About the Role

As Centre Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the day‑to‑day operations and long‑term success of this evolving asset. You’ll manage everything from contractor relationships, M&E, facilities management, and service charge budgets, ensuring smooth operations while elevating the estate’s profile during a period of significant change.

You’ll have the support of an on‑site Assistant, but ultimate responsibility for the centre and estate will rest with you. This is a hands‑on role where your expertise will shape the future of a key destination.

• Retail experience is essential, you’ve been there, done that, and understand what makes retail tick.
• Proven ability to thrive in fast‑paced, changing environments.
• Strong operational management skills, including budget control and contractor oversight.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills to engage stakeholders and inspire your team.

Join a forward thinking, ambitious property developer where you’ll have the autonomy and responsibility to make a real impact as you help transform and elevate a major asset.”
