As our Head of Property, you’ll shape the future of Camden’s commercial and corporate estate, driving innovation, sustainability, and value across one of London’s most dynamic property portfolios.

The role
As Head of Property, you’ll lead the strategic direction, performance and delivery of Camden’s corporate and commercial assets. You’ll oversee the management of our tenanted and operational property portfolio, acquisitions, disposals, and development projects, ensuring that every decision contributes to our long-term goals and community outcomes.

You’ll have:

• Chartered status with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) — essential for this role.
• A strong background in asset management, valuation, and capital investment planning.
• Experience leading large-scale property programmes, including acquisitions and disposals.
• A proven ability to balance commercial performance with community benefit.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, capable of engaging confidently with developers, investors, local businesses, and public partners.
• Strong financial acumen and experience managing multi-million-pound budgets.
