Executive Assistant / Social Media & PR Coordinator

About Us

Lateral is a dynamic Real Estate Investment Manager founded in early 2020 by three commercially astute entrepreneurs to defy convention and reject the generic strategies employed by many. We deliver inventive, purposeful, and sustainably designed commercial property that drives value and social impact for investor and occupier alike.

We are expanding our portfolio at pace, whilst preparing to launch Ampers&, a pioneering cloud-based web solution to future-proof office investment and respond to environmental requirements, technological advances, and dynamic ways of working.
