Estate Manager/Management Couple

Are you an experienced Estate Manager or Management Couple with experience running a rural shooting estate?

An exceptional opportunity has come up to take a senior leadership role on a prestigious private partridge shooting estate in the mountains of Valencia.

Two people are ideally required, although an exceptional individual with the right experience may also be considered.

Set in a spectacular and remote mountain environment, this is a rare opportunity to live and work in one of Spain's most beautiful rural landscapes, with fantastic hiking, mountain biking and countryside on your doorstep.

We are looking for an experienced estate professional or couple to take responsibility for the overall management and operation of the estate. This is a senior role and is about much more than gamekeeping, with responsibility for the wider estate, including staff, budgets, planning and day-to-day operations.

Key responsibilities

• Overall day-to-day management of the estate
• Partridge and habitat management
• Planning and delivering shoot days and client experiences
• Managing estate staff, gamekeepers and seasonal teams
• Estate infrastructure, vehicles, equipment and accommodation
• Budgets, procurement and financial management
• Agricultural and conservation activities
• H&S and environmental compliance
• Managing relationships with clients, suppliers, sporting agents and local authorities

About you

You will ideally have:

• Proven experience managing a rural, sporting or agricultural estate
• Senior-level management experience
• Strong budget and financial management skills
• Experience managing staff, contractors and suppliers
• A practical, hands-on approach with strong organisational skills
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to take ownership
• Experience within a shooting estate or sporting operation would be highly advantageous

For a couple, we are open to complementary skills, whether that is estate management, gamekeeping, sporting, agricultural or operational experience.

The opportunity

• High-quality furnished accommodation on the estate
• Bills and utilities included
• Company vehicle
• Stunning remote mountain location
• Senior leadership position
• Opportunity to live and work in rural Valencia

Fluent Spanish and English are essential, and candidates must already have the right to live and work in Spain. Visa sponsorship is not available, although some assistance with the application process may be considered for those already eligible.

If you're an experienced estate professional or an established couple looking for a rare opportunity to take the lead at an exceptional sporting estate in Spain, we'd love to hear from you.
