Your pathway from site operations into Asset Management
Fancy trading day-to-day site management for a role with a genuine career trajectory into Asset Management?
I'm working with a charitable operator delivering high-quality, affordable homes at Intermediate Market Rent — housing people can actually afford, professionally managed, below full market rent. They're hiring an experienced operator to take full ownership of a new asset.
Why this one's different
You'll start by running the asset day-to-day — residents, managing agents, contractors, compliance, service charges, the lot. But this isn't a "GM for life" role. As you settle in, you'll work increasingly closely with the Asset Management team, getting real exposure to financial reporting, investment decisions and long-term strategy. It's a proper stepping stone, not just a job title change.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Owning operational performance across the asset — compliance, maintenance, resident experience
- Holding the managing agent and on-site team accountable for delivery
- Managing voids, service charge budgets and supplier relationships
- Leading resident engagement and driving up satisfaction
- Getting stuck into asset performance, financial analysis and long-term planning alongside the AM team
- Progressively taking on more Asset Management responsibility as you grow into it

The bigger picture
