Full job descriptionOur 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.

The Opportunity This is not a traditional Lettings Manager role.

Our client is looking for someone who wants to be more than just a manager.
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.

Key Responsibilities *Launch, develop, and grow the lettings department.
*Generate new landlord instructions and build a managed portfolio.
*Conduct market appraisals and secure new business opportunities.
*Build strong relationships with landlords, investors, developers, and local businesses.
*Establish the agency’s presence within the Barnes and wider South West London market.

*Manage applicants, viewings, negotiations, and tenancy agreements.
*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.
The Ideal Candidate Our client is looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial property professional who is excited by the prospect of building a successful lettings business.
You will have:
*Proven experience within residential lettings.
*Experience as a Lettings Manager, Assistant Lettings Manager, Senior Lettings Negotiator, or Business Development Manager.
*A strong track record of winning instructions and generating new business.
*Excellent knowledge of the South West London lettings market.
*Strong relationship-building and networking skills.
*A commercially focused and self-motivated approach.
*Excellent communication and negotiation abilities.
*The confidence to work autonomously and take ownership of results.
*A genuine desire to contribute to the growth of a business.
*Full UK driving licence.
What’s on Offer? *Opportunity to build and shape a lettings department from the ground up.
*Significant autonomy and influence within the business.
*Uncapped commission and excellent earning potential.
*Direct access to senior leadership and decision-makers.
*Fast-track career progression as the company expands.
