Are you a passionate leader with a proven track record in Build to Rent (BTR), Co-living, or PBSA? We're looking for a General Manager to take the reins of a brand-new BTR development in West London, overseeing the successful mobilisation and day-to-day operations of a vibrant residential community.



Key Responsibilities:

  • Strong understanding of leasing, property operations, and resident engagement.

  • Proven ability to manage teams, budgets, and third-party contractors.

  • Excellent organisational, communication, and leadership skills.

  • Mobilisation experience is highly advantageous.
