About the Role

Cobalt is recruiting a Senior Block Manager to take ownership of a London residential portfolio for an established property management organisation.

Offering a salary of up to £60,000 and a fully remote working arrangement, this opportunity combines home working with autonomy over a varied portfolio. Regular site attendance across London is required, including occasional attendance at short notice.

The organisation

Our client is an established residential property management organisation responsible for a varied London portfolio encompassing residential blocks, mixed-use schemes, RMC and RTM structures and higher-rise buildings.

The business is looking for a Property Manager who can take genuine ownership of their portfolio, providing clients and residents with a consistent service while maintaining control of financial, compliance and operational matters.

The role and responsibilities

As Property Manager, you will manage a geographically dispersed London portfolio while working closely with senior leadership.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Taking day-to-day ownership of a portfolio of residential blocks and mixed-use developments.

* Preparing service charge budgets, monitoring expenditure and identifying potential funding issues.

* Managing RMC and RTM relationships and communicating effectively with directors and leaseholders.

* Maintaining oversight of compliance, building safety and fire-safety actions across the portfolio.

* Managing contractors and inspecting works and standards on site where required.

* Identifying operational, financial or compliance risks early and presenting appropriate solutions.

* Providing structured updates to senior leadership and reducing unnecessary operational escalations.

* Attending developments across London when building safety, contractor, client or operational matters require an on-site presence.

The skills needed and requirements

To be considered for this Property Manager opportunity, you will need:

* ATPI or MPTI qualification.

* Strong working knowledge of London residential block management.

* Experience preparing and managing service charge budgets and forecasts.

* Working knowledge of RMC and RTM governance.

* Working knowledge of building safety, fire safety, contractor management and residential compliance.

* Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work confidently with directors, leaseholders and contractors.

* A full UK driving licence and access to a car for business travel.

Experience managing higher-rise buildings, major works, remediation projects or live FRA actions would be beneficial but isn't essential.

This is an opportunity for a Property Manager who wants the flexibility of a fully remote/home-based position while retaining ownership and visibility across a London portfolio.

With a salary of up to £60,000, applications are expected to move quickly. Apply now to be considered, with interviews ongoing.

Due to the volume of applications received, if you don't hear back from us, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

If you require any adjustments or additional support during the recruitment process for any reason whatsoever, please let your Cobalt consultant know.
