SENIOR ASSET MANAGER - COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
Chichester - 4 Days Office / 1 Day Home - Contract Until February 2027 - Senior Seat on an Active South Coast Portfolio
£80,000 - £100,000 + 10% discretionary bonus
Are you a senior asset manager who can take a live portfolio off someone's desk and run it your way? Do you want the autonomy to make the call, rather than write the paper so somebody else can make it?
Hop To Talent are hiring a Senior Asset Manager for a privately owned commercial developer and investor operating across the South of England. It's a contract running to February 2027, across an active portfolio of industrial and logistics, office and urban mixed use assets.
This is a senior seat and it's pitched that way deliberately. The business wants someone who can arrive, take the workload off the team and make commercial decisions without being walked through them. You'll set the strategy on your assets, own the appraisals that sit behind it, and present directly to the CEO, the board and JV partners.
Day to day property management sits with external managing agents, so your time goes on value rather than admin. Expectations are high and you'll be running several work streams at once.
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.
WISH LIST
- Client side commercial asset management across industrial and offices, at a level where you've owned assets outright
- Strong appraisal and valuation skills - you can point to deals where you've added value or protected it, and show the numbers behind them
- Credible with a board and with JV partners, and willing to challenge rather than just report
THE ROLE
- Own a portfolio of commercial assets outright and set the strategy for each one
- Write the annual asset business plans, make the capex case and forecast leasing events
- Build and own the appraisals in Argus Enterprise, and stand behind the numbers in the room
- Drive value add initiatives across the portfolio, from new income streams to repositioning
- Lead the letting strategy on vacant space and negotiate the deals that matter
- Take landlord and tenant matters end to end: regears, variations, assignments, renewals, expiries, dilapidations and rent reviews
- Appoint, direct and hold to account external surveyors, agents, consultants and managing agents
- Lead planning applications and refurbishment projects through to completion
- Take your assets through the biannual valuation process
- Present asset management updates directly to the CEO, the board and JV partners
- Set the ESG and sustainability position for your assets and own health and safety compliance across them
