Cobalt is recruiting a Senior Block Manager to take ownership of a London residential portfolio for an established property management organisation. Offering a salary of up to £60,000 and a fully remote working arrangement, this opportunity combines home working with autonomy over a varied portfolio. Regular site attendance across London is required, including occasional attendance at short notice.
The organisation is responsible for a varied London portfolio encompassing residential blocks, mixed-use schemes, RMC and RTM structures and higher-rise buildings. The business is looking for a Property Manager who can take genuine ownership of their portfolio, providing clients and residents with a consistent service while maintaining control of financial, compliance and operational matters.
The role and responsibilities include:
- Taking day-to-day ownership of a portfolio of residential blocks and mixed-use developments.
- Preparing service charge budgets, monitoring expenditure and identifying potential funding issues.
- Managing RMC and RTM relationships and communicating effectively with directors and leaseholders.
- Maintaining oversight of compliance, building safety and fire-safety actions across the portfolio.
- Managing contractors and inspecting works and standards on site where required.
- Identifying operational, financial or compliance risks early and presenting appropriate solutions.
- Providing structured updates to senior leadership and reducing unnecessary operational escalations.
- Attending developments across London when building safety, contractor, client or operational matters require an on-site presence.
The skills needed and requirements include:
- ATPI or MPTI qualification.
- Strong working knowledge of London residential block management.
- Experience preparing and managing service charge budgets and forecasts.
- Working knowledge of RMC and RTM governance.
- Working knowledge of building safety, fire safety, contractor management and residential compliance.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work confidently with directors, leaseholders and contractors.
- A full UK driving licence and access to a car for business travel.
Experience managing higher-rise buildings, major works, remediation projects or live FRA actions would be beneficial but isn’t essential. This is an opportunity for a Property Manager who wants the flexibility of a fully remote/home-based position while retaining ownership and visibility across a London portfolio. With a salary of up to £60,000, applications are expected to move quickly. Apply now to be considered, with interviews ongoing.
