Manager, Asset Management (Data & Business Intelligence)

Salary: £65,000 - 105,000 per year

Requirements:

• Degree in Real Estate, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Data Analytics or a related discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience in Power BI, including data modelling, DAX, dashboard design and performance optimisation.
• Proven experience working with complex financial and operational data in a commercial environment, ideally within real estate, student housing or adjacent living sectors.
• Solid understanding of real estate asset performance drivers, financial statements, budgets, forecasts and valuations, with the ability to translate these into meaningful analytics.
• Experience owning and improving reporting frameworks, data quality and business intelligence standards within a team or organisation.
• Highly analytical, detail-oriented and commercially minded, with the ability to communicate insight clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge, explain and influence through data.
• Self-motivated, organised and comfortable operating in a fast-paced asset management environment.

Responsibilities:

• Own and develop our Power BI environment for the UK and European student housing portfolio, including data models, dashboards, reporting standards and visualisations.
• Design and maintain asset-level and portfolio-level reporting frameworks covering financial performance, operational metrics, leasing, capex, valuations and returns.
• Translate complex data sets into clear commercial insights that support asset managers in pricing, budgeting, business planning and investment decision-making.
• Act as the primary point of ownership for data quality, consistency and integrity across asset management reporting, working with internal teams and external partners to resolve gaps and inconsistencies.
• Support annual budgets, reforecasts and business plans through robust analytics, scenario analysis and variance reporting, enhancing insight rather than owning the process.
• Develop performance monitoring tools to identify trends, risks and opportunities across assets and operators, including peer benchmarking and portfolio analytics.
• Lead the evolution of dashboards and self-service reporting tools, ensuring outputs are intuitive, decision-focused and aligned with asset management priorities.
• Produce ad-hoc analysis and insight to support asset reviews, asset optimisation initiatives and investment committee materials.
• Collaborate closely with asset managers, finance, operations and external managers to ensure reporting reflects how assets are actually managed and decisions are made.

More:

We are part of Mapletrees UK Asset Management team, focused on the student housing and living sectors across the UK and Europe. This role is a data and Power BI-focused position embedded within asset management, designed to strengthen commercial decision-making through high-quality analytics, reporting and insight. It is not a traditional asset manager role and not a standalone IT or reporting function; instead, it centers on improving how performance, risk and value are understood and acted upon across the portfolio.
