General Manager (Part-Time / Freelance)

Location: Primarily Remote – with occasional site visits to Newark-on-Trent

Remuneration: £2,000/month (retainer or fixed-term), negotiable

A Smart, Hands-On Role for a Financial Mind with a Practical Streak

Are you a retired or semi-retired finance professional with a head for numbers and a heart for getting things done yourself? This unique opportunity might be your ideal next chapter.

We're seeking a detail-oriented, commercially-minded General Manager to take the reins of a profitable, well-positioned residential investment — a 39-unit apartment block in Newark-on-Trent — and help drive its long-term value through financial oversight, asset stewardship, and occasional hands-on project involvement.

Why This Role Might Suit You

  • You've got deep financial acumen — perhaps a background in consulting, accountancy, or investment — and enjoy applying it to real-world assets.

  • You take pride in practical problem-solving — and don't mind rolling up your sleeves to check on contractors, query service charges, or walk a site.

  • You value autonomy, flexibility, and a role where your decisions directly impact performance.

  • You want to stay sharp — while keeping your time and schedule your own.

Your Core Responsibilities
1. Financial Management (Your Sweet Spot)

  • Oversee the performance of a residential investment vehicle (Victoria Street Assets Ltd).

  • Liaise with letting agents, accountants, and bookkeepers to ensure profit targets are met.

  • Review cash flows, service charge budgets, arrears, voids, and cost controls.

  • Coordinate year-end accounts, VAT returns, and Companies House filings across three entities (rental company, freehold company, and management company).

  • Keep shareholders informed with monthly summaries and a central dashboard of key metrics.

2. Asset Oversight (Where DIY Meets Strategy)

  • Ensure the building is well-maintained, compliant, and running smoothly — think of it as managing your own small block of flats.

  • Coordinate with agents and contractors for repairs, snagging, and preventative maintenance.

  • Be hands-on where needed — overseeing works, challenging quotes, checking issues on-site.

3. Stakeholder & Agent Management

  • Select and oversee letting agents and block managers — holding them to account on SLAs and KPIs.

  • Act as the first port of call for escalated issues from residents, leaseholders, or contractors.

  • Liaise with local authorities and utilities when needed.

4. Governance & Reporting

  • Arrange quarterly board meetings and AGMs.

  • Maintain clear communication with shareholders, providing performance insights and risk alerts.

  • Ensure documentation, contracts, and insurance policies are in order and reviewed annually.

Optional Extras (Tailored to Your Interests)

  • ESG & Efficiency Upgrades: Lead sustainability improvements like solar or smart metering.

  • Technology & Process Streamlining: Recommend accounting or property software to improve oversight.

  • Resident Engagement: Improve tenant experience through feedback loops or small amenity upgrades.

Who This Role is For

  • A retired or semi-retired finance consultant, accountant, property investor, or asset manager.

  • Someone who understands numbers and people — and enjoys a balanced mix of strategy and problem-solving.

  • Experienced in property, lettings, leasehold, or real estate investments (preferred).

  • Comfortable working independently, managing risk, and making things work efficiently and smoothly.
