Job description

We are looking for a driven and commercially minded Residential Asset Manager to take ownership of performance across our growing London Residential Portfolio.

Reporting into the Director of Asset Management, you will manage asset-level business plans across the full lifecycle - from acquisition and stabilisation through leasing and disposal. This is a diverse, high-impact role that demands both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You'll work independently and collaboratively, and you'll be expected to challenge strategy, drive value creation, and deliver results.

If you're looking for a role where your commercial instincts, initiative, and expertise will genuinely shape the direction of a business - this is it.

Company Overview

We are a London-based, privately-owned, self-funded real estate business specialising in Build-to-Rent and Co-Living. Our mission is simple: Winning Together. The Right Way.

We partner with funds, asset managers, institutional landlords, and private residential owners to unlock portfolio performance and deliver intelligent solutions across the living sector. Our work spans high-quality residential assets across London, and our client partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and a consistent track record of results.

We are independent, agile, and values-driven. We see compliance not as a constraint, but as a competitive advantage. Everything we do is guided by our POWER values - Positivity, Ownership, World-Class Basics, Exceed Expectations, and Rise.

Key Responsibilities

Disposals Strategy

• Build and manage relationships with sales agents to maximise asset value and run efficient marketing campaigns
• Monitor sales market dynamics and feed live data into exit timing and pricing strategy

• Understand and proactively manage the full disposal process from offer to completion

Leasing

• Set accurate rental pricing and occupancy strategies to optimise income
• Develop a strong understanding of occupational market dynamics
• Take a long-term, strategic approach to asset management — balancing quick wins with sustained value creation

Finance

• Assess how asset management decisions impact investment returns
• Drive NOI growth and value-creation initiatives across the portfolio
• Monitor performance against underwriting targets

Legal

• Coordinate with external solicitors and advisors
• Manage the legal process across disposals, including involvement in TA6 and TA7 forms

Development

• Oversee unit refurbishments at end of tenancy, aligned with leasing or disposal strategies
• Engage with professional teams through design and delivery stages
• Support the wider team in underwriting new opportunities
• Contribute to legal and technical due diligence as required

Reporting

• Present clear and concise recommendations to the team and Investment Committee
• Assist with quarterly investor and bank reporting

About You

• Proven experience in residential asset management within Build-to-Rent, PRS, or Co-Living - ideally across the full lifecycle from acquisition through to disposal
• Strong commercial and creative thinking, with the ability to challenge strategy and deliver business plans
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present recommendations confidently to senior stakeholders and Investment Committees
• A commercial mindset with the confidence to take ownership and operate with a high degree of autonomy
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider team, proactively contributing to shared goals
• Strong understanding of the residential investment, occupational, and sales markets
• High attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and proficiency in CRM and property management software

Why Join Us?

• Independent, privately-owned business - agile, values-led, and free from bureaucracy
• A high-impact role with real ownership across a quality London residential portfolio
• Work alongside funds, institutional landlords, and leading asset managers
• Strong team culture that empowers and supports your growth
• Clear pathway for career progression for those who want to Rise
