JLL shapes the future of real estate through world‑class services, advisory, and technology. The Associate Property Manager role in Property Management (PM) focuses on delivering exceptional property management, contributing to the Centre of Excellence, and maintaining strong client relationships. This is a rare opportunity to join an exciting portfolio in JLL’s Property Management business—supporting a prestigious institutional client on a series of significant masterplan development schemes across the South and South West of England.

Spanning live development land, evolving masterplans, and sites in transition from construction through to disposal, this role sits at the leading edge of how JLL delivers operational property management on some of the region’s most ambitious and closely watched development schemes. It offers genuine variety, real influence over how management structures are shaped from the ground up, and the chance to work closely with a high‑profile client’s own development and master‑planning teams as these sites evolve.

What your day to day would look like:
Client Relationship – Act as the main point of contact for the client’s Asset Manager / Development Manager on your assets and lead this relationship in a dynamic and professional manner. Development Site – Working Structure:
This role operates as part of a targeted JLL team alongside a Facilities Manager and a JLL Residential Manager, combining property management, facilities, and residential/Man Co expertise to support the client’s operational management, master‑planning oversight, and effectiveness through to site parcel and development disposal. Development Site Lifecycle Management – Design and apply a property management operating structure appropriate to each site’s stage of development—recognising that a site’s management requirements evolve materially as it moves from raw retained land, through active construction phases, to substantially complete and disposed.

Work with Development Managers to understand master‑planning and disposal sequencing, and translate this into an operational budget and service structure that flexes as land parcels are sold, transferred to a Man Co, or handed to a house builder. Maintain a clear, current understanding of site boundaries—retained land, Man Co‑managed areas, sold or developer‑controlled plots—and ensure operational activity is correctly scoped to land within the client’s ongoing control only.

Man Co & Residential Managing Agent Oversight (Supported) – Support and engage with the oversight of appointed residential managing agents across a portfolio of sites at different stages of Man Co maturity, working closely with JLL and client stakeholders. Contribute to a graduated oversight approach—from light‑touch monitoring to more active engagement—appropriate to each site’s risk profile and the client’s stated requirements.

Support the Man Co adoption process.

Statutory & Environmental Boundary Management – Operate confidently and consistently within a defined liability boundary on sites carrying legacy environmental or structural considerations—attending, facilitating, and coordinating logistics without assuming technical, regulatory, or duty‑holder responsibility. Recognise when a matter requires escalation to a specialist, the client’s own technical team, or a named statutory role‑holder, and do so promptly and clearly, maintaining a documented trail of what was flagged and to whom.
