Cobalt Recruitment is partnering with a leading global real estate business to appoint a General Manager for a high-profile, high-rise office-led development in London. This is a senior site leadership role with genuine visibility across the wider business and strong progression potential - previous individuals in the position have moved into Associate Director roles. The property is primarily a substantial commercial office asset, with residential elements adding further complexity around service charge, stakeholder management and major works. You'll take overall responsibility for the performance of the development, leading the site team and managing relationships across the client, occupiers and service partners. This is not a step-up opportunity. We're looking for an established senior property professional whose core experience is in commercial office management, ideally across large or high-rise assets. Residential knowledge is important, but as an additional layer to a strong commercial background rather than the primary focus of your experience. Key responsibilities include: Taking overall responsibility for the operational, commercial and financial performance of the property. Leading and developing the on-site team and setting clear standards across service delivery. Acting as a senior point of contact for the client, commercial occupiers, residential stakeholders and service partners.

Alongside this, you'll need enough residential exposure to understand the additional requirements that come with a mixed-use development, particularly Section 20, service charge splits and major works. This should complement, rather than replace, your commercial office experience. A technical or engineering background would be particularly valuable, although strong experience managing major projects, fit-outs and technically complex buildings will also be considered. We're looking for a confident, credible leader with excellent communication skills who can manage senior stakeholders, challenge where required and build a high-performing team. For the right person, this is an opportunity to take ownership of a premium high-rise development within one of the world's leading real estate organisations, with a proven route into more senior leadership positions.
