The Opportunity
We are working with a large, well-established institutional client to appoint a Client-Side Estates Manager to support the strategic asset management of a substantial and diverse property portfolio across the Midlands. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced estates or asset management professional to move client-side and play a key role in shaping the long-term performance of a major estate.
The Role
Reporting into the Head of Estates / Asset Management, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day management and strategic oversight of a varied estate, ensuring assets are optimised financially, operationally, and in line with wider organisational objectives.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Asset management of a large, mixed-use estate, including commercial, operational, and development assets
* Developing and implementing asset management strategies to maximise value and performance
* Overseeing lease events, rent reviews, renewals, regears, and disposals
* Instructing and managing external property advisors, agents, and consultants
* Preparing business cases, investment appraisals, and asset performance reports
* Supporting development, refurbishment, and repurposing opportunities across the estate
* Ensuring compliance with governance, risk, and ESG requirements
* Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders and occupiers
About You
* Proven experience in estates management or asset management, ideally within a large or complex portfolio
* Background in commercial property, whether from client-side, consultancy, or managing agent environments
* Strong understanding of landlord and tenant matters and property strategy
* Commercially minded with the ability to interpret financial and performance data
* Comfortable managing consultants and working with senior stakeholders
* MRICS qualified or working towards qualification (desirable)
Why Apply?
* Rare client-side role with a major institutional estate
* Opportunity to influence long-term asset strategy rather than purely transactional work
* Broad, varied portfolio offering genuine career development
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Midlands-based role with flexible and hybrid working
This role would suit a proactive, strategic estates professional looking to make a long-term impact within a respected institutional environment.
