Responsibilities
- Support the Divisional Portfolio & Asset Manager in managing lease events — including preparation of strategy options, comparable research, option development and coordination of external advisers.
- Maintain and update the divisional 18–24 month forward plan for lease events and estate actions, ensuring information is current, dependencies are flagged and next steps are clear.
- Prepare comparables, market evidence and lease summaries to support negotiation strategy and decision-making packs.
- Support the identification and progression of re-gear opportunities, including early engagement preparation, pack development and coordination of information for the DPM.
- Assist with dilapidations at divisional level — supporting schedules of condition at new lettings, gathering liability information ahead of lease events and feeding into the Estates Manager's dilapidations register.
- Coordinate with external agents and advisers under the DPM's direction — managing information requests, chasing progress and ensuring briefs are followed.
- Undertake a proportion of the lease events negotiations in house themselves as well as through managing agents.
- Undertake site inspections to support lease strategy, consent applications, repair strategy and project scoping.
- Support portfolio optimisation activity, including preparation of cluster review inputs (analysis to support estate decision making), nine-box evidence (portfolio performance and potential assessment) and estate action tracking.
- Assist with divisional estate management issues, liaising with the Estates Management Team where required.
- Manage incoming reactive estates issues as mini-projects — coordinating appropriate action on matters such as repair issues, health and safety risks, store continuity and landlord-related matters to help keep stores safe, compliant and operational.
- Prepare internal documentation in a clear, decision-ready format and maintain a clear and well-documented audit trail for Legal execution.
- Escalate where appropriate any identified key risks to Line Manager, alongside proposed actions for mitigation
