<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>General Manager - A Brand New Standard for Rental Living in Birmingham</strong></p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>Digbeth, Birmingham | Full-time</strong></p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">This is a rare one. A 550-unit build-to-rent development in the heart of Digbeth, Birmingham - is looking for a General Manager to lead it from the front.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Digbeth is having a moment. Creative, gritty, buzzing with independent culture, and now home to a rental scheme that's setting a genuinely new benchmark for what renting in Birmingham can look like. Think best-in-class amenities, a strong sense of community, six commercial units bringing the ground floor to life, and a resident experience built to feel more like a lifestyle than a lease. This isn't a standard PRS block - it's a flagship.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">We're looking for someone who wants to put their stamp on it.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>The role</strong></p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">You'll take full ownership of the onsite lettings and property management team, running the scheme as if it were your own business. That means:</p><ul dir="ltr"><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Owning the P&amp;L - driving rental growth, managing costs, and reporting on performance with real commercial rigour</li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Leading, developing and inspiring a multi-disciplinary onsite team across leasing, facilities, and customer service</li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Setting the tone for resident experience - building a genuine community through events, engagement and a five-star customer ethos</li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Championing health &amp; safety and sustainability, keeping the scheme compliant and ahead of the curve</li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Getting out into the local area - building relationships with businesses, tenants and the wider Digbeth community to raise the profile of the building</li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Working closely with senior leadership on long-term asset strategy, spotting opportunities to enhance value and performance</li></ul><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>About you</strong></p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">You've led teams in build-to-rent, PBSA, hospitality or another purpose-built residential environment for at least 3 years, and you know your way around a budget as well as you know how to motivate a team. You're commercially sharp, hands-on, and genuinely energised by creating a great place to live. You're a strategic thinker but not afraid to get stuck in - someone who can read a P&amp;L in the morning and be chatting to a resident about their day by the afternoon.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Propertymark, IRPM or IOSH qualifications are a bonus, not a dealbreaker. What matters more is the mindset: commercially driven, community-minded, and ready to lead something special.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">If you want to be the person who defines what rental living looks like in Birmingham for the next generation - this is it.</p>
