Conveyancing Operations Manager

Cheshire – £45,000 - £70,000

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
