This is a rare opportunity for a senior lettings professional to take the reins of an already successful, well-established agency in Leicestershire. With a solid reputation built over years of local expertise and customer-focused service, this is a business poised for further growth, and they’re looking for a Lettings Director to lead the way.

You’ll be joining a team with deep roots in the region, strong operational systems, and an ambitious outlook. This role goes beyond day-to-day management. You’ll be instrumental in setting strategic direction, developing the team, and maximising the lettings portfolio, all while maintaining high service standards across the board.

What you'll be doing:

Your primary focus will be to take ownership of the lettings function across multiple branches, working closely with senior stakeholders to shape and implement commercial and operational plans. You'll monitor and control budgets, track KPIs, and ensure consistent delivery across the business.

Staff leadership will be key. You'll be responsible for mentoring, motivating, and developing your team, from valuers to property managers, with a clear focus on performance, compliance, and customer experience. You’ll ensure staff are working to targets, coaching where needed, and creating an accountable, engaged culture.

You’ll play an active role in business planning, helping identify new revenue opportunities and driving operational improvements. Whether it’s refining fee structures, improving customer retention, or driving market share, your input will directly influence the agency’s continued growth.

Lettings legislation is constantly evolving, and you’ll be the go-to for compliance, ensuring policies are robust, training is up to date, and risk is minimised.

Who we're looking for:

We’re looking for a proven leader in lettings, someone who understands both the operational and strategic side of the sector. You’ll need a track record in managing people, driving performance, and delivering results in a regulated environment.

Experience managing budgets, forecasting, and overseeing multi-site operations will be a distinct advantage. An ARLA qualification is preferred, but what matters most is your ability to inspire a team and deliver growth without compromising on service or standards.

What’s on offer:

Basic salary is dependent on experience, likely in the region of £45–50k, with realistic OTE up to £75k. Beyond the financials, this is a chance to join a respected agency and take a leading role in shaping its future.

If you're ready to lead from the front and make a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
