Launch Manager, Data & Reconciliation

Dwelly is a UK-based, AI-enabled lettings and property management platform focused on acquiring estate agencies and improving operational efficiency. The Launch Manager, Data & Reconciliation will oversee the client money and reconciliation aspects of post-acquisition integrations, ensuring accurate financial data migration and compliance during the process.

Responsibilities:

• Go into newly acquired branches in the first one to two weeks post-completion to assess the state of the client ledger, working hand-in-glove with the Head of Integrations and the assigned Integration Manager
• Identify reconciliation, regulatory, or data integrity issues before migration begins, and surface the top risks within 48 hours of access
• Act as Dwelly's voice of authority on client money and CMP risk — push back when something isn't right and escalate early
• Hold the line with former owner-operators who are convinced their ledger is 'fine' when it clearly is not. Communicate honestly and without drama
• Clean, reconcile, and validate client ledger data so it can be exported and migrated into Dwelly's platform without errors or downstream issues
• Translate legacy CRM exports (Reapit, Jupix, AgentPro, Acquaint, LetMC, Alto, Vebra, PayProp) into Dwelly's data model with a full audit trail
• Coordinate with the previous owner's bookkeeper, branch staff, and Dwelly's product and engineering teams to close gaps in the source data
• Track migration-readiness and ledger-health metrics per deal and feed them back into Dwelly's M&A diligence and integration playbook
• Produce combined tax summary deliverables for landlords at point of migration, covering both pre and post-migration periods, in a format suitable for self-assessment and MTD for ITSA-ready reporting
• Explain those summaries clearly to landlords who have never used self-assessment software — plain English, no jargon, total numbers they can verify
• Build the reporting templates that scale across the Dwelly family, not one-off spreadsheets per deal
• Sit in product discovery sessions and review what gets built. You operate as a peer to PMs and engineers, not as a separate function
• Write the rules, the mapping logic, and the validation checks that let Dwelly's platform handle more of this work itself over time
• Decide what should be automated and, equally importantly, what should not. Risk and regulatory judgement stay with humans; the keystrokes go to the platform
• Help shape the AI-first transition for client money operations across the wider Finance and Operations function
• Codify everything you learn into reusable templates, mapping documents, and SOPs. Each integration should make the next one faster, and the system itself should absorb more of the work over time
• Run a living list of patterns and edge cases — what's unique to a deal versus what will repeat — and convert the repeating ones into rules the platform owns
• Help size and shape the next accounting and migration hires for Integrations as deal volume grows. You are the founding hire — you build the team behind you
• Travel extensively across the UK, typically spending 2-3 months at a time (typically a few days a week) in various locations to ensure hands-on support for integration processes
• Flexibility to adapt to diverse regional teams, fostering a collaborative environment with a deep understanding of local business nuances
