If you’re a driven lettings professional ready to take full ownership of a growing portfolio, without sacrificing your weekends, this opportunity offers the chance to lead, influence, and build something genuinely exciting.

An established and steadily expanding independent property business is looking for a Lettings Manager to take the reins of its Derby operation.

With a strong presence across the Midlands and a reputation for delivering a personable, service-led approach to landlords and tenants alike, the company combines the agility of an independent agency with the structure and support of a larger organisation.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on developing landlord relationships, leading a motivated team, and driving lettings performance while maintaining high standards of service and compliance.

You’ll be given the autonomy to shape the lettings department locally, supported by a forward-thinking leadership team that values initiative, new ideas, and proactive management.

What You’ll Be Achieving

In this role, you’ll play a key part in expanding the lettings portfolio, strengthening landlord relationships, and leading the team to deliver exceptional results across the Derby market.

Daily Responsibilities

• Managing and developing the lettings department to drive portfolio growth
• Building long-term relationships with landlords and securing new instructions
• Overseeing property marketing, enquiries, and negotiations through to agreed lets
• Supporting and mentoring the lettings team to maximise performance
• Ensuring all lettings processes remain compliant with current legislation
• Conducting rental valuations and advising landlords on pricing strategy
• Monitoring pipeline activity and maintaining high service standards
• Collaborating with senior leadership to identify opportunities for business growth

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience within residential lettings, ideally at senior negotiator or manager level
• Strong valuation and landlord relationship skills
• A proactive and commercially minded approach to growing a portfolio
• Leadership capability with the ability to motivate and support a team
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• A strong understanding of current lettings legislation and best practice

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• No weekend working -genuine work-life balance
• Clear opportunity to shape and grow the lettings department
• Supportive leadership and collaborative culture
• Established brand with ambitious expansion plans
• Competitive basic salary with strong earning potential

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly influence the direction of a lettings business while maintaining balance outside of work, this could be the ideal next step.
