About the Role
Every commercial property portfolio tells a story. Some are managed to preserve value. Some exist simply to generate income. The most interesting portfolios shape places, unlock development and create opportunities that last for generations.
That is exactly what sits ahead at Be First.
As the regeneration company wholly owned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Be First has become one of London's most ambitious delivery organisations. With a major programme of housing, regeneration and commercial investment underway, the organisation is helping transform one of the capital's fastest changing boroughs while delivering lasting social and economic value for local communities.
An opportunity has arisen for an exceptional Head of Asset Management to build and lead a strategic commercial asset management function that will play a central role in that transformation.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and lead a strategic commercial asset management function.
- Establish the strategic framework that guides investment decisions across the portfolio.
- Identify opportunities to improve performance, unlock sites for regeneration and maximise long term value for the organisation and the Council.
- Build the governance, reporting and strategic planning needed to ensure decisions are informed, consistent and commercially robust.
- Influence investment priorities for years to come.
