Are you an experienced Commercial Property Manager who prefers a thoughtful, client-focused approach over a high-volume, reactive portfolio? This is a rare opportunity to manage a quality portfolio of commercial and retail assets on behalf of private investors within a small, highly professional team.

The opportunity:
Working from modern offices in a the Inner Suburbs of Melbourne, you will manage a well-maintained portfolio of commercial and retail properties, dealing directly with landlords, tenants and contractors. The role can be shaped to suit an ambitious Commercial Property Manager with 1–3 years’ experience or a seasoned Senior Commercial Property Manager with 3+ years looking for genuine autonomy and close client relationships.

You will enjoy a stable, long-term client base, realistic workloads and a supportive environment that values accuracy, accountability and proactive asset management.

Day-to-day responsibilities:
Depending on your experience, your duties will include:

• Managing a portfolio of commercial and retail assets (metro, suburban and some rural/interstate).
• Conducting regular inspections, including vacant properties and scheduled annual inspections.
• Acting as a key contact for landlords, tenants and contractors, responding to enquiries promptly and professionally.
• Overseeing the lease lifecycle – implementation, tenant handover, renewals, options, rent reviews and end-of-lease processes.
• Tracking critical lease dates, managing arrears and enforcing lease obligations.
• Preparing and updating property reports, spreadsheets and monthly/quarterly client reports.
• Assisting with or preparing outgoings budgets and reconciliations (including audits at senior level).

• Contributing to continuous improvement of systems, processes and data management.
