National Area Director - Lettings

at  Rightmove

THE ROLE

We are expanding our Lettings team to reflect the huge growth potential we see in the rental market. There has been an unprecedented level of high demand for properties. Our Lead to Keys feature is the only fully integrated platform that gives letting agents the ability to advertise properties to the largest audience in the UK, manage tenant enquiries efficiently, reference tenants and progress the legal and compliance aspects of a tenancy. This is all the way from advertising a property to handing the keys over. Since launch in October 2023 we have seen huge uptake of the platform and it is making a significant difference to our lettings customers. The Team’s role is to ensure the benefits of Lead to Keys and the Rightmove platform is maximized by all relevant lettings agents.
