The role

We are seeking an experienced and highly professional Building Manager & Front of House (FOH) to take full-time responsibility for a flagship Central London building, with additional virtual oversight of a secondary building as required.

What you'll do

This is a client-facing, hands-on role requiring exceptional customer service, strong tenant engagement skills, and confidence in contractor management. A solid understanding of building systems and compliance requirements is also important.

More importantly, we're looking for someone who is proactive, resilient and comfortable working independently. This is a hands-on role where you'll need to take ownership, identify issues and find practical solutions rather than waiting for direction.

You'll need to be proactive and comfortable taking initiative. There won't always be a handbook or set process for every situation, so we're looking for someone who can use their judgement, find solutions and make things happen without needing to be told what to do at every step.

  • Act as the primary front-of-house presence, delivering an exceptional customer and tenant experience at all times
  • Build strong, professional relationships with occupiers, visitors, and stakeholders
  • Manage tenant engagement, communications, and day-to-day enquiries efficiently and professionally
  • Represent the building to the highest standard, ensuring a welcoming and well-managed environment
  • Take full operational responsibility for the primary building, ensuring smooth day-to-day performance
  • Maintain oversight of a secondary building remotely, coordinating remedial actions when issues arise
  • Monitor building condition and proactively identify maintenance or operational issues
  • Manage and oversee contractors on-site, ensuring works are completed safely, on time, and to specification
  • Coordinate reactive and planned maintenance activities
  • Ensure all works comply with health & safety requirements and site procedures
  • CCTV systems
  • Intruder alarms
  • Fire alarm systems
  • Intercom and access control systems
  • Monitor system performance, escalate faults, and liaise with specialist contractors where required
  • Support compliance activities, inspections, and statutory checks
  • Promote a safe working environment for occupiers, visitors, and contractors
  • Ensure site procedures, permits, and risk assessments are followed
  • Act promptly on any health & safety issues or incidents

Key Responsibilities:

Professionalism | We consistently seek to exceed expectations. Our people can express themselves fully while upholding the highest standards of conduct, competence, and integrity.

Ownership | Every asset, challenge, and opportunity is treated as our own. We deliver all real estate services in-house - never outsourcing responsibility, accountability, or blame.

Entrepreneurialism | We challenge convention and champion imaginative solutions. Rigorous debate is encouraged, and everyone is empowered to make decisions that elevate performance.

Meritocracy | Results, hard work, and strong ideas matter more than age, tenure, or titles. We are a diverse team that collaborates openly so each person can reach their full potential.

Action This Day | We do not defer or delay. Anything that can be done today, is done today.
