Senior Property and Workplace Manager

Senior Property & Workplace Manager

Based Manchester OR Leeds / Northern UK Portfolio | £65,000 - £80,000 (+ package) DOE | Regional Travel (6 sites approx. 1500 staff)

We’re partnering with a highly successful, people-focused technology business to find a Senior Property & Workplace Manager who can bring together the commercial, technical and human sides of property.

This is a broad leadership role, but one thing is essential: you need to know corporate real estate properly.

Real estate may represent less than 40% of the day-to-day workload, but the technical competency behind it is fundamental. You’ll need strong experience across leases, rent reviews, breaks, acquisitions, disposals, re-gears and property searches , alongside the ability to lead a high-performing workplace function.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take senior responsibility for a regional property and workplace portfolio across locations including Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Newcastle and Dublin , while leading a team of six.

Your remit will include:

• Managing lease events, renewals, rent reviews, breaks, exits and disposals
• Supporting searches, acquisitions and new office openings
• Managing the full CRE transaction lifecycle, including LOIs, Agreements for Lease and lease documentation
• Working with legal, property and construction consultants
• Supporting construction procurement, tendering and contractor appointments
• Applying a practical understanding of IFRS 16
• Leading workplace strategy and performance across the portfolio
• Managing senior stakeholders and balancing commercial priorities with workplace needs
• Overseeing suppliers and FM performance without being buried in day-to-day PPM activity

What we’re looking for

You’ll ideally come from a corporate real estate, occupier property or combined Property & Workplace background , with:

• Strong commercial lease and CRE transaction experience
• Knowledge of landlord and tenant matters
• Experience across acquisitions, disposals, re-gears, rent reviews and breaks
• Understanding of IFRS 16
• Experience managing consultants, contractors and property projects
• Strong commercial and financial awareness
• Experience leading and developing a team
• Confidence working with demanding senior stakeholders

MRICS, IWFM or similar qualifications would be useful, but strong technical property experience matters more.

Why join?

This is a visible role within a fast-moving technology business where you’ll have genuine influence across both corporate real estate and workplace strategy .

You’ll be joining an established team, working across an evolving property portfolio, with real scope to progress rather than sit in the same role for the next five years.

If you know your way around a lease transaction as comfortably as you do a senior stakeholder meeting, this could be a brilliant next move.
