* 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
