Lettings Manager (Portfolio Lead) — £30,000–£32,000 + Bonus | Flexible Work | Maidstone, Kent.
Immediate Start | Hybrid/Home-Based | Mileage Paid | Progression Opportunity.
Do you have a passion for property and a hunger to prove yourself in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment? Are you someone who lives for results, loves connecting with people, and thrives on the buzz of closing a deal?
Welcome to The Kushman Group — one of Kent’s largest family-owned, landlord-led property businesses. From HMOs to flats and single lets, we manage a diverse and growing portfolio across Maidstone, Ashford, Sheerness, Ramsgate, and the surrounding areas.
We’re not your typical letting agency. We own the homes we manage — and we care about who lives in them. Now, we’re looking for a Lettings Manager (Portfolio Lead) who’s ready to take the reins and drive lettings performance with creativity, urgency, and full autonomy.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Letting Properties at Speed: List available rooms and flats on portals such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and Spare Room. Respond to leads quickly and organise viewings with minimal delay. Your goal: fill vacancies fast.
- Conducting Viewings & Property Checks: Use your own vehicle (mileage paid) to visit properties across our Kent portfolio. You’ll host viewings professionally, conduct regular inspections, and ensure homes meet compliance and safety standards.
- Working Directly with Ownership: You’ll work closely with the company directors, supported by a remote back-office admin team in the Philippines and India. They’ll handle the backend — you focus on outcomes.
- Maintaining Tenancy Experience & Compliance: From move-in to maintenance to renewals, ensure that tenants are happy, legal standards are met, and the homes are well cared for.
About You:
- You’ve worked in a lettings, property management, or HMO-focused role before, ideally within the Kent area.
- You’re a confident and natural salesperson — quick on your feet, warm with people, and relentless when it comes to hitting your letting goals.
- You’re organised, self-sufficient, and driven, known for taking initiative and staying ahead of the game.
- You hold a valid UK driving licence, have access to your own vehicle, and are happy to travel regionally as needed.
- You’re comfortable with evening or early-morning viewings, depending on tenant availability.
- You enjoy flexible work-from-home arrangements and are happy working with a globally distributed admin support team.
Contract & Compensation:
- Starting Pay: £30,000–£32,000 based on experience.
- Performance Bonuses: Paid for meeting personal occupancy and rent collection targets.
- Mileage Paid for all business-related travel.
Contract Status:
- The role opens on a contract-basis during the probation period (up to 12 months).
- High performers may be offered permanent employment well before 12 months.
- Clearly defined metrics so you know what success looks like.
Why Join The Kushman Group?
- We’re Landlords, Not Middlemen — You’ll work where decisions are made and see the impact of your work every day.
- You Get Real Responsibility — This is a hands-on role with true portfolio ownership.
- We Support You to Succeed — Admin and compliance task support is handled by our overseas team so you can focus on delivering results.
- Flexible, Entrepreneurial Culture — Build your schedule around performance, not timesheets. What matters here is what you produce.
