Are you an asset manager looking for a hands on role across industrial, office and mixed use assets? Do you want a portfolio you can genuinely influence rather than a list of rent reviews to work through?
Hop To Talent are hiring an Asset Manager for a privately owned commercial developer and investor operating across the South of England. It's a maternity cover running to February 2027, covering an active portfolio of industrial and logistics, office and urban mixed use assets. The role is hands on and the autonomy is real - you own your assets end to end, from business plans and appraisals through to lettings, landlord and tenant matters and refurbishment works, and you can be as involved in a project as you want to be.
