Conveyancing Operations Manager - Cheadle Hulme

Are you an experienced conveyancing professional ready to step up into a senior operations role?

This is a fantastic chance to join a growing, close-knit law firm in Cheadle Hulme and take the reins of its Residential Property department.

You'll oversee three busy teams - Instructions, Fee Earners, and Post-Completions - ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Working directly with the Managing Partner, you'll play a key role in shaping processes, driving performance, and delivering a first-class client service.

While your main focus will be operations and leadership, there is also an option for you to also handle a small caseload of complex property matters to keep your technical skills sharp.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Managing day-to-day operations across Instructions, Fee Earners, and Post-Completions
• Supporting and mentoring staff to get the best from the team
• Overseeing workflows, deadlines, and client care standards
• Handling a small caseload of complex residential property files
• Working alongside the Managing Partner to improve processes and strategy
• Ensuring compliance and risk management are maintained

What We're Looking For:

• Solid background in residential conveyancing - private client experience would also be a big plus!
• Previous management or team leader experience within property law
• Strong knowledge of the full conveyancing process
• Excellent communication and leadership skills

What's on Offer:

• A senior management role in a supportive, growing firm
• Flexible working options available
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Direct involvement with the Managing Partner and firm strategy
• A small firm environment where your input really makes a difference
