• Lead on health & safety and regulatory compliance, including:

  • MHRA and GDP standards

  • Fire safety, legionella, and electrical compliance

• Manage audits, inspections, and risk assessments, ensuring full regulatory adherence

• Own and manage estates and facilities budgets, tracking spend and identifying cost efficiencies

• Ensure all suppliers and contractors deliver against SLAs and KPIs, driving value for money

• Build strong relationships across internal teams and act as a trusted advisor to leadership on estates strategy and operational performance

What do you need?

• 5-10+ years’ experience in a senior estates, facilities, or property management role

• Strong expertise in commercial property, leases, rent reviews, and service charges

• Ability to travel between our Winnersh and London sites

• Strong financial and commercial acumen, with experience managing budgets and delivering efficiencies

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills
