You will work closely with a range of blue-chip tenants, helping to deliver an exceptional occupier experience while ensuring the property operates smoothly and consistently maintains the highest standards.

The role will also have a strong focus on tenant engagement, including supporting the delivery of on-site events and initiatives designed to create an engaging and high-quality workplace environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Supporting the Building Manager with the day-to-day operational management of a 300,000+ sq. ft. commercial property

  • Acting as a key point of contact for occupiers and developing strong relationships with blue-chip tenants

  • Ensuring an excellent standard of customer service and occupier experience throughout the building

  • Overseeing contractors and service partners and monitoring standards of service delivery

  • Working closely with the Technical Services Manager on operational and building services matters

  • Supporting health & safety, compliance and building management procedures

  • Monitoring the presentation and operation of front-of-house and common areas

  • Responding to occupier requests and ensuring issues are managed through to resolution

  • Supporting the management and delivery of planned works and operational projects

  • Identifying opportunities to enhance the occupier experience and improve the day-to-day operation of the asset

  • Working collaboratively with the wider on-site team to maintain a best-in-class commercial environment

The Candidate

The successful candidate will have previous experience within the operational management of a high-quality commercial property, ideally within a large multi-occupied office environment.

You will need to be highly personable and comfortable developing relationships with senior stakeholders and blue-chip occupiers, while also having a strong understanding of the operational requirements of a major commercial building.

A proactive approach, excellent communication skills and a genuine focus on customer service and occupier experience will be essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading name within the property industry and become part of a dedicated on-site team responsible for a significant City of London asset.
