Job Description
Are you an MRICS-qualified Asset Manager who wants to own your assets end-to-end rather than a slice of someone else’s portfolio? Do you thrive in a privately-owned business with the balance sheet to back its own deals?
Hop To Talent are supporting a privately-owned commercial property developer and investor operating across the South of England, recruiting an Asset Manager on a 16 month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave from September 2026.
The portfolio spans industrial and logistics, offices and urban mixed-use schemes. The business runs a core portfolio of income-producing assets alongside an active portfolio where capital is recycled through development and value-add projects.
This is a broad, hands-on seat. You’ll take a defined set of assets and run them properly - business plans, lettings, landlord and tenant matters, refurbishments, and the day-to-day property management underneath it all.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
