About the Role
Here at Retirement Villages Group, we are looking for an analytically minded and commercially focused Asset Manager to join our Asset Management team on an initial 9 month contract. Reporting to the Senior Asset Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the performance and optimisation of our portfolio of retirement villages. This is a varied role with exposure across asset management, development, commercial leasing, financial analysis and strategic projects. Working closely with teams across Finance, Sales, Operations, Development, Legal and our Villages, you will help identify opportunities to drive value, improve performance and support key commercial decisions.

Key responsibilities include supporting the delivery of RVG's asset management strategy across the retirement village portfolio, acting as the property lead for Asset Business Plans and coordinating lease transition initiatives including business cases, financial models, project plans, risk registers and reporting. You will monitor the buyback programme, providing clear reporting on stock levels, financial exposure, sales status, ageing, pricing, risks and action plans.

Additional duties include supporting commercial leasing activity such as leasing strategies, heads of terms, marketing information, commercial negotiations and the appointment of external advisers. You will also support prospective and live development projects by maintaining appraisals, monitoring budgets and spend, coordinating planning and consent activities and managing stakeholder relationships. Further responsibilities include supporting acquisition, disposal, redevelopment, leasing and other strategic property projects as required.

Building strong relationships across Finance, Sales, Operations, Legal, Development and Property teams is essential, as is preparing concise and commercially focused reporting for senior management, Executive and Board audiences. You will contribute to the continuous improvement of processes, reporting and governance across the Asset Management function.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience across a diverse property portfolio and play a hands-on role in delivering asset management and strategic initiatives.

Experience
Around 3 to 5 years' experience in a relevant asset management, property, development, commercial property or real estate role. Strong commercial and financial analysis skills, with advanced Excel capability. Experience of working with financial models, business cases, budgets and commercial reporting.

About you
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to turn complex information into clear recommendations and actions. Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work across multiple teams and projects. The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and take ownership of initiatives. A collaborative, proactive and commercially curious approach. Knowledge of commercial leasing and lease management would be advantageous.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications stated, but relevant property or asset management qualifications would be beneficial.
