The successful candidate will operate comfortably at two levels: providing strategic leadership and direction on facilities management across the portfolio while also being willing and able to become directly involved in day-to-day operational issues when required.
We are looking for someone who can develop strategy, challenge existing ways of working, improve systems and standards and provide senior-level advice, but who is equally comfortable dealing with a contractor, investigating an operational problem, visiting a property or taking ownership of an urgent issue.
Exciting opportunity for a highly motivated senior individual looking to elevate themselves into the next step in their career.

Statutory Compliance and Risk
Provide leadership and oversight of property-related statutory compliance across the portfolio.

Work closely with property surveyors and the finance team in the preparation, planning and management of service charge budgets.

Lead the procurement, appointment and performance management of key FM contractors and suppliers.
