Key priorities as our Head of Asset Management 

• As a key member of our senior management team, you’ll provide strong, clear and expert leadership across our Asset Management function, promoting a culture of performance, transparency and excellence - casting a positive shadow.  
• Delivery of our Asset Management strategic plan, working with a collectively commercial focus to drive asset performance and growth.   
• Advising colleagues, our Executive Team and Board on all asset investment/divestment decisions and being a critical friend for decision making from acquiring assets to day-to-day property management.   
• Supporting the establishment of a robust planned maintenance plan across all property and tenure types, reducing reactive maintenance spend.   
• Ensuring the performance of our asset portfolio, that it is well governed, meets regulatory and legal requirements with robust reporting and evaluation.

You bring  

• Substantial asset and portfolio management experience across a range of residential tenures (rented and leasehold) and property types (flatted, housing and mixed use).  You have extensive knowledge of landlord and tenant legislation.
