Responsibilities
- Property Management Operating Model and Performance
- Own day-to-day execution of your vertical across all integrated Dwelly agencies: enforce adherence to SOPs, dashboards and performance standards.
- Achieve and surpass ~5 key metrics that matter for your vertical, holding the line on service quality at all times.
- Track and own leading indicators across a daily, weekly, and monthly cadence; surface emerging risks and intervene before service quality is felt by tenants or landlords.
- Own the performance management cycle across Team Coordinators and their teams. Define what good looks like, set clear expectations across both existing and acquired teams, and rigorously drive outcomes.
- Act as the escalation point above the Team Coordinator layer, resolving issues from TCs and Managing Directors that require senior judgement or cross functional decisions.
- Lead Through the Team Coordinator Layer
- Directly manage 5-10 Team Coordinators, who in turn manage the wider team of property managers.
- Cross-vertical coordination & feedback
- Partner with the Run Operations Managers for Tenant Find and Payments, the three Heads, and the UK GM to keep the verticals running as one cohesive operation per agency.
- You are the conduit between the front line and central teams. Surface what's broken, what's slow, and what tenants and landlords actually need.
- Qualifications & Preferred Background:
- 7-10+ years in hands-on operational management, including 3-5+ years running 100+ people through a multi-layer structure (you managed coordinators / team leads who in turn managed individual contributors).
- Ideal backgrounds include contact centres or customer support at scale, BPO and outsourced services, field operations, and retail or branch network management. The common denominator is high-volume, KPI-driven, distributed workforce where service level is the product.
- Exceptionally organised and detail-oriented. Lives in the data, builds and iterates dashboards fluently, spots drift early, and moves decisively when the numbers shift. Decisions are grounded in evidence, not instinct.
- Exceptional people skills. Experience hiring, performance-managing, coaching and building standards across hundreds of people via a coordinator layer.
- High operational rigor, "get things done" attitude.
- Fast-growing, operationally-intensive businesses; multi-site / multi-branch structures; managing distributed teams alongside on-the-ground teams.
- You have led a function through 5x or greater headcount growth, and owned the redesign of structure, people, and process required.
- Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive salary with the potential for equity options based on performance, recognising exceptional contributions to our integration success.
- What is it like being a Dwell-er?
