• Manage Section 20 consultations from start to finish, from specifications and tenders through to contractor appointment and project delivery
• Oversee compliance across the portfolio, including fire risk assessments, health and safety, insurance, and building safety obligations under the Building Safety Act where relevant
• Carry out regular site inspections and make sure contractors deliver to a high standard and represent value for money
• Handle lease enforcement, breaches, and the more sensitive leaseholder issues with tact and authority
• Support and mentor more junior property managers, setting the standard for service across the team

• Confidence running meetings and presenting to directors and leaseholders
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage a demanding portfolio without losing the personal touch
• A relevant qualification such as TPI or IRPM (or working towards one), which would be a real advantage
• A full UK driving licence, given the site visits involved

The Package

• Salary of £50,000
• Hybrid working- 1 days a week in the Brighton office
