Job Description

Assistant Estate Manager

Department: Site - Office Buildings

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Ed City (Site)

Compensation: £40,000 - £42,000 / year



MAPP is the UK’s leading specialist in commercial property and asset management, with over £30bn+ of property under management for a wide range of UK and overseas fund managers, REITs and property owners.

We believe property management can be a force for good. That’s why we focus on making buildings work — not just for profit, but for people and the planet too. Through our Property Management framework, we help clients and occupiers navigate a rapidly changing landscape, delivering a fully integrated and genuinely holistic approach.

Most job descriptions read like a recipe without showing you what the finished dish should look like. We’d rather give you a clear picture of who we are, how we work, and the kind of person who thrives at MAPP.

If this role excites you and you think you could make a difference here, we’d encourage you to apply — even if you don’t tick every box. We’re interested in people who want to do meaningful work, add real value, and be rewarded for their efforts in a genuinely great place to work.

Inclusion at MAPP

We want the real estate industry to be a career path where people feel both welcome and wanted. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far, but we’re always challenging ourselves to do better. We want the best people to see themselves thriving at MAPP. Creating an environment where everyone feels able to be themselves is essential to that – because diverse perspectives, lived experience and ways of thinking make us stronger.

Our values and how we work

Our MAPP values underpin everything we do. We were the first national real estate consultancy in the UK to become a B Corp, and that commitment to doing business responsibly shapes our decisions every day. We recently were reaccredited and improved our score significantly.

We want you to learn, grow and challenge yourself. As a business, MAPP has grown consistently over the past five years, and we promote around 10% of our office-based roles internally each year. We invest in development, create opportunities to broaden professional horizons, and make time to connect — through charity days, fundraising, learning initiatives and social events.

High expectations & employee ownership

What makes MAPP distinctive is that we are owned by an Employee Ownership Trust. There are no external shareholders — our business is held on behalf of our people. This creates a more inclusive and transparent environment, where employees are informed, involved, and able to influence how we move forward. It also means that when the business succeeds, that success is shared — typically through a profit share that can be paid tax-free to each individual.

Being employee-owned shapes the way we show up. It encourages us to think long term, take ownership of our decisions, and care about the impact of our work. We place a strong emphasis on trust, expecting people to use their judgement, take initiative, and support one another. Collaboration, curiosity, and accountability are key to maintaining both our performance and our culture.

In return, we offer autonomy, support and the opportunity to grow in a business where your contribution genuinely matters.

Why join MAPP?

This role gives you the opportunity to be part of something a little bit special in property management. We’re always looking for great character — that’s what makes someone a MAPP person. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

About MAPP

We are MAPP

… we are an adventurous, curious and outward-looking team of around 650+ people who are on a mission to do something a little bit special together.

Since the day we got going in 1998 we knew things needed shaking up in the world of property management. So we got stuck in with a heavy emphasis on being curious and finding out exactly what our clients really needed and then focused everything on delivering a tailored service that was best in sector.

Unlike most of our competitors, we kept our focus narrow and decided that this is all we would do. You see generalists are good but specialists are better. It seemed to work and we now manage over £30bn worth of commercial property up and down the land, looking after 9,500+ units on behalf of our clients which include Funds, REITS, Trusts and Investment Managers backed by Private Equity.
