SENIOR PROPERTY MANAGER
- Rendall & Rittner • Competitive • Hybrid - London (Vauxhall)
ROLE OVERVIEW
You will take the helm of two prestigious, large and complex residential schemes with a full complement of amenities, acting as a trusted partner to a key developer and an anchor point for residents, on-site teams and stakeholders. These are flagship communities with exacting standards and the visibility to match your stewardship will set the tone for service quality, safety and long-term asset value.
This is a hybrid role designed around meaningful presence and impact: you will spend two days each week on-site across the schemes, building relationships, coaching teams and making data led decisions in person. You will also attend our head office in Vauxhall one day each month to collaborate with central functions and share best practice that elevates performance across the wider Odevo Group.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
Most days you will be leading the end-to-end management of your schemes: translating strategy into clear plans, directing on-site teams, managing budgets and service charge performance, and ensuring statutory and building safety compliance. You will be the point person for residents, the developer and contractors—resolving issues quickly, communicating clearly and proactively improving the service through consistent follow-up and continuous improvement.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Residents and client stakeholders describe a consistently outstanding service experience, with issues resolved promptly and transparently.
- Budgets are accurate and well-managed, with variances explained, efficiencies identified and long-term plans funded and agreed.
- Building and life safety compliance is watertight, with robust records, timely inspections and proactive risk mitigation embedded on-site.
- On-site teams are engaged, well-supported and delivering to clear standards, with measurable improvements in service delivery.
- Major works, defects and warranty items are planned and executed with minimal disruption, clear communication and strong contractor control.
- Developer and supplier relationships are collaborative and accountable, with performance tracked and continuous improvement delivered.
HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME
- Visiting both schemes weekly to engage with residents, coach site teams and verify standards across amenities and common areas.
- Managing service charge budgets, reporting on financial performance and forecasting with precision and clarity.
- Driving statutory and building safety compliance, completing audits, reviewing logs and closing actions promptly.
- Overseeing contracts and supplier performance, tendering where needed and ensuring value without compromising quality.
- Planning and delivering maintenance and major works programmes, including defect and warranty management with the developer.
- Communicating regularly with residents, the client and internal colleagues, providing updates, minutes and action tracking.
WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
- You are a people-focused leader who blends commercial acumen with empathy, accountability and a calm, solution-minded approach.
- You thrive in complex, high-profile environments and enjoy balancing strategic thinking with hands-on, on-site presence.
- You communicate clearly and diplomatically, earning trust with clients, residents and contractors alike.
- You are organised and data-driven, prioritising effectively and following through on actions to completion.
- You bring a continuous improvement mindset and a passion for raising standards across teams and services.
