Regional Facilities Manager

About this role

Senior Regional Facilities Manager

Leeds or Manchester | Regional remit | FTSE 250 company

This is not a role built around chasing PPM schedules. It is about knowing what the property portfolio needs next.

Boden Group is partnering with a fast-growing, people-focused FTSE 250 company to appoint a Senior Regional Facilities Manager for a prominent multi-site portfolio spanning the North, Midlands, Scotland and Ireland.

Supporting approximately 1,500 colleagues, you will lead a client-side workplace team of six and act as the trusted property and workplace partner to senior leaders across the region.

An established TFM model is already in place, while health and safety and security are supported by dedicated specialists. Your focus will therefore sit at a more senior level: understanding lease events, managing rent reviews and break options, assessing new property requirements, overseeing workplace projects and ensuring the outsourced model delivers the right commercial and operational outcomes.

What you will be doing

• Owning the regional property and workplace plan
• Tracking lease expiries, rent reviews and break opportunities
• Supporting searches, negotiations and decisions around new properties
• Leading and developing a team of six workplace professionals
• Supporting office openings, moves and workplace improvement projects
• Building trusted relationships with senior leaders and office stakeholders
• Balancing ambitious workplace expectations with commercial reality
• Using data and employee insight to improve the workplace experience

What we are looking for

• You will be an experienced property and workplace leader who can operate comfortably beyond traditional facilities management.
• You will understand leases, landlord and tenant relationships, property transactions and outsourced FM delivery, while bringing the confidence to influence commercially minded stakeholders who expect high standards from their workplaces.
• You will also be a credible people leader who can support an established team, bring structure to a growing portfolio and recognise where the business needs to act before a lease event, capacity issue or operational challenge becomes urgent.
• The company is expanding quickly, so neither the property portfolio nor this opportunity will stand still. It is an ideal move for someone looking for visibility, autonomy and genuine scope to progress.
