The Duchy of Cornwall is on a mission to become a world-leading impact organisation, using its assets and convening power to deliver resilient, vibrant, and prosperous communities and ecosystems – now, and into the future. We create positive outcomes for people, nature and communities, as well as returns that are reinvested with purpose.
We’re looking for an experienced Rural Asset Manager to help deliver our vision for a nature-rich Dartmoor Estate, creating a positive impact for people, place and planet. Spanning over 63,000 acres, Dartmoor is the Duchy’s largest landholding and offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of an iconic upland landscape.
Reporting to the Head of Communities and Nature, you’ll lead the day-to-day management of the upland estate, building strong relationships with agricultural tenants, commoners, local communities and key partners. You’ll oversee rural property matters, including landlord and tenant issues, rent reviews, tenancy management, budgets and financial performance.
You’ll also play a key role in delivering the Duchy’s Nature Rich and Net Zero ambitions, working with tenants, commoners and partners on initiatives such as peatland restoration, regenerative agriculture and green finance. You’ll help respond to the Dartmoor Vision and represent the organisation across the wider rural community.
We’re looking for a commercially minded and collaborative rural property professional, ideally a Chartered Surveyor with post-qualification experience in rural estate management and upland farming. You’ll bring strong relationship-building skills and the ability to balance commercial priorities with environmental objectives.
So, if you’re passionate about the future of rural estates and want to help shape a nature-rich, sustainable Dartmoor, we’d love to hear from you! Please visit our careers page to apply.
Closing date: 23rd November 2026.
