The Company & Role
Harte Recruitment is working with a growing residential property business looking for a hands-on Lettings Manager to lead its front-line lettings operation.
This role needs more than a top individual biller. They’re looking for somebody who can lead, coach and develop people, understand where individuals need support and create a team that consistently performs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll also have genuine commercial ownership, driving office performance, improving conversion, winning landlords and helping grow the managed portfolio.
Property Management and maintenance are handled by a separate back-office function, allowing you to concentrate on lettings, leadership and growth.

- Genuine people-management, coaching and staff-development experience
- Strong residential lettings knowledge
- Commercially minded and comfortable taking ownership of performance
- Able to list and win new landlord instructions
- Confident driving conversion and team results
- Supportive, hands-on leadership style
- Able to identify individual strengths and development needs
- Motivated by sustainable growth rather than short-term wins
