This is a senior leadership opportunity within a business recognised for its long-term investment approach, quality of assets and commitment to operational excellence.

As part of the senior leadership team, the position offers the opportunity to influence wider estate strategy, shape operational investment and work closely with senior stakeholders across a major property business. The package is particularly attractive, combining a competitive salary with substantial bonus potential, enhanced pension contributions, share schemes and comprehensive benefits, alongside long-term career development opportunities whilst this role works on a hybrid pattern of 4 days on-site, 1 from home per week.
