The University of Sussex is seeking to make an appointment to the role of Head of Strategic Property Management. The postholder will lead on the effective and strategic management of our buildings and assets and play a pivotal role in developing an Estates Framework (ESF) to guide decisions about our estate.

The postholder will work with our FM Partner to improve our data maturity and will co-create a multi-year long term maintenance programme founded on good asset information. They will advise the FM Partner on the delivery of Maintenance and other relevant service lines by providing strategic insight into our assets and how they support our strategic goals. The postholder will play a pivotal role in improving our space efficiency by implementing new space principles and through line management of the Space Management team. They will provide key insights into our master planning process as we establish the basis for the ESF and build towards an estates masterplan to support our new 2035 vision.
