About the Role
Our client is looking for an experienced, driven and personable Lettings & asset manager to join our growing team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys winning new business while delivering exceptional property management and customer service.
You will be responsible for the entire lettings journey, from securing new instructions and marketing properties through to managing tenancies and building long-term landlord relationships.
This isn't a standard lettings negotiator or property management role.
We're looking for someone who wants to help build a department rather than simply work within one. The right person will have the opportunity to share in that success through a generous profit-share structure, so we're looking for someone who thinks like an owner, not just an employee.
Organisation is absolutely key. You'll need exceptional planning and time management skills, be able to prioritise multiple tasks without dropping the ball, and consistently deliver on commitments. You'll remain calm under pressure, solve problems proactively, and never lose sight of what needs to happen next.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in creating systems, improving processes and delivering an outstanding experience for landlords, tenants and colleagues alike. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy taking responsibility and want to play a genuine part in growing something special, we'd love to hear from you.
