This requires a leader with confidence, credibility, emotional intelligence and the commercial judgement to navigate a broad range of stakeholders and competing priorities.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the operational performance and day-to-day delivery of a growing, multi-site London accommodation portfolio.
• Develop and empower the operational management team, creating clear accountability, strong leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
• Build scalable processes, systems and performance measures to support continued business growth.
• Drive operational efficiency, cost control and commercial performance through effective planning, analysis and data-led decision-making.
• Oversee external housekeeping, maintenance and property service partners, ensuring quality, capacity, accountability and value for money.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with property owners, landlords, suppliers and a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders.
• Lead operational change initiatives, process improvements and the successful mobilisation of new accommodation units.
• Work closely with the COO and wider leadership team to translate commercial growth plans into effective operational delivery.
• Maintain high standards of property presentation, compliance, service delivery and operational risk management.

About You

You'll be an established senior operational leader, potentially already operating at Director level or working as a Head of Operations or Regional Operations Manager within a larger, complex organisation.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading multi-site operations within accommodation, property services, hospitality, facilities management or a similarly complex service-led environment.
• A proven track record of leading through managers, developing teams and overseeing outsourced service providers.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with everyone from frontline operational teams to senior executives and high-value property owners.
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, including cost management, budgeting, supplier performance and operational improvement.
• A data-driven approach to planning, problem-solving and decision-making.
• Experience supporting business growth, introducing operational structure and leading change.
• Strong project management, organisational and prioritisation skills.
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with practical, hands-on leadership.
• The confidence, professionalism and sound judgement to represent the business at a senior level.
• Experience within serviced accommodation or specialist housing would be advantageous, but we're equally interested in candidates from adjacent sectors who can demonstrate the right scale and complexity of operational leadership.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an established business at an important stage in its development.

With an expanding London operation, ambitious growth plans and significant scope to influence operational strategy, you'll have the opportunity to shape the business's future, strengthen management capability and build the infrastructure required for continued success.
