• Liaise with Property Administrators to ensure all property data is accurate and up to date.
• Collaborate with Finance to ensure timely invoicing and rent collection, and develop collection strategies for outstanding debts.
• Lead the service charge budget process, ensuring transparency, value for money, and cost recovery.
• Review supplier contracts regularly, identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
• Oversee service charge reconciliations and invoice approvals, maintaining compliance with KPIs and RICS standards.

• Manage insurance matters including renewals and claims with brokers.
• Drive ESG initiatives by capturing tenant data and identifying areas for improvement across your portfolio.
• Ensure utility metering across common and demised areas is accurate and technically sound.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to their development.
• Share knowledge, problem‑solve collaboratively, and contribute to the wider success of the team.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ Years of Property Management experience (excluding residential)
• Strong track record in commercial property management across office, retail, or mixed‑use assets - retail advantageous
• Deep understanding of lease obligations, landlord/tenant responsibilities, and service charge administration
• Experience in supplier procurement, service charge budgeting, and delivering value for money
• Financially literate, with the ability to understand and support reporting on budgets and asset performance
