Office Location: 13 Crescent Place, Chelsea, SW3 2EA

Working Hours: 9am - 6pm, Monday - Friday (1 day per week wfh after 6 weeks)

Purpose of the position: Our team is looking for an enthusiastic, proactive, highly organised, and committed individual to join our successful and fast-evolving Property Management department. In this strategic Asset Manager role, you will work closely with Nicole and the team to ensure that our landlords receive exceptional long-term care, compliance assurance, and value driven asset planning. This department plays a vital role in the business.

• Data-driven decision-maker with the ability to assess property performance trends.
• Strategic and Organised Thinker: You will be at the heart of our landlords' long-term investment decisions, so structure, planning, and forward-thinking are second nature to you. You thrive on building clear action plans, keeping on top of compliance, and never letting a certificate or repair slip through the cracks.
• Clear, Calm Communicator: As the go-to for both landlords and tenants often with high expectations, your ability to listen carefully, explain clearly, and manage emotions under pressure is essential. You will represent tlc with warmth, professionalism, and confidence at all times.
• Collaborative but Accountable: We work as a team, but we value people who take ownership. You will collaborate closely with colleagues, but also take full responsibility for the service and performance of your own portfolio.

• Inquisitive and Tenacious Problem Solver: Property management is about joining the dots. Whether it is tracing the source of a leak, handling a delicate tenant issue, or finding ROI for a refurbishment, curiosity, thoroughness, and follow-through are your trademarks. You do not let go of a problem until it is fixed properly.
