Reporting to the Director of Corporate Services, the Head of Property had a mandate to transform LFB’s property function such that it represented a best in class property service that supports the strategic objectives and operational needs of the organisation. Key deliverables included creating a vision and strategy for the operating model of the property function and development of a 5-10 year property strategy in line with LFB’s overall business plan. Following a comprehensive fast-track search campaign MRG were able to shortlist a diverse group of 8 candidates for consideration, all of whom had a proven track record in leading transformation programmes across public and private sector real estate portfolios. The appointed candidate had a proven track record in the real estate sector having early worked for two of the leading multi-national property firms before most recently going on to lead a significant estate consolidation and team change programme for a central government estate occupier.

Reporting to the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Operations) the post was responsible for all day to day operations for their outsourced service provider KUSCO which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the University. KUSCO had their own HR, Finance and Projects teams which operated autonomously from the University and the successful candidate was required to have managed a commercial enterprise and managed a large P&L. They have a largely directly employed labour force (of some 200 staff) in addition to a framework of outsourced providers covering their three campus estate. The person specification required an individual with a blended background across all aspects of operational FM (hard services) in addition to soft services and minor projects. The Interim Managing Director had served in a leadership post in a similar FM service provider background and was also the former Interim Director of Estates at the University of Westminster.
