Property portfolio manager
Take responsibility for a large, mixed portfolio across corporate, retail and technical sites. This role needs someone confident with negotiations, commercially sharp, and comfortable juggling a high volume of property matters without dropping the ball.
You'll be the person making sure sites stay operational, leases stay under control, and costs stay sensible.
What the role involves
* Managing day‑to‑day property matters across a mix of corporate, retail and network/technical sites.
* Leading lease renewals, rent reviews, assignments, decommissioning and make‑good work.
* Renegotiating commercial terms to reduce OPEX, strengthen tenure and improve site usability.
* Identifying at‑risk sites early and putting a plan in place to keep things stable.
* Building solid relationships with landlords, developers, councils and other external partners.
* Working with internal teams (operations, finance, deployment, etc.) to keep property activity aligned and progressing.
* Managing acquisitions and disposals, including due diligence and documentation.
* Liaising with legal providers to get tenure documents drafted and finalised on time.
* Checking outgoings, valuations and statutory charges for accuracy.
* Contributing to budgets, forecasting and planning cycles.
What you'd need to bring
* 10+ years managing large property portfolios (corporate, retail or technical).
* Strong negotiation experience and the ability to hold your ground commercially.
* Deep experience with lease administration, property transactions and financial management.
* Ability to handle multiple moving parts and keep things organised.
* Clear communicator who can work well with landlords, senior stakeholders and internal teams.
* Good understanding of property law, legislation and commercial contracts.
* Comfortable using Microsoft Office; SAP/REFX or similar systems is a bonus.
* Experience in technical network property (mobile or fixed) is a big plus, but not a must.
Why the role matters
This person will keep the property portfolio running smoothly, secure long‑term tenure, and help drive meaningful cost savings. They'll make sure operational teams have the properties and agreements they need to deliver without interruptions.
