This position would suit a commercially minded professional who enjoys being close to the detail, contributing to strategy, and seeing projects through from inception to completion.
The Opportunity
Reporting into a senior leadership team, you will take responsibility for the performance, optimisation and strategic direction of a portfolio of office and retail assets. The role offers meaningful autonomy, strong stakeholder exposure, and collaboration with both local and offshore teams.
You will be involved across the full asset lifecycle, from financial analysis and investor reporting through to leasing strategy, capital works and development feasibility.
Key Responsibilities
Asset Management
* Formulate and implement asset strategies to maximise asset and portfolio performance
* Prepare, manage and monitor annual budgets, reforecasting and cashflow

* Support procurement, tendering and management of consultants and contractors
* Assist with financial management and CAPEX delivery
* Provide support across the development lifecycle through to completion and handover
About You

Key requirements include:

* Experience in development management with a reputable office or retail landlord considered

Why This Role?
