Lettings Manager (Barnes) - #2096586

Our client is an exciting and ambitious new estate agency building in the highly sought-after Barnes market. Backed by experienced industry professionals and a clear growth strategy, they are now seeking an entrepreneurial Lettings Manager to continue the growth of their lettings operation.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious lettings professional to play a pivotal role in building a business from the ground up. Rather than inheriting an existing department, you will have the autonomy, support, and platform to create something genuinely special.

The successful candidate will be instrumental in winning instructions, building a landlord portfolio, developing local market presence, and shaping the future success of the business.

They are seeking a commercially minded individual who can act as the driving force behind the lettings side of the business and become a key member of the leadership team as the company grows.

You will be responsible for developing new business opportunities, establishing long-term landlord relationships, growing market share, and creating the foundations for a high-performing lettings department.

For the right individual, this role offers genuine career progression and the opportunity to influence the strategic direction of a growing agency.

• Generate new landlord instructions and build a managed portfolio.

• Develop and implement local business development strategies.
• Work closely with senior leadership on growth plans and business objectives.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant lettings legislation and industry regulations.
• Recruit, train, and develop future team members as the business expands.

You will have:

• Proven experience within residential lettings.

• A commercially focused and self-motivated approach.
• Excellent communication and negotiation abilities.

• Uncapped commission and excellent earning potential.
• Direct access to senior leadership and decision-makers.
