Lettings Manager
Clacton-on-Sea (covering the Tendring area)

We are currently partnering with a well-established and forward-thinking estate agency that is preparing to open a new office in Clacton-on-Sea, serving the wider Tendring district. They are seeking an experienced and driven Lettings Manager to take the lead in launching and developing this exciting new branch.

This is a standout opportunity for an existing Lettings Manager - or an ambitious Assistant Manager ready for the next step - to play a pivotal role in building a department from the ground up.

The Role

You will be entrusted with full responsibility for establishing and growing the lettings function, with the autonomy to shape its success.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Setting up and driving the growth of the new lettings office
  • Recruiting, mentoring and managing your own team
  • Proactively generating new business and expanding the portfolio
  • Developing strong, long-term relationships with landlords and tenants
  • Overseeing compliance, performance, and overall service standards

This position offers genuine scope to influence strategy, culture, and results within a growing marketplace.

About You

  • Currently operating as a Lettings Manager, or an Assistant Manager ready to step up
  • Demonstrable success in securing new instructions
  • Experience leading or supervising a team
  • Thorough understanding of lettings legislation and regulatory compliance
  • Commercially astute, target-driven and highly organised
  • Full UK driving licence

We are looking for someone with energy, ambition, and the confidence to take ownership of a new venture.

Salary & Benefits

  • Basic salary between 30,000 - 35,000
  • On-target earnings of 40,000+
  • Car allowance
  • Primarily office-based with some flexibility
  • Strong progression prospects as the branch and wider business grow

If you are motivated by growth, leadership and the opportunity to build something meaningful in a new location, I would welcome a confidential conversation.
