Property Lettings & Management Assistant in London

About Us

We are fast-growing, supporting entrepreneurs, micro and creative businesses, providing Affordable Workspaces across London. We mentor, train and support the talent of today, letting and managing the spaces we own. We are a small, hard-working, creative team, professional and highly driven with a sense of humour.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone special - is it for you? You are smart, bright, organised and sharp on detail. Lateral thinking is second nature to you, as is great common sense and a driven make-it-happen, not watch-it-happen mindset. Your sparkling personality carries you through challenges, and with it your sense of humour. You are detailed, charming, persuasive and have great empathy.

This is an outstanding opportunity to make your mark within a small, friendly team that will mentor, help and support you to exceed your own expectations. The role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the A-Z of commercial property, covering lettings, tenant relations, operations, and marketing. You will play an integral part in facilitating our mission to create vibrant, accessible workspace communities across London and have considerable freedom, after a short probation period, to demonstrate your entrepreneurial flair.

Key Responsibilities

• Commercial lettings & tenant relations: showing studio/workspace units to enquiries; marketing vacant spaces; managing and closing prospective tenants by phone and email; negotiating terms, preparing tenancy agreements.
• Marketing & communications: managing our social media channels; contributing to website content, blog posts, LinkedIn updates and news articles; supporting design and content decisions; and creative closing of opportunities.
• Property operations & maintenance: liaising with external contractors; coordinating maintenance schedules; communicating with existing tenants across day-to-day matters of all the building's elements.

This exciting opportunity is fast-paced and will only suit someone that is highly driven and motivated, wishing to learn and prosper across financial decision making, creative researching of opportunities, sales, marketing and property project management. Reporting directly to the portfolio manager, you will have the opportunity to learn, with significant support in the role and regular access to the wider team, including the founders of the business.

Are we made for each other?

We’re seeking someone who is:

• Enthusiastic, a self-starter, creative thinker, with high energy, accuracy and professionalism.
• Organised with great common sense, smart at finding solutions, proactive and reliable.
• Adaptable, able to manage multiple projects and tasks with ease, across multiple sites, where priorities ever evolve.
• A confident communicator, engaging with tenants, contractors and colleagues clearly and accurately.
• Self-motivated with a “can-do” attitude; ready to take initiative and learn on the job.
• Creative and interested in marketing, business development and community engagement.
• Excellent communication skills, IT literate.
• Eager to work in a dynamic, start-up style environment — flexible and ready to get “stuck in.”

This is an outstanding opportunity and a mile away from the boring, dull, lifeless internships that so many companies offer. We welcome applications from young people who can tick the boxes above, but may lack formal property industry experience. We value energy, initiative, commitment and a readiness to learn above this. Being based in London and in close proximity to Vauxhall is an advantage.

What We Offer

• A 6-month internship, leading to a permanent position or promotion.
• An outstanding long-term opportunity to join a company, fast expanding.
• Competitive pay plus an Oyster card for Zones 1–3.
• Vauxhall-based and travel across London.
• Working hours (Monday–Friday, 08:30–18:00).
• Hands-on experience in commercial lettings, tenant engagement, asset and property management, property operations, and marketing.
• A creative working environment with daily direct exposure to the founders.
