Job Description
Assistant Manager - Premium Co-Living Residence
Central Manchester
32,000 - 36,000 + Performance Bonus
We're recruiting an Assistant Manager for a standout premium brand redefining modern renting in central Manchester.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who brings great energy, sharp standards and real ownership of both people and place. You'll be confident making day-to-day decisions, leading by example, and ensuring the building runs beautifully - while still being approachable, grounded and on the same wavelength as the residents you serve.
If you come from hotels, hospitality, PBSA, BTR, residential or customer-led property and care deeply about service, presentation and detail, this is a brilliant next step.
The Role
Supporting the General Manager, you'll help oversee the day-to-day operation of a large, design-led building with extensive amenities. You'll lead concierge and housekeeping teams, manage standards across the building, and play a key role in resident experience, facilities, efficiency and cost control.
This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in running a tight, well-presented operation.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the day-to-day management of a premium residential building
- Lead, motivate and manage concierge and housekeeping teams on shift
- Deliver an exceptional resident journey from move-in to move-out
- Conduct regular building, compliance and health & safety walks
- Maintain immaculate standards across apartments and shared spaces
- Support budget control, rotas, utilities and maintenance spend
- Work closely with contractors on PPM and reactive maintenance
- Oversee apartment checks, changeovers and resident move-ins
- Build strong, genuine relationships with residents
- Support and promote on-site events, pop-ups and community activity
What We're Looking For
- Proven leadership experience in hospitality, PBSA, BTR or residential
- High standards, strong eye for detail and pride in presentation
- Warm, approachable and confident - professional but never corporate
- Comfortable working autonomously while reporting into senior management
- Strong people skills with a calm, positive and honest approach
- Interest or experience in facilities, maintenance or building operations is a big plus but not essential
- Organised, efficient and commercially aware
Shift Pattern
- Mix of 9am-6pm / 1pm-10pm shifts
- 1 in 3 weekends (two days off in the week)
Why Apply?
- Join a modern, fast-growing premium residential brand
- Play a key role in shaping standards and culture
- Work in a stylish, amenity-rich city-centre building
- Genuine autonomy and opportunity to make your mark
- Competitive salary with bonus and progression potential
