A growing portfolio, serious investment into systems and people, and a business that’s building properly, not patching gaps.

Harte Recruitment is working with a Manchester-based property business entering its next phase of growth. With an established and sizeable managed portfolio already in place, they are now looking to appoint a Director of Property Management to bring structure, leadership, and consistency across the department.

This is not a “keep things ticking” role. It’s about taking ownership of a functioning operation and elevating it, ensuring it is commercially sound, compliant, and built to scale.

This Director of Property Management opportunity will suit a senior Property Manager, Team Leader ready for a step up, or an existing Head of Property Management looking for a platform with more influence and long-term growth.

• Up to £65,000 basic plus bonus, all in package £70,000
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Monday – Thursday 09:00 – 17:30

• First Friday of every month: 09:00 – 13:00
• Senior-level role with real influence over departmental performance and direction
• Long-term progression aligned with business growth

The Director of Property Management Role

This is about leadership, structure, and accountability — not managing a personal diary of properties.

• Oversee the full property management function through an established management layer
• Structure the department to ensure it can support ongoing growth without operational strain
• Take ownership of systems and reporting, ensuring platforms are used correctly and data is accurate
• Ensure full compliance across the portfolio (Gas Safety, EICR, EPC, deposit protection, licensing) and remain ahead of legislative changes
• Oversee onboarding of new properties, particularly developments transitioning into management
• Act as the senior escalation point for landlord, tenant, and operational issues
• Maintain and strengthen relationships with key landlords and investors
• Monitor arrears performance and ensure processes are followed and improved where required
• Identify inefficiencies and implement operational improvements across the department

The Person

You’ll have:

• Senior experience within Property Management or Lettings
• Experience managing or leading teams, directly or through managers
• Arla qualified or equivalent, bringing a strong understanding of compliance and current legislation
• Experience using property management systems (e.g. Reapit or similar)
• A track record of improving processes and driving operational standards

You’ll be:

• Commercially aware, understanding how property management supports wider business performance
• Highly organised, able to build structure and clarity across a department
• Calm and credible when handling escalations
• Decisive, with the ability to resolve issues quickly and effectively
