WHY ASTURIAS IS A SPECIAL PLACE ¿Es este el siguiente paso en su carrera? Descubra si es el candidato adecuado leyendo la descripción completa a continuación. Asturias is one of the most picturesque natural regions in northern Spain. Wild mountain ranges, glacial lakes and Picos de Europa Park are all nearby; the mountain river Sella flows close by, while the Atlantic coast offers spacious, peaceful and beautiful beaches. Pure mountain air, spring water and unspoilt nature create a rare environment for living, relaxation and active longevity. At the same time, living surrounded by nature does not mean giving up everyday comfort. Airports, historic towns, high-quality clinics and hospitals, hypermarkets, shopping and entertainment centres, Michelin-starred restaurants, service providers, beaches and promenades are all within convenient driving distance. This makes it possible to combine peace and privacy with full modern infrastructure. OUR OFFER We are offering more than simply a manager position. We offer the opportunity to live and work in a beautiful, peaceful and genuinely healthy environment, to manage a real estate household and to be responsible for the preservation, order and flawless operation of a small private estate. The estate covers just over 20 hectares. The total residential area of the five buildings is less than 1,000 m2. The staff consists of 6 highly professional specialists: a fully established, experienced and highly capable team that already knows the property, its functions and responsibilities. We offer more than just a job We offer the opportunity to live and work in one of the most beautiful and ecologically unique places in Spain and Europe. Why this job can be genuinely interesting: The private estate is located in Asturias, within a biosphere reserve surrounded by green mountains, the ocean with exceptionally clean beaches, a mountain river loved by European kayaking champions, pure mountain air, silence and real nature. Here you can live with your family, work in a calm environment and leave behind the commercial race of constantly searching for new business solutions in today's difficult world. With a clear mind, love of nature, a strong sense of responsibility and diligence, it is entirely possible to successfully maintain five separate buildings and the surrounding park in a safe, immaculate, technically sound and clean condition. We offer our manager-administrator remuneration above the standard level paid to many commercial property managers, although the nature of the role is fundamentally different. A commercial property manager must constantly think about increasing profit: where and how to attract new clients, create additional sources of revenue, reduce costs and, often most difficult of all, find staff who are capable of and genuinely willing to deliver the required level of performance. At our estate, commercial results are not the manager's responsibility. The manager's task is to maintain the owner's established standards of quality, preservation and flawless condition of what is effectively a new property, including the buildings, engineering systems, machinery and equipment of a recently commissioned estate. The manager must provide such high-quality administrative and operational management of the private residence that the owner is completely relieved of the daily operational burden: the need to personally inspect the property, notice the same problems, issue instructions and then repeatedly check whether they were carried out in the right place, at the right time and exactly as instructed. The estate is already equipped with first-class staff and first-class equipment. A highly professional team of six specialists has been working on the property effectively and professionally for more than two years, has proved itself extremely well and is ready to continue. Recruitment is not currently required. What the property lacks today is only a strong manager-administrator — a good commander who clearly understands the Purpose of the estate, understands the owner's key objectives, knows five-star hotel standards and is able to translate the owner's requirements into those standards and implement them. Because there are no clearly formalised procedures and each role is multi-functional, employees constantly become confused about priorities, sequence, stages and required standards. They need a manager who can clearly define who must do what, when, in what sequence and to what standard. The manager must then be able to reflect all of this precisely and firmly in the relevant procedures and specific job descriptions, and professionally implement them together with an appropriate performance assessment and motivation system that ensures effective execution in practice. We would like to find a like-minded person — someone who values respect for nature and people, order, quality and a true sense of ownership and responsibility. Someone who can truly become part of this place and, through their knowledge and energy, make it even warmer, more beautiful, better organised and richer in substance — for the shared enjoyment of the team and the clients. We are not simply looking for a Manager; above all, we are looking for a like-minded person who shares our respectful and caring attitude towards the environment, people, commitments and universal human values. An honest person and a genuine manager, not an office bureaucrat. A like-minded person who is able to recognise honest and considerate treatment from their employer. In return, we hope to have beside us an equally honest, hardworking person and responsible manager for whom it would be unthinkable not to reciprocate that respect towards the employer and the commitments undertaken. Who we are looking for It is not essential that you have previously worked specifically as the manager of a private estate. It is not essential what you have successfully managed before: construction or manufacturing, a car service business or a hotel, a technical service department or another complex facility. What is essential is that our manager-administrator is not an office bureaucrat with an impressive list of job titles. We are looking for a hands-on, "field" manager. If choosing between a "manager" with three Harvard degrees who spends all day calculating their own market value and an intelligent, hardworking, self-taught manager and good administrator, we will choose the latter — someone who: 1) has already achieved a serious result somewhere, in something; 2) through diligence and the use of modern AI technologies, is able to find an answer, a solution or understand any current or new problem without creating difficulties for the employer, even when encountering it for the first time. What matters to us is a proven track record of results: what exactly you have already created, launched, rebuilt, repaired, organised and brought to completion. We believe in a person with successful management experience who has already proved that they can work with their head, feet and eyes, with people and with processes. Most importantly, someone who can modestly and successfully solve tasks and problems rather than become yet another problem for their employer. Terms • Salary: €120,000/year (gross), • Bonuses: quarterly bonuses totalling up to €40,000 per year — subject to the absence of justified complaints, completion of agreed plans and high-quality staff performance., • Additional benefit: Salary, bonuses, requirements for experience and qualifications, as well as key responsibilities, do not depend on the level of income or profitability of the owner's estate, because this is not a requirement of the position. The priorities are solely preservation of the property, proper functioning of everything on site, cleanliness and order. Quarterly bonuses are paid for the quality of property management — absence of justified complaints, completion of agreed plans, reliable staff performance, preservation of the property, proper functioning of engineering systems, cleanliness and order. The amount and payment of the bonus do not depend on sales, revenue, profit or profitability of the estate, because commercial performance is not part of this role. The manager is responsible not for business development, but for the flawless condition of the property and the stable operation of the entire estate., • Accommodation: a separate, new, large and comfortable house on the estate is provided. House provided for the manager's accommodation, • Additional benefits: meals, paid holiday, medical insurance., • Additional benefit: the owner is present only 3–4 months per year.
