About this role

Senior Facilities Manager - Kitt × Reeve

£60,000–£70,000 · London · Operations team

We're rebuilding facilities management: an AI platform that handles the volume, and expert FM people who own everything it can't. If you know plant and M&E, and think the industry is a decade behind what it could be, read on.

The setup

Kitt designs and operates workspace for brands worth leaving home for. Reeve is our sister platform - the AI that runs the portfolio: reactive jobs, compliance, suppliers, dispatch, reporting. Same business, two brands.

We are rapidly expanding across London and are onboarding 20+ buildings over the next 12 months.

The job

Report to the Head of Operations; deputise for her when she's out. Be Reeve's human expert on the complex long-tail issues the platform doesn't automate - and every one you solve makes it smarter.

You'll:

  • Onboard new buildings - scoping plant, bringing incumbent suppliers across
  • Own complex, multi-threaded issues end to end
  • Approve spend up to your threshold, and challenge it where it's soft
  • Catch M&E and compliance risk before it becomes a failure
  • Bring diagnosis in-house instead of deferring to contractors

You

  • High ownership. You take the whole problem, not your slice of it. When something's broken you fix it or find who can - you don't file it under "not my job" and move on.
  • Easy to work with. Straight-talking, low-drama, quick to share what you know. Contractors, landlords, and your own team all find you the person who makes things simpler, not harder.
  • Customer first. You measure the job by what the client experiences in the building, not by whether the box got ticked.
  • Bias to action. You'd rather make the call and adjust than wait for permission.
  • Real hard-FM depth to back it up: multi-site FM across HVAC, electrical, water, lifts, BMS and fire - you can scope a building and spot the risk on sight.

How we work

Fast, tech-first. Real ownership early, real judgment expected. If you want a fixed remit and a settled process, this isn't the job for you. If building something new while running buildings better than anyone else sounds good, you'll fit.
