The Group Property Director role creates shareholder value by both creating and delivering a profitable and innovative property strategy to enhance business performance and drive the growth of the Group. This is a fantastic opportunity to head this Group Property function and maintain an efficient, well managed estate that meets the needs of customers and colleagues.

This role will lead a sizeable team focusing on:

The existing Portfolio- both freehold and leasehold properties. This will include the facilities management and maintenance, rent reviews and day to day property management activities in amongst a whole host of other things. The incoming individual will need the capability to lead the team successfully through all these areas.

As with all senior leadership roles, the incoming individual will also need to balance the dynamism and
fluidity of the day-to-day operational landscape with the wider strategic priorities, namely developing
the long-term property strategy and all the influencing of the Executive Board that goes with its execution

Growing safely is also a fundamental part of the property programme. It is absolutely critical that, first
and foremost, employee and customer health, well being and safety is a front and centre consideration
and that the business is protected too. Both of these things are a key part of the remit for this role.

Finally, an intrinsic part of this evolving growth strategy is about driving it in conjunction with the CEO,
CFO, MD’s and Exec Board. An important part of this will be articulating the case for investing in new
opportunities- credibility and influence sits at the heart of this to be able to pull the business into the long
term focus as we all as the here and now.
