About the role – what does an Estate Manager do?

Being an Estates Manager at Star Pubs is about more than property—it’s about having a strategic vision for the estate, optimising profit streams, and building asset value. You’ll work closely with other Estates Managers as the regional operations team’s go-to property expert, bringing expertise in Landlord and Tenant law and the Pubs Code Regulations.

Reporting to the Estates Team Leader, you’ll provide expert advice on asset management, overseeing a portfolio of around 150 sites across East Anglia, including parts of Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and North London.

You’ll drive estate value through rental negotiations and development opportunities, working both independently and as part of a team. Most importantly, you’ll enjoy engaging with people. Your responsibilities include managing rent events, negotiating rent reviews and lease renewals, and ensuring the best terms for new lets and capex schemes for both Star Pubs and our customers.

"Not having experience in the industry should not put you off applying for a role at Star Pubs. This was my situation, and starting a new role here has been such a positive change. The team is incredibly supportive and welcoming, providing extensive training and a staged transition into the role. The autonomy to manage your diary, balance work with personal life, and collaborate with a diverse team is invaluable."

— Simon, Estate Manager

Who we’re looking for

We work in a regulated environment and ensure we have consistent ways of working across all our regions, so you’ll need to be exceptionally well-planned and organised with great attention to detail. You’ll draw upon your well-honed negotiation skills for a wide range of challenges in this role, including managing Market Rent Options which involve detailed negotiations with our licensees.

This role would pose a great change and challenge for somebody who has managed multi-sites and is experienced in rent review programs (ideally using the profits method of valuation and is MRICS qualified). A great part of your role will involve influencing others, as well as coaching and supporting our Business Development Managers on rent negotiations. You’ll be the champion of Estates matters, taking ownership of in-house training of best practices.

"My first three months at Star Pubs have been a breath of fresh air. The welcoming team and flexible work-life balance have made the transition smooth and enjoyable. I'm proud to be part of a global company like Heineken, where I'm continuously learning and expanding my skill set."

— Charlie, Estate Manager
