Cobalt is working with a national property management business to appoint an Associate Director to help lead its Facilities Management operations across a regional portfolio.

This is a senior, client-facing role where you'll support the FM Director with line management, service delivery, and team development - while also overseeing your own portfolio of commercial properties.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the FM Director in leading a regional FM team - providing coaching, training, and performance management.

• Managing a personal portfolio of properties, overseeing all aspects of hard and soft FM service delivery.

• Reviewing monthly reporting across the wider team, providing insight and analysis back to senior stakeholders.

• Supporting with budget preparation and service charge management, ensuring accurate forecasting and reporting.

• Overseeing procurement and contractor performance - including KPIs, SLAs and compliance reviews.

• Driving ESG, sustainability and occupier engagement initiatives, working closely with clients and tenants.

• Leading on compliance, H&S, and risk management - ensuring all sites meet statutory requirements.

• Acting as the escalation point for tenant or team issues, resolving matters calmly and professionally.

We're looking for a senior FM professional with a strong track record working within Real Estate, and a strong understanding of tenant and landlord dynamics. You'll be confident leading and developing others, have a sharp commercial eye, and bring a proactive, solutions-focused approach to managing buildings and teams. An IOSH is essential, whilst a NEBOSH or IWFM would be advantageous.
