations and people leadership, ideally in PBSA, residential property, hotels, or a similar service-driven sector.
* Strong commercial mindset - comfortable with lettings, sales & hitting financial targets.
* Highly organised, proactive, and resilient, with the ability to balance strategic priorities and day-to-day challenges.
* A natural leader who can empower teams, build culture, and deliver results.
What’s on offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* The chance to take full ownership of a large site in Bristol.
* Genuine opportunities for progression with a market-leading PBSA operator experiencing strong growth.
