Property Manager – Operations | Central Manchester | £50,000 – £55,000 | 4 days on site, 1 day WFH \n A leading premium residential property management company is expanding into Manchester, and we're looking for a Property Manager to be the founding hire for their Northern operation. \n \n The opportunity \n This is a rare chance to be the custodian of a brand-new city-centre operation. You'll take sole responsibility for a landmark high-rise residential development — a modern tower with extensive amenities including co-working spaces, a podcast studio, video editing suite and gym. Working from the on-site office alongside the developer, you'll be the face of the management service from day one. \n The company is well established in prime and super prime Central London residential management. This is their first Manchester instruction, with genuine ambition to grow the portfolio in the region — and a clear intention to review the successful candidate for a wider portfolio as it expands. \n \n What you'll do \n\n • Take full operational and strategic ownership of the building through mobilisation and into steady-state management\n, • Ensure compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022, LTA, LAFRA, RICS and all relevant legislation\n, • Manage contractor performance, SLAs and the Golden Thread records (Dwellant)\n, • Support budget preparation, service charge issuance, cost control and capex planning\n, • Lead the on-site team and deliver an exceptional resident experience\n, • Build and maintain relationships with the client, landlords, freeholders and stakeholders\n, • Report on KPIs, financials and site performance to senior management\n\n \n What we're looking for \n\n • Proven senior-level experience in professional leasehold residential property management\n, • Strong technical grounding in building compliance, health & safety and risk management\n, • A genuinely client-focused approach — you'll be embedded with the developer daily\n, • Confident communicator with strong conflict resolution skills and commercial awareness\n, • TPI Level 3 minimum, with TPI Level 4 achieved within 12 months of appointment\n, • RICS / MCIPS or similar desirable\n, • Experience with high-value property management contracts\n\n \n Who this suits \n This is for someone ambitious. You're not looking for a caretaker role — you want to build something, put your stamp on a new office, and grow with the business as the portfolio expands. Candidates from a pure BTR background may find the leasehold compliance requirement a step outside their experience; this role needs someone comfortable with the legal and regulatory framework of leasehold management. \n \n Next steps \n This is an urgent appointment and interviews are taking place now. Apply with your CV or contact Richard Hodges at Troika Recruitment for a confidential conversation. \n #PropertyManagement #Manchester #Leasehold #BuildingSafety #PropertyJobs #ResidentialProperty

\n \n Premium Food & Beverage Retail Group | North West \n \n Not every Operations Manager role is worth making a move for. This one is. \n We're recruiting on behalf of one of the UK's fastest-growing premium food and beverage retail brands, a business built on real craft, real care, and a genuine obsession with getting the details right. They're not slowing down either: new sites are opening at a serious pace, and the ambition behind the growth is real. \n \n They're not looking for a caretaker. They want a leader who can walk into a site, raise the energy in the room, and leave every person there sharper than when they arrived. As Operations Manager, you'll take ownership of an area of 10 to 12 sites and turn good into brilliant: developing leaders, elevating standards, and driving results that actually move the needle across people, product, customer, and commercial performance. \n \n This is a hands-on, out-in-the-business role, not a desk job. You'll be in sites, building real relationships, coaching managers up, and leaving every visit better than you found it. \n \n The Role \n\n • Turn good site managers into brilliant leaders, building a bench of talent this business can promote from for years to come\n, • Own operational excellence in every site you touch: production, quality, standards, availability, waste, all of it, done properly\n, • Make every guest experience genuinely count, using real customer insight to coach precision into every single visit\n, • Set the standard on safety, facilities, and audit readiness, and make new openings and refurbishments land smoothly\n, • Own your area's P&L like it's your own business: sales, profitability, labour, waste, forecasting\n, • Translate big-picture strategy into sharp, weekly priorities that site managers can actually run with\n\n \n What We're Looking For \n Multi-site operations management experience from pubs, restaurants, QSR, or coffee. You're commercially sharp and genuinely people-first, the kind of leader who's happiest out on the floor rather than stuck behind a desk. You thrive on autonomy, move fast, and get a real kick out of watching a team level up under your leadership. \n \n Why Join? \n Because this isn't just another Operations Manager role. It's a seat on a genuine growth story, a business scaling hard while somehow still holding onto the craft and care that built it. You'll get real autonomy, real influence, and the chance to shape how this business operates as it grows. If you're ready to stop maintaining and start raising the bar, this is it. \n \n
