Job description

Lettings Director / Head of Lettings – Boutique Property Agency

North London

I’m working with a boutique North London property agency looking for an experienced lettings professional to take ownership of and grow their lettings business.

This is a newly created role with real autonomy. The focus is on building long-term landlord relationships, winning new instructions and growing the lettings portfolio — whilst maintaining the highly personal, consultative service the business is known for.

This role will:

• Lead and grow the lettings function across North London, with a focus on Hampstead, Highgate, Islington areas
• Build a strong pipeline of new landlords and win new instructions
• Develop trusted, long-term relationships with landlords rather than relying on a high-pressure sales approach
• Take ownership of lettings strategy, performance and revenue, overseeing the existing lettings portfolio while identifying opportunities for growth
• Lead and develop a small but growing Lettings team

This role needs:

• Strong experience within residential lettings, likely 5+ years
• A highly personable, consultative approach to business development with strong relationship-building skills and the ability to become a trusted adviser to landlords
• Excellent knowledge of the North London market — ideally areas such as Hampstead, Highgate, Islington and surrounding locations
• A proven track record of winning new landlord instructions and growing a lettings book
• Experience operating at Lettings Manager, Head of Lettings, Associate Director or Director level

This role offers:

• A generous package with strong six-figure earning potential
• The opportunity to lead and shape an entire lettings function - an existing operation to build from, alongside considerable scope for growth
• Significant autonomy within a successful, boutique, highly personalised property business

This opportunity could suit an experienced Head of Lettings or Lettings Director, or an exceptional Lettings Manager / Associate Director ready to take the next step and build something of their own.
