Job description

We're looking for an experienced Senior Property Portfolio Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day management and oversight of a substantial private residential property portfolio.

This is a unique owner-side opportunity for someone who enjoys being the person who makes things happen.

You'll work closely with established letting agents, property managers, contractors, surveyors, accountants and other professional advisers - but importantly, you'll be representing the owner and holding those relationships to account.

This is not a traditional lettings role.

We're looking for someone who can step back, see the bigger picture, challenge when necessary and make sure issues don't simply sit in an inbox. You'll be expected to understand the issue, take ownership, drive it forward and bring the owner clear recommendations when a decision is required.

What will you be doing?

• Managing and challenging external letting and property management agents
• Taking ownership of the portfolio's administration and key deadlines
• Monitoring rental income, expenditure, fees and property costs
• Overseeing significant maintenance, repairs and larger projects
• Keeping on top of compliance and risk across the portfolio
• Monitoring tenants, renewals, rent reviews and property issues
• Coordinating contractors, advisers and professional teams
• Providing clear, concise reporting and recommendations to the owner
• Identifying problems early and getting them resolved

Who are we looking for?

• Experienced in managing residential property portfolios
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Commercially aware and confident challenging agents and suppliers
• A strong communicator and relationship manager
• Proactive, rather than reactive
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Discreet, trustworthy and able to operate with a high level of confidentiality
• Experience within a private property investment, family office, high-net-worth private client, property investment or asset management environment would be particularly valuable.

Why is this role different?

You won't just be managing properties.

You'll become the owner's right hand when it comes to the property portfolio - ensuring the portfolio is professionally managed, opportunities and issues are identified, costs are controlled and nothing gets lost or forgotten.
