About the Business

We're a UK-based property management company handling co-living and student houses across multiple cities. Over the past few months, day-to-day operations have fallen behind - things are working fine, but not properly tracked or organized.

We're now looking for someone experienced to step in, take charge and bring everything back under control - from payments to systems to people.

This is a short-term rebuild project, not a permanent property manager role.
The goal: by the end of 8 weeks, everything should be clean, visible and systemised.

What Needs Doing

You'll take full ownership of sorting and organizing all moving parts of the business - past and present -including:

Vendor payments & contracts - check what's pending, verify balances and bring everything up to date. Payment plans / rent collection - confirm who owes what, chase overdue payments, and reset proper rent flow. Council tax & utility accounts - review all accounts, ensure they're active, correct, and under control. Property management software / records - check what's being used, clean up data, and set a clear process for how information is stored and updated. Occupancy & lettings - confirm which rooms are occupied, vacant, or pending renewal, and organize all tenancy details clearly. Maintenance & house issues - audit outstanding repairs, close open jobs, and put a simple tracking system in place. Landlord communication - review all current landlords, identify unresolved issues, and bring reporting back to standard. Internal people / contractors - check who's doing what, fix overlaps or gaps, and create a basic accountability map. Other similar back-end duties.
In short you'll be the person who picks up everything that's loose, gets it back under control, and builds a structure so it stays that way.

What You'll Deliver

By the end of the 8 week project, we expect:

All payments, accounts, and property records up to date. Clear rent, maintenance, and occupancy tracking systems running smoothly. Updated list of all vendor, landlord, and tenant commitments. A clean dashboard/report showing what's working and what's still pending. Full documentation and checklist that a future property manager can take over easily.

What You Need to Bring

Real experience in UK property operations or management (student lets, co-living, lettings agency, etc.). Comfortable sorting things calmly. Confidence using property software, spreadsheets, and communication tools. The ability to work independently - no hand-holding, just regular updates. If something's broken, you say it, fix it and move on.

Why This Role Matters

If you're the kind of person who enjoys walking into disorganized setups, making sense of them, and leaving things running smoothly this project will be very satisfying.

You'll be paid properly and judged only by one thing: the results at the end

IMPORTANT: Only immediate starters.

Application question(s):

How many years of experience do you have in property or property management operations in the UK? Have you ever been responsible for organising or cleaning up a property business or portfolio that was disorganised or behind on operations (e.g. payments, maintenance, compliance)? Are you available to start immediately and work independently with minimal supervision? In your own words, how would you approach this and what would you need from business to start with?
