Job Title: Assistant Building Manager (Full-Time, Permanent)
Company: M2 Property (www.m2property.com)
Location: 6 Roland Gardens, South Kensington, London, SW7 3PH
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
About M2 Property
M2 Property is a boutique, director-led property management firm located in South Kensington. We are hyper‑local on purpose – we only manage premium residential buildings, Victorian/Edwardian mansion blocks, and conversions strictly within a 15–20 minute radius of our office, ensuring we can visit often and respond quickly.
We pride ourselves on direct, personal communication with our clients – meaning no call centres, no automated ticketing queues, and a highly stable, hands‑on team. With a 97% client retention rate, we treat every property as if it were our own.
The Role
We are looking to recruit an energetic, detail‑oriented Assistant Building Manager to join our small, close‑knit team on the ground. This is an excellent opportunity for an office‑experienced university graduate looking to develop a long‑term, rewarding career in prime central London residential property asset management.
Working directly alongside our experienced Building Managers and Property Managers, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our portfolio runs smoothly.
Key Responsibilities
* Property Oversight & Inspections: Assisting with regular, hands‑on building checks, compiling detailed photo‑reports, and ensuring our strict standards are met.
* Client & Tenant Liaison: Providing exceptional, direct personal communication via phone, email, and WhatsApp, handling day‑to‑day inquiries without relying on automated systems.
* Operations & Administration: Managing daily office operations, maintaining property files, updating compliance data, and assisting with building administration.
* Maintenance Coordination: Helping line up and coordinate trusted local trades and contractors for routine repairs and ongoing maintenance.
* Compliance Support: Tracking and scheduling mandatory health and safety checks (fire, electrical, gas, asbestos).
* Financial Administration: Assisting with supplier invoicing, expenditure tracking, and supporting our Chartered Accountant‑overseen finance operations.
Candidate Profile
This role requires someone who loves a mix of office‑based coordination and being out on‑site in central London neighbourhoods.
* Education: A university degree (any discipline; business, real estate or finance‑adjacent fields are a bonus).
* Experience: Proven administrative or office‑based experience. A professional telephone manner and strong written communication skills are essential.
* Attributes: Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment where you manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
* Tech Literacy: Proficient in standard office software (Microsoft Office, Google Drive/Workspace). Any experience with residential property management platforms is an advantage but not required.
* Local Mindset: Comfortable walking/travelling between our tight patch of managed properties across South Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, and Westminster.
What We Offer
* A permanent, stable career path within a highly respected, independent firm.
* Direct mentorship from industry‑experienced Directors and Senior Building Managers.
* A fantastic, vibrant office location in the heart of South Kensington (just a 5‑minute walk from Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stations).
* Standard office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:30 pm).
* A competitive salary tailored to your background.
To Apply
If you want to move away from rigid corporate structures and build a genuine career with a hands‑on, local team, we would love to hear from you.
