In-house Head of Property

Sacco Mann is once again working alongside a leading and ambitious organisation which has developed a unique platform for the volume aggregation of the Private Rental Sector (PRS).

They are aiming to become the UK’s largest operator of single family homes to rent and require a UK qualified property solicitor to help realise their goals, reporting into the COO based out of their HQ in Doncaster with hybrid working offered.

As a member of the senior management team, the successful candidate will lead and develop the In-house property legal function, balancing excellent standards of delivery with a commercial and pragmatic approach.

You’ll ensure the property legal environment is well governed whilst sufficiently flexible and agile to meet commercial business needs.

This is a rare role and sits as a member of the Operating Board, offering the ability to influence strategic and tactical decision making.

It’s a truly varied caseload and is ideally suiting a qualified solicitor with 5+ years PQE, with residential/commercial property experience including a deep understanding of all elements of conveyancing.

A familiarity with leasehold and freehold agreements and all aspects of managing these would be very useful, and any exposure to possession proceedings and ability to manage these strategically for optimal results - including coordinating litigation with external support - would be equally welcomed, as would any knowledge of property related financing transactions.

It’s an agile and fast moving organisation which offers an untypical role, a place on the SLT and input into key decisions.

A competitive salary commensurate with experience alongside a comprehensive benefits package a potential long term incentive is on offer.
