New Estates Business Partner

We’re working with a large, complex higher education organisation to recruit an Estate Business Partner to play a key strategic role within its Estates Division. This is a senior, autonomous position responsible for aligning estate strategy, service delivery and capital investment with academic and operational priorities across a defined portfolio of buildings and space. Acting as the primary liaison between Estates and senior stakeholders, you’ll shape long-term estate planning, influence investment decisions, and ensure high-quality delivery of estates services ranging from capital projects to day-to-day operations. You’ll oversee a substantial and varied estate portfolio, providing strategic oversight of capital programmes, lifecycle maintenance, space utilisation, sustainability initiatives and data governance. Working closely with academic leaders, professional services and estates teams, you’ll translate requirements into practical, future-focused estate solutions while driving performance, value for money and continuous improvement.
