I’m working with a privately owned international real estate investor that is looking to appoint an experienced Asset Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of out-of-town retail parks, retail warehousing and trade counters.
This is a high-impact opportunity within a lean, entrepreneurial environment, offering genuine autonomy and the opportunity to directly influence both income and capital growth across the portfolio.
The role will focus on:
- Developing and executing asset-level business plans
- Leading leasing strategy, including rent reviews, renewals, regears and new lettings
- Driving value through repositioning, refurbishment, development, acquisitions and disposals
- Managing asset performance, budgets, service providers and key occupier relationships
- Supporting investment decisions through financial analysis, reporting and market insight
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
