Operations Manager
Student Accommodation
We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day performance of our growing student accommodation portfolio.
Reporting to the Operations Director, you will lead and support our site management teams, ensuring our properties deliver excellent resident experiences, strong commercial performance and consistently high operational standards.
This is a hands-on role, with responsibility for multiple properties and regular travel between sites.
What you'll be doing
You'll take ownership of operational performance across a portfolio, supporting the assistant Operations Managers to deliver against budgets, occupancy targets, resident satisfaction and compliance requirements.
You'll oversee property standards, maintenance, housekeeping, resident experience and health and safety, ensuring each building is well managed and our teams have the support they need to succeed.
You'll also play a key role in controlling operating costs, improving EBITDA, managing contractors and delivering our summer turnaround and short term accommodation operations.
Above all, you'll develop strong, accountable management teams who take pride in their buildings and the experience they provide to residents.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with proven experience managing multiple properties or operational sites, ideally within student accommodation, hospitality or residential property.
You'll be commercially minded, confident managing budgets and financial performance, and comfortable leading teams across different locations.
You'll need to be organised, proactive and willing to get involved. We're looking for someone who enjoys being out in the properties, working with their teams and making things happen, rather than managing from behind a desk.
Why join SPACE?
SPACE is a growing student accommodation business with ambitious plans for the future. This is an opportunity to take on a senior operational role, influence how our properties are managed and play a key part in the continued growth of the business.
If you're an experienced operator who enjoys leading people, improving standards and delivering results, we'd love to hear from you.
