Vision
To be the UK's leading digital infrastructure partner, enabling a fully connected future
Mission
Deliver reliable, high quality site access, infrastructure and services that support our customers' evolving connectivity needs.
About us
For almost two decades, Cornerstone's infrastructure has quietly supported the UK's mobile networks. Whilst we continue to strengthen that foundation and extend its reach, we are in an exciting period of acceleration and product development that will see us enable more connectivity and compute to more communities and industries across the UK.
Role Overview
You'll be the go‑to person for big, complex estate partners – think Network Rail, TfL, utilities, councils and airports – building long‑term relationships and landing the deals that keep our sites live (and growing). You will negotiate acquisitions and renewals, steer estate management, and serve as the calm escalation point when commercial or property issues heat up. You will also spot new ways to unlock value across portfolios (site‑sharing, smart collaborations, better use of real estate) and drive projects from idea to delivery on time, on budget and to a high standard.
Why This Role Matters
Our network only works if we have the right sites, in the right places, on the right terms and that is what this role protects and unlocks. You will keep critical portfolios secure and service‑ready, turning complex property negotiations into continuity for our customers and confidence for our shareholders. Just as importantly, you will spot smarter ways to use real estate, improve how we deliver, and help the business grow faster, safer and more efficiently.
What You’ll Do
- Lead senior relationships with portfolio providers; negotiate frameworks and Code agreements.
- Own the end‑to‑end programme: renewals, acquisitions, upgrades and transactions – protecting tenure and continuity.
- Drive performance: delivery, governance, forecasting and Capex/Opex targets with clear visibility of progress.
- Keep the portfolio commercially healthy: P&L focus, value unlocks, and cost control.
- Be the main escalation point – solve issues fast and keep stakeholders aligned.
- Partner closely with Property, Estates, Legal, Finance and Operations to get deals done smoothly.
- Improve how we work: process tweaks, governance upgrades and supplier performance management.
- Manage risk and compliance (company standards, H&S, environment, BC and info security) to avoid surprises and extra costs.
What You’ll Bring
- Considerable telecoms property functional knowledge gained from working in a mobile network environment.
- Experience of telecoms asset management and/or site portfolio management (preferred).
- Extensive experience delivering material volumes of sites against agreed targets.
- Considerable experience managing 3rd‑party suppliers.
- Experience working under pressure in a complex and changing environment.
- Knowledge of property litigation, including the Electronic Communications Code and Landlord & Tenant Act legislation in the UK.
- Commercially astute.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to manage stakeholders of varying levels and across matrix organisations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Sound negotiation skills.
- Strong planning and organisational ability to deliver business results.
Why Join Us
- Competitive salary and an excellent bonus structure.
- 30 days’ annual leave.
- Competitive pension scheme and life insurance.
- Hybrid working to help balance work and home life.
- Private medical insurance including dental and optical cover.
- Cycle to Work scheme, Electric Car scheme and retail discounts.
- Generous refer‑a‑friend scheme.
Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Our commitment to EDI is fundamental to our success. We cultivate an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued, respected and empowered. By embracing unique perspectives and experiences, we drive innovation and advance our organisation.
