Due to recent sustained growth, we have a fantastic opportunity to join our specialist property management accounts team. We are looking for a confident, honest and friendly individual to work in a small specialist team within Myers Clark and have client-facing responsibilities as soon as they have settled in.

Working to monthly financial reporting deadlines, you will mainly be dealing with small accounts from a high volume of clients. Being able to self-manage all work is essential, as is reporting to the manager regularly with updates and deadlines.
