Job description

be doingOn the property side, you'll take ownership of the day to day running and administration of the portfolio, including:

• Building relationships with commercial and residential tenants
• Managing rental collections and maintaining accurate records
• Handling tenant queries and resolving issues
• Coordinating repairs, maintenance and other property works
• Sourcing and managing suppliers, contractors and subcontractors
• Maintaining property, tenancy and contract information
• Keeping track of property income and expenditure
• Introducing an appropriate property management system to bring everything together
• Supporting the Finance Director with information around existing properties and potential future opportunities

Alongside this, you'll become part of the wider finance team and provide support where it's needed including reconciliations, financial administration, reporting, maintaining records and helping improve processes and controls.

Who are we looking for?

You might already work in property management or property accounts and enjoy the financial side of what you do. You could equally come from an accounts or finance background, but be someone who enjoys dealing with people, solving problems and taking responsibility for something broader than the numbers. Or perhaps you've worked in a smaller business where your role naturally spans property, finance, suppliers, contracts and general commercial activity. More important than having followed a particular career path is that you're: Organised, practical and comfortable juggling different priorities Numerically confident with good financial administration skills Comfortable dealing with tenants, suppliers and contractors Able to work independently and take genuine ownership Commercially aware and confident using your judgement Good at building relationships with different types of people Naturally inclined to improve systems and processes Confident with Excel and comfortable learning new systems Happy working in an entrepreneurial environment where things don't always fit neatly into a job descriptionPrevious property experience would certainly be useful, but we're equally interested in people with a strong finance or commercial background who have the organisation, confidence and common sense to take ownership of the portfolio.
