About the Role
Residential Portfolio Manager
Weybridge | office based with 1 day working from home if preferred.
A brilliant opportunity for an experienced Residential Property Manager to step into a client-side, portfolio-level role, managing a diverse residential portfolio of approx. 350 units across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and London.
