You will work closely with the Lettings Area Director to cultivate a high-performing, collaborative, and positive culture. You will be accountable for delivering strong financial and performance results through effective leadership, engagement, and operational excellence.

Your responsibilities will include

• Acting as a brand ambassador, leading by example, and coaching your teams to be among the best in the industry.
• Championing the company vision and ensuring your teams understand and work towards our strategic goals.
• Coaching, developing, and managing all employees to maximise performance at every level.
• Overseeing all branch operations in your area, shaping clear career paths, and managing the P&L to drive financial success.
• Maximising employee engagement through proactive recruitment, reducing attrition, and supporting long-term retention.
• Monitoring and reporting on area performance against key financial and operational targets.
