We are now seeking a graduate estates manager to assist the highly-successful and performance-driven Estates Team that is in place. In this role, you will be expected to make an impact and get stuck in from day 1. We do not do things conventionally, and have no expectations of how things 'should be' with no process or strategy set in stone. In this role, you will have a real ability to impact and be a part of the ever-changing estates function at Frasers Group. The role will have insight into all levels and areas of the business, not just property matters, giving you an exceptional insight into why our actions and the team's performance are essential to the success of The Group.
The responsibility:
As part of this role, you will gain a wide and varied experience across the estate including property management matters, estates issues, acquisitions, lease event management, property overhead cost control, and assisting senior members of the team on an ad-hoc basis.
* Manage and own tasks handed down to you by senior team members.
* Expected to continually challenge, question, and query why and how on all estates matters.
* Manage your time and priorities effectively; the Estates Team are often working to hard and critical deadlines.
* Be responsible for acquisitions in a certain area or assisting senior team members during an acquisition phase.
* Assist team members on all estates matters to ensure the estate remains fit for purpose, allowing the retail teams to operate effectively and profitably.
* This could mean one day dealing with road works and the council, to the next assisting a team member on a relocation of a profitable store.
* Get involved in lease events, whether that's holding your nerve in a landlord negotiation or engaging our consultants on technical renewals; you will be expected to take ownership of events and report accordingly.
* Manage a given geographical area of responsibility in all aspects including business rates, service charges, and general estates issues.
Along with your benefits package, we also offer a wide range of perks for our colleagues:
