Lettings Manager in Dukinfield

This is an opportunity to join a business with clear ambitions and play a central role in building a scalable, modern property management operation in Greater Manchester. If you're experienced, driven, and want to be part of a journey to 1,000+ managed properties, we'd love to hear from you.

We are an ambitious independent estate agency based in Tameside, and we’re looking for a knowledgeable and experienced Lettings Manager to take ownership of our lettings and property management department. With a current portfolio of 150 fully managed properties across Greater Manchester and Merseyside, we have clear plans to grow the business to 1,000+ managed properties, and this role will play a key part in achieving that.

What We Offer

• A key role within an ambitious and growing business
• The opportunity to build and develop a lettings department
• Clear progression into a more senior leadership position
• Real input into business strategy, marketing, and growth
• A supportive and forward-thinking working environment
• Salary: £30,000 - £38,000 per annum, dependent on experience

The Role

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will be responsible for managing and developing our lettings and property management function. You will report directly to the Estate Agency Manager and work collaboratively across the wider business to ensure high standards, strong performance, and continued growth. Initially, you will be heavily involved in the day-to-day management of the portfolio, taking ownership of operations, maintenance, compliance, and landlord relationships. As the business grows, you will be expected to build, recruit, and manage your own team, developing into a more senior leadership role within the company. You will also have access to a shared viewer resource who supports across the business. While they will assist where needed, they are not solely under the direction of this role, so flexibility and a hands-on approach is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing the full lettings and property management process
• Overseeing tenancy progression, compliance, and landlord/tenant relations
• Managing property maintenance and repairs across the portfolio
• Liaising with our in-house maintenance company to ensure works are completed to a high standard and within appropriate timeframes
• Supporting with property visits when required (inspections, viewings, etc.)
• Using and optimising systems such as Alto, Rightmove, Inventory Base, and Fixflo
• Assisting with marketing initiatives and helping to present and promote the business to attract new landlords
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, systems, and processes
• Actively contributing to business growth and landlord acquisition
• Building, recruiting, and managing the lettings team as the business grows
• Maintaining strong relationships with landlords and delivering excellent service

About You

We’re looking for someone who is experienced, organised, and commercially aware, with the confidence to lead and the ability to be hands-on. You’ll be:

• Experienced in residential lettings and property management
• Knowledgeable in compliance requirements, including a clear understanding of AML
• Confident managing a portfolio and dealing with landlords and tenants
• Experienced in coordinating maintenance and working with contractors
• Comfortable using systems such as Alto, Rightmove, Inventory Base, and Fixflo
• A strong communicator - firm when needed, but approachable and professional
• Proactive and forward-thinking, with ideas to help grow the business
• Organised, adaptable, and willing to be involved in all aspects of the role
• Motivated by progression and excited to grow into a more senior position
• A driver with a full UK driving licence and access to their own vehicle
