Asset Manager - Birmingham
Are you a driven and commercially minded real estate professional ready to take ownership of a high-quality property portfolio? We are looking for an Asset Manager to join our regional office in Birmingham. You will become part of a dynamic team responsible for strengthening and expanding Mileway’s position as the market leader in last-mile logistics real estate.
You will take ownership of the asset management strategy for a portfolio of properties, driving leasing activity, improving financial performance and identifying opportunities to create long-term value. Working closely with colleagues across Asset Management, Property Management, Development and Finance, you will help deliver our regional business plans while building strong relationships with occupiers, advisers and other stakeholders.
Working at Mileway
We offer an opportunity you simply won’t find anywhere else. Launched in 2019, Mileway has rapidly grown into Europe’s leader in last-mile logistics real estate, with a team of over 550 across more than twenty offices in 11 countries. From the start, Mileway set out to be a different kind of real estate company, with a cloud-based IT infrastructure and a team that combines local expertise with the pooled strengths of a pan-European presence.
Our culture is fast-paced and highly international, with team members from more than 50 countries, bringing diverse perspectives and a “can-do” attitude to everything we do. While we have already achieved a lot, we’re only just getting started – our purpose is to be Europe’s leading provider of last mile logistics real estate, enabling businesses to thrive, driving sustainability forward, and shaping the cities of tomorrow. To get there, we live by our values: Drive, Trust, Grow, Together.
At Mileway, we believe company growth comes from supporting the growth of our combined capabilities. That's why we offer an in-house learning & development programme where personal, professional, and business development go hand in hand, helping you carve out your own unique career path. For those working towards Chartered Surveyor status, we offer a clear pathway to RICS Chartered status through the APC, with structured support, mentoring, and guidance from experienced colleagues. You'll be based in our Birmingham office. While we embrace a flexible approach to work, our policy requires working from the office three days a week. To support this, we provide a state-of-the-art technology package to keep you connected at all times.
