• Support the Senior Property Manager on portfolio‑related matters and provide cover where required.
• Attend Central Procurement Meetings with service providers to ensure compliance, monitor KPIs, and manage contracts (e.g. M&E, insurance, utilities).
• Monitor internal systems and trackers (including GEM Central Tracker, Quooda, Bluebox, and Building Link), ensuring information is up to date, compliant, and reported as needed.
• Manage capital expenditure projects as directed.
• Provide support across the GEM team as required, assisting with any additional tasks or initiatives to ensure smooth portfolio management and delivery of team objectives.
