Job Description

At Umega Lettings, we're not just about property; we're all about people. Everything we do is rooted in our ethos of Homes not Housing, People not Property. From advertising new properties and conducting viewings, to overseeing inspections, coordinating maintenance, and supporting tenants through move-out, we guide our customers through every step of their journey with care, confidence, and heart.

We're growing our phenomenal, award-winning team, and we're looking for talented, motivated, people-focused individuals to join us as our next Portfolio Manager.

If you love helping people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to make a real impact every day, this could be your perfect next move.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

As a Portfolio Manager, you'll be the steady hand and friendly face supporting landlords and tenants throughout their entire lettings journey. No two days will look the same, but you can expect to:

  • Look after your own portfolio of properties and be the go-to contact for landlords and tenants
  • Carry out move-ins, inspections, and check-outs
  • Manage maintenance issues and collaborate closely with our trusted contractors
  • Keep communication flowing by updating customers, coordinating work, and solving problems quickly
  • Make confident, well-informed decisions, even when things get busy
  • Spot issues before they escal and keep things moving smoothly
  • Work closely with your teammates, sharing knowledge, backing each other up, and celebrating wins
  • Deliver brilliant, people-first service in every interaction

If you love variety, enjoy the buzz of solving problems, and get satisfaction from helping people through meaningful moments in their lives, you'll thrive here.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Property experience isn't essential: we'll give you top-notch training so you can become a property expert. What matters most is who you are and the energy you bring.

We're looking for someone with:

Strong & Confident Decision Making - You'll be making timely, well-informed decisions in situations that matter deeply to people. You back yourself, communicate clearly, and keep everyone in the loop.

A People-First Mindset - You genuinely care about customers and colleagues. You build trust, nurture relationships, and stay steady and compassionate under pressure.

Curiosity & Problem-Solving Energy - Every day brings something new. You're confident diving into challenges, open to learning, and resourceful when solving issues you may not have seen before.

A Safe Pair of Hands - You have great attention to detail, take pride in delivering personal yet efficient service, and take ownership of your work from start to finish.

If you bring passion, drive, initiative, and heart, we'll teach you the rest.
