Job description

I’m working with a large, complex organisation looking for a senior space management professional to step into a high-impact, strategic role. This is a 12-month FTC with strong potential to go permanent, sitting right at the intersection of estates strategy, sustainability, and senior stakeholder influence.

You’ll be leading organisation-wide space planning across a varied estate, shaping how space is used now and in the future, balancing efficiency, inclusivity, sustainability, and value for money. Expect close collaboration with senior leaders, data-led decision making, and ownership of major space initiatives.

What you’ll be doing (in short):

• Owning and driving strategic space planning and utilisation at an enterprise level
• Translating data into clear insights for senior decision-makers
• Leading complex space-related projects and governance
• Influencing a wide range of stakeholders across professional services and operational teams
• Helping embed a culture of smarter, more sustainable space use

What they’re looking for:

• Proven senior-level experience in space or estates management
• Comfortable operating in large, complex environments
• Strong stakeholder influence, analytical capability, and strategic mindset
• Able to juggle competing priorities and still deliver at pace

The basics:

Hybrid working (2–3 days on site)

Mon–Fri, standard office hours

If you like roles where you can genuinely shape the future rather than just manage the present, this one’s worth a conversation.
