Senior Property & Leasing Manager

Melbourne CBD | to $110,000 + Super

Why This Role Matters

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Property Manager or Leasing Manager to step into the Build-to-Rent and Co-Living sector — without losing the operational responsibility, commercial focus, or autonomy that senior property professionals value.

You’ll take ownership of a high-quality, professionally managed residential asset, responsible for leasing performance, day-to-day operations, compliance, and resident experience. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys running a building, driving occupancy, and being the face of the asset.

If you’re currently in residential property, leasing, or a mixed-use environment and looking to move into a more sophisticated, asset-focused model, this role offers genuine progression.

The Experience You’ll Build Here

Reporting into senior operations leadership, you will have end-to-end accountability for the performance of the asset, balancing leasing outcomes with strong operational discipline and service delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

Leasing & Revenue

  • Driving leasing activity to maximise occupancy and minimise vacancy

  • Conducting inspections and managing the enquiry-to-move-in process

  • Monitoring pricing, competitor activity, and local market conditions

  • Managing arrears and contributing to revenue and leasing forecasts

Property Operations

  • Overseeing daily operations to ensure the building is compliant, safe, and well-presented

  • Managing inspections (ingoing, outgoing, routine)

  • Coordinating contractors and service providers

  • Working closely with facilities teams to resolve maintenance issues efficiently

  • Using property systems (e.g. Yardi) to manage reporting and workflows

Resident Experience

  • Managing the resident journey from move-in to renewal or exit

  • Handling resident enquiries professionally and proactively

  • Supporting a positive, respectful, and well-run residential environment

  • Contributing to resident satisfaction, retention, and overall asset reputation

The Perfect Fit

This role is ideally suited to someone with a strong property or leasing background who is ready to step into a Build-to-Rent style environment.

You’ll likely bring:

  • Experience in property management, leasing, residential operations, or accommodation

  • Strong commercial awareness around occupancy, pricing, and revenue

  • Confidence managing a building autonomously

  • A professional, service-oriented approach to residents and stakeholders

  • Excellent organisation, follow-up, and attention to detail

Exposure to BTR, co-living, student accommodation, or hospitality-led residential environments is advantageous but not essential.

A Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice is desirable but not mandatory.
