Cardiff Full-Time No working from home possible
Oyster

We’re looking for a strategic yet hands-on Asset Manager to lead the performance and growth of a UK-wide student housing portfolio.

This is an opportunity to join a nimble, investment-backed Real Estate platform focused on repositioning and optimising student living assets. You’ll work directly with the leadership team, shaping strategy, driving operational success, and unlocking value across a diverse PBSA portfolio.

You’ll take full ownership of asset performance — blending analytical insight with practical delivery to drive NOI, occupancy, and long-term value.

Key focus areas include:

  • Setting and executing asset-level business plans to grow income and value.
  • Leading refurbishment, ESG, and CapEx programmes to enhance asset performance.
  • Partnering with operators, consultants, and development teams to deliver results.
  • Using market data and pricing trends to inform strategy and repositioning.
  • Managing budgets, reporting, and investor communications with precision.
  • Building strong local relationships with universities, operators, and key stakeholders.
  • Supporting transactions and ensuring smooth operational transitions.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • 5+ years Asset Management experience within PSBSA.
  • Strong financial and analytical capability — especially in Excel and data interpretation.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and third-party partners.
  • A proactive mindset, with curiosity around technology and AI that can enhance operations.
  • Excellent communication skills and an organised, adaptable working style.

What’s on offer:

  • Flat, agile structure with direct access to senior decision-makers
  • Exposure to the full investment lifecycle – from acquisition to exit
  • Freedom to make a tangible impact in a growing UK platform

This is more than portfolio management — it’s about building value from the ground up. If you’re ready to lead, influence, and help shape a fast-moving investment platform redefining the PBSA market, we’d love to hear from you.
