3What this role really is

This role covers safety and compliance across a whole property portfolio, not fire safety alone. You set out where the biggest property-related risks lie and how to deal with them, reporting to senior leadership. The work protects people, assets and reputation.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

CAFM/IWMS (e.g., Planon, FSI Concept Evolution) Strategic

Leading the selection, implementation, and optimisation of new CAFM modules for portfolio-wide safety management, integrating with other business systems, and using aggregated data for strategic capital planning and risk analysis.

Compliance & Audit Software (e.g., Tio Fire Safety, Boris Compliance) Architect

Setting enterprise-wide compliance frameworks within these systems, negotiating vendor contracts, and designing executive-level dashboards that link compliance status to financial impact and liability across the entire portfolio.

Building Management Systems (BMS) (e.g., Siemens Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys) Strategic

Specifying fire system integration requirements for all new builds and major retrofits, evaluating BMS vendors for long-term compatibility and maintainability, and developing enterprise-wide alarm management strategies to reduce false alarms.

Data & Reporting (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) Strategic Power BI

Designing and presenting executive-level risk dashboards that link fire safety compliance metrics to financial impact (insurance, liability), using advanced analytics to identify portfolio-wide trends and inform strategic decisions.

Collaboration & PM Tools (e.g., MS Teams, Jira, MS Project) Strategic

Establishing communication protocols and project frameworks for the entire safety function, overseeing major portfolio-wide safety upgrade programmes, and ensuring clear reporting lines and accountability across all initiatives.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Strategic Policy & Frameworks Follows established policies; escalates any interpretation questions. Applies existing policies to specific sites; proposes minor procedural adjustments. Designs and implements new policies for specific workstreams; makes recommendations for broader policy changes.
Budget Allocation & Capital Expenditure No budget authority; flags equipment needs to supervisor. Manages small operational budgets (up to £5K) for a specific site; requests CAPEX for minor repairs. Approves project budgets up to £50K; makes recommendations for larger CAPEX projects.
Regulatory Engagement & Incident Response Assists with data collection for regulatory requests; reports incidents to supervisor. Manages routine regulatory inspections for a site; leads initial incident response and reporting. Leads complex regulatory investigations; acts as primary contact for FRS/HSE on specific incidents.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Portfolio-Wide Insurance Premium Reduction
Demonstrable reduction in property and liability insurance premiums due to improved safety management and reduced risk profile.
Target · Achieve a 5-10% reduction in annual premiums over a 3-year period.

After implementing a new proactive maintenance programme and digital compliance system, our property insurance premium for the entire portfolio dropped by £250,000 this year.

Zero Enforcement Notices & Prosecutions
Maintain a clean record with regulatory bodies, ensuring no formal enforcement actions or prosecutions related to property safety.
Target · Zero enforcement notices or prosecutions from FRS, HSE, or local authorities.

Despite several routine inspections across our 100+ properties, we received zero enforcement notices from the Fire Service in the last financial year, reflecting robust compliance.

Major Incident Frequency Rate (MIFR)
The number of significant fire or safety incidents (e.g., those requiring FRS intervention, causing significant damage, or serious injury) per 100,000 hours worked or per 1,000 properties.
Target · Reduce MIFR by 15% year-on-year for the next three years, aiming for industry-leading benchmarks.

Our MIFR for fire incidents decreased from 0.08 to 0.06 per 1,000 properties this year, indicating a positive trend in proactive risk mitigation.

Digital Compliance System Adoption & Data Quality
Successful implementation and widespread adoption of enterprise-wide digital compliance platforms, ensuring high-quality, auditable data.
Target · Achieve 95% user adoption of the new CAFM/compliance system within 12 months, with a data accuracy score of 98% for critical fire safety assets.

Our new compliance dashboard now pulls 99% accurate data on fire door inspections across all regions, thanks to the successful rollout and training programme.

Executive & Board Confidence
The degree to which the Executive Team and Board of Directors trust your strategic guidance and feel fully informed on property safety risks.
  • You're proactively consulted on major property acquisitions or developments. Your quarterly Board reports are clear, concise, and lead to confident decision-making. Executive leadership regularly references your insights in public statements or investor calls, showing they value your input.
Regulatory Relationship & Proactive Engagement
Building and maintaining strong, transparent relationships with key regulatory bodies, positioning the company as a responsible industry leader.
  • You have direct, positive relationships with senior FRS and HSE contacts. Regulators seek your input on policy changes or industry best practices. We proactively share our safety initiatives, rather than waiting for inspections, which builds trust and goodwill.
Safety Culture & Leadership
Driving a pervasive safety-first culture throughout the organisation, where safety is seen as everyone's responsibility, not just yours.
  • Safety is a standing agenda item at all leadership meetings, not just an afterthought. Employees at all levels feel empowered to report hazards and suggest improvements. Our internal safety communications are engaging and lead to measurable behaviour change, like a reduction in fire door propping.
Strategic Contractor & Vendor Partnerships
Establishing and managing high-performing, long-term relationships with critical safety contractors and technology providers.
  • You negotiate favourable, long-term contracts with key fire safety contractors, ensuring consistent service quality and value. Our vendors see us as a strategic partner, not just a client, leading to better service and innovation. We're getting early access to new safety tech and insights because of these relationships.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Protecting People and Assets at Scale

You get a genuine sense of purpose from knowing your work directly contributes to the safety of thousands of occupants and safeguards significant property investments. This drives your strategic decisions and policy development.

Successfully implementing a new fire safety policy that significantly reduces false alarms across the portfolio, leading to safer buildings and less disruption for tenants.

Shaping Enterprise Strategy & Influence

You thrive on being a key voice at the executive table, influencing board-level decisions, and seeing your strategic vision for safety become a reality across the entire organisation. You love the challenge of getting buy-in for big, impactful initiatives.

Securing a multi-million pound budget approval for a portfolio-wide passive fire protection upgrade programme after presenting a compelling business case to the Board.

Navigating Complex Regulatory & Risk Landscapes

You enjoy the intellectual challenge of interpreting complex, evolving legislation (like the Building Safety Act) and translating it into practical, auditable frameworks for a diverse property portfolio. It's like a high-stakes puzzle you're constantly solving.

Developing a 'golden thread' strategy that ensures our compliance data is robust and auditable for all new and existing high-rise residential buildings, well ahead of regulatory deadlines.

What frustrates people
  • The constant battle for capital expenditure against projects with clearer, more immediate revenue-generating potential.
  • Dealing with the aftermath of poor decisions made by previous regimes or other departments that compromise safety.
  • The slow pace of organisational change when trying to embed new safety cultures or digital systems across a large, diverse workforce.
  • Having to justify fundamental safety investments to those who only see the cost, not the catastrophic risk it mitigates.
  • The sheer volume of regulatory changes and the constant need to interpret and implement them across a complex portfolio.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 job with no surprises; expect urgent, high-stakes issues to land on your desk.
  • The ability to make every safety decision unilaterally; you'll need to build consensus and influence.
  • A role where you're solely focused on technical fire safety; this is much broader, encompassing all property safety and compliance.
  • Instant gratification; many of your biggest wins will be long-term, strategic shifts that prevent future problems.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the safety culture and risk profile of the entire business unit. Your decisions influence multi-million pound budgets, protect the company from significant legal and financial liabilities, and directly impact the well-being of all building occupants. You're essentially the guardian of our physical assets and the people within them, which is a pretty big deal.

Inside the business

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Extensive (16+ years) senior leadership experience in property safety, fire safety, or health & safety within a large, multi-site real estate or facilities management organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience in setting and implementing enterprise-wide safety strategies and policies.
  • Proven track record of managing significant P&L responsibilities (multi-million pound budgets) for safety programmes.
  • Experience presenting to and influencing C-Suite executives and Board members on critical safety matters.
  • Deep understanding of UK fire safety and health & safety legislation, particularly the RRO and Building Safety Act.
  • Experience leading and developing large, geographically dispersed teams of safety professionals.

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Integration for Safety

Investors and stakeholders are increasingly demanding robust ESG reporting. Safety (the 'S' in ESG) is a huge component, and linking our safety performance to our broader sustainability goals will become critical for reputation, investment, and regulatory compliance. This is no longer just a 'nice to have'—it's a core business driver.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As a Director, your time is gold. You're not just managing; you're strategising, influencing, and leading a large function. AI isn't here to replace you, but to give you superpowers, letting you focus on the big, impactful decisions that only you can make.

Imagine cutting through the noise of endless reports, instantly understanding new legislation, and empowering your team to be more efficient. That's what AI can do for you in this role. It means less time sifting through data and more time shaping the future of property safety.

Automated Portfolio Risk Aggregation

Use an AI engine to pull data from all your CAFM, BMS, and audit systems across the entire portfolio. It'll automatically identify emerging risk trends, flag properties with deteriorating safety profiles, and even suggest proactive interventions, giving you a real-time, consolidated view of enterprise-wide risk without endless manual reporting.

Legislative Impact Analyser

Feed new or amended safety legislation (like updates to the Building Safety Act) into an advanced LLM. It'll not only summarise the key changes but also cross-reference them with your existing policies and property types, generating a tailored impact assessment and a preliminary action plan for your team. No more spending days on legal interpretation.

Predictive Compliance & Maintenance Optimiser

An AI tool analyses historical maintenance records, incident data, and asset performance to predict where and when fire safety equipment (e.g., alarm panels, sprinklers) is likely to fail or when a property might fall out of compliance. This lets you shift from reactive fixes to proactive, preventative maintenance and targeted audits, optimising your multi-million pound budget.

Executive Report & Communication Generator

Provide your AI assistant with raw data, key findings, and strategic recommendations. It'll draft polished, concise board reports, executive summaries, and even investor updates, tailored to the audience. You'll spend less time on drafting and more time refining the message and preparing for tough questions.
