As the business continues to grow and evolve, we are looking for a commercially driven Estates Manager to help optimise the performance, cost efficiency and long-term value of our property estate.
This is a highly commercial role, suited to someone with strong experience in lease negotiations, landlord and tenant strategy, cost management and portfolio analysis, who enjoys working at pace in a dynamic, multi-brand environment.
The Role

* Maintain accurate and up-to-date lease data, contracts and property documentation across the estate
* Identify opportunities to reduce occupancy costs and improve commercial performance across the portfolio
* Act as the key escalation point for commercial property matters from Operations and restaurant leadership teams
* Liaise with external advisers including surveyors, solicitors, managing agents and local authorities
* Support refurbishments, relocations and new openings from a commercial and lease perspective
* Ensure the estate remains compliant with all statutory, legal and regulatory obligations, working alongside Property and H&S teams
* Provide commercial insight and reporting to senior stakeholders to support strategic estate decisions
* Participate in an out-of-hours emergency support rota for critical estate issues
About You
