Property Manager

Job description

We have partnered with a privately owned Sydney property group that owns, operates, and manages a portfolio of retail and industrial assets for the long term. Their portfolio spans an established retail centre and a growing industrial estate across Sydney, and the business is in an active growth phase. New stages are coming online, and the team is growing to match. The role This is a genuine end-to-end property management role across two assets, not one slice of a much larger portfolio. You will own the day-to-day performance of an established retail centre and a growing industrial estate, reporting directly to the Head of Asset Management rather than into a layer of management above you. Systems and process are still maturing, including a live reporting and finance system migration. You will not be stepping into a finished machine, and the right person will help build how the portfolio is run rather than simply operate what already exists. What you'll do - Own budgeting, forecasting, and financial performance across a retail centre and an industrial estate - Steer leasing alongside the asset team, working closely with agents and tenant representatives - Manage the day-to-day presentation and performance of both assets - Act as the direct link between the centre team and senior management, including input into development meetings and recommendations that go to the directors - Drive cost mitigation and process improvement, including a live systems migration and new reporting structures - Build genuine relationships with tenants, leasing agents, and other stakeholders across a growing portfolio What you'll bring - Several years of property management experience, ideally across retail and industrial assets - A genuine track record in budgeting, forecasting, and driving financial performance, not just monitoring it - Comfort working directly with leasing agents, tenant representatives, and other external stakeholders - The ability to work well with people above and below you, without needing a fixed hierarchy to feel comfortable - A builder mentality, someone who is comfortable improving systems and process that are still maturing, rather than expecting a finished playbook Who this role is for You are several years into a property management career and ready to own a portfolio directly, rather than administer someone else's decisions. You are motivated by scope and access, not by a bigger title on a business card. You want real exposure to the people making decisions about the business, and you are comfortable building a process where it does not yet exist. This role is not for you if: - You are coming from a large, process-heavy institutional landlord and expect a fully mature system to step into - Title matters more to you than the actual scope and ownership on offer - You are looking for a stepping stone, or a lever to use elsewhere - You expect to be handed a finished playbook rather than help build one - You are early in your property career and still building your fundamentals Why you'll love working here - Genuine end-to-end ownership of two assets, not one slice of a much larger portfolio - A direct reporting line to the Head of Asset Management, with real access to the people making decisions - A retail centre with real momentum behind it following a recently completed expansion, alongside an industrial estate entering its next stage of growth - A privately owned business with long-term thinking, not managing on behalf of a fund - A credible path to grow into a broader remit across both assets as the portfolio matures, for the person who performs Ready to apply?
