Are you looking for:

• High profile portfolio / exciting buildings
• First class company that values its Property Managers and promotes a healthy work/life balance
• Company offering extensive benefits and career opportunity
• Working with positive, happy and driven colleagues and back office support teams

A rare opportunity to join a five-time "Great Place to Work UK" award-winner. Trade the high Block numbers chaos for a role located in the heart of London, designed for genuine professional management.

Our client is a premier Block Management specialist that has spent the last five years being formally recognised as one of the best employers in the UK. They have built their reputation on a simple philosophy: provide Managers with an elite support structure so they can deliver a gold-standard service to their clients without the burnout.

Based in a brand-new, state-of-the-art head office in Central London (moments from the train station), this role is perfectly positioned for an easy commute and offers an enviable lifestyle location for your lunch breaks and post-work socials.

The Portfolio: Quality & Local Focus

Our client focuses on a manageable, boutique-style portfolio. While you will lead on all aspects of management, the portfolio currently consists of local, lower-complexity buildings, allowing you to be present on-site without the burden of long-distance travel.

Prime Location: Situated in Central London, seconds from the station so car or parking required.

Manageable Scale: A portfolio designed for quality of service, not just unit count.

Modern Environment: Work from a state-of-the-art office designed for high-level collaboration.

• H&S & Compliance Team: Leading on FRAs and navigating all statutory safety requirements.
• Major Works Team: Expert surveyors managing the Section 20 process from start to finish.
• Legal & Accounts: In-house specialists handling PL1s, legal admin, and service charge accounting.
• Dedicated Assistant: Providing direct support for the day-to-day.

Key Responsibilities

Acting as the primary point of contact for RMC directors and leaseholders, your focus will be:

• Site Presence: Conducting regular site visits to ensure buildings are maintained to the highest standards.
• Site staff management and development
• Relationship Management: Leading AGMs and board meetings with the support.
• Financial Oversight: Setting annual service charge budgets with the support.
• Contractor Performance: Overseeing local contractors to ensure high standards of maintenance.
• Insurance: Managing claims and renewals in tandem with specialist brokers.

The Rewards: Invest in YOUR Future

Our client is committed to the long-term career health of their staff. They offer a structured environment where hard work is formally recognised:

• Professional Growth: Fully funded TPI (IRPM) and RICS accreditation.
