Edinburgh’s most exciting letting agent is on the lookout for a superstar New Business Coordinator. If you have a passion for being part of a great team, are motivated by providing an outstanding service and love the buzz of juggling a busy and varied workload then this could be the job for you! Our New Business team are a fun hard-working bunch and we want you to join the fun (and the hard work).

We’re not your average letting business. We do things differently, we work hard and we bring on a high volume of new properties so this role is crucial to the continuing success of our New Business Team.  You will be responsible for assisting the New Business Team in bringing new properties into the company’s portfolio – getting them prepared for listing on the market and ensuring all safety and maintenance work is ticked off and the property is ready for the first let.  You will also be required to keep on top of admin tasks for your allocated properties – so attention to detail is key here. We’re therefore looking for someone highly organised who can juggle lots of tasks, prioritise well and manage their own time effectively. 

You will spend a good chunk of your time out of the office visiting properties to draw up accurate floorplans, take striking marketing photos and prepare distinctive property descriptions to help our client’s properties really stand out from the crowd.  Communication is a huge part of this job – you’ll need to be confident dealing with a variety of people and be great at letting them know you’re on top of things.

This is a real multi-tasking role and you’ll need to be happy to turn your hand to whatever comes your way, including some occasional out of hours working. 

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Act as main point of contact for landlords of new business properties during the onboarding and marketing period; communicating with them in a friendly, professional, and prompt manner in person, via email and on the phone.
  • Create marketing material for new business properties – including; photography, property descriptions, and floorplans.
  • Manage maintenance works where required during the onboarding and marketing period; efficiently liaising with the Umega maintenance team and various other external contractors.
  • Instruct and obtain the required safety and compliance certificates during the onboarding and marketing period so the property is fully prepared for the first let.
  • All administration associated with bringing new properties into the company’s portfolio – including; data input to relevant software systems and recording of information.
  • Any other duties as reasonably required in line with your role.
