  • managing external consultants, managing agents and professional advisors
  • working closely with senior stakeholders to support long term financial sustainability
  • identifying redevelopment, repositioning and asset enhancement opportunities.

Requirements

Experience managing investment property, disposals, acquisitions, landlord & tenant matters, and portfolio strategy.

What we offer

  • Local Government Pension
  • genuine flexibility and hybrid working (typically one office day per week)
  • significant autonomy and decision making responsibility
  • high profile portfolio with real commercial challenges and opportunities
  • opportunity to shape the future direction of a major property estate
