MAPP has created V1.0, V2.0, V3.0 and V4.0 framework of Property Management, to help clients and occupiers navigate the new landscape, and to ensure we deliver a fully integrated and holistic approach.

Most job descriptions read like a recipe without a clear picture of what the final product looks like. We want to give you a picture of who we are and the role we are looking to fill. If this position excites you, and you think you could make a difference at MAPP, do apply, even if you don't satisfy every single criterion.

At MAPP, we want to make the real estate industry a career path where everyone feels both welcome and wanted. We're proud of our progress so far, but we're constantly reevaluating how we can make sure the best people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, background or neurodiversity, can see themselves excelling at MAPP.

Our MAPP values underpin everything we do. We were the first national real estate consultancy in the UK to become a B Corp. We want you to learn and grow, to challenge yourself and be the best you can be. As an organisation, we are growing, and have done so for the last five years. We promote about 10% of our office-based roles in a year. We have fun together with events and opportunities to connect, grow and learn with charity days and fundraising events for our communities, as well as study days that broaden our professional horizons.

This role gives you the opportunity to be a part of our effort to do something a little bit special in property management, and we would love for you to apply. We are always on the lookout for great character - that is what makes us MAPP people. If that is you, we would love to meet you!
