Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7JB

Do you demonstrate strong commercial acumen and a strategic mindset? Are you driven by successful outcomes while collaborating across departments and thrive in environments where proactive problem-solving and clear communication are key? If so, you could be a perfect fit for our role.

As a Senior Project Manager - Asset Optimisation, you will be a key part of the Asset Investment team and the driving force behind our disposal programme.

Your typical day might start with a strategy meeting to assess new opportunities for property disposals, before heading into a progress check-in with your team to identify and negotiate sales routes while building Peabody’s asset disposal pipeline.

You will lead a team of project managers and sales officers, overseeing property sales that support Peabody’s long-term strategy for asset optimisation. You will play a vital role in ensuring our portfolio delivers value and supports community goals, working closely with internal and external partners including legal teams, estate agents, local authorities and housing colleagues.

For this role, you will need to be in the office at least one day a week, with some travel between sites will also be required.

Your role is centred on maximising the value of our existing stock – from managing disposals, analysing market trends, coordinating voids data, to working closely with our stakeholders to ensure we deliver an efficient, customer-focused and compliant service.

To be successful in this role, you are:

• an experienced project manager with a strong track record in asset disposals, property sales or estate management.
• successful in achieving financial targets by strategically disposing of underperforming assets via various routes to market, including auction, open market sales and stock transfers.
• confident in leading a multi disciplined team, with a people-first approach.
• skilled in managing stakeholder relationships, including Local Authority partners, Estate Agents, Auctioneers, Solicitors and Consultants.
• commercially focused with the ability to hit financial targets and deadlines.
• confident navigating and interpreting legal documents, sales contracts and sector legislation.

Here are just a few of the benefits of working at Peabody:

• 30 days’ annual holiday, plus bank holidays
• two additional paid volunteering days each year 
• flexible benefits scheme, including family friendly benefits and access to a discount portal 
• 4 x salary life assurance
• up to 10% pension contribution

Closing date: 22nd April 2025 at midnight.
