Start Your Career with Vantage Strata

Are you ready to kick-start a rewarding career in a dynamic, people-focused industry, where no two days are the same?

Do you enjoy variety, problem-solving, juggling multiple priorities and making a real difference in the communities around you?

At Vantage Strata, we’re not just managing buildings – we’re creating stronger, more connected communities. And we’re looking for a motivated, values-driven Trainee Strata Manager to join our team and grow with us.

About Vantage Strata

Vantage Strata is a leading provider of Strata Management, Building Management and Facilities Management services in the Canberra region. Our team of experienced professionals are dedicated to managing properties and supporting our clients with the highest level of care and expertise.

We pride ourselves on our ability to tailor our services to the unique needs of each strata scheme, ensuring that our clients' properties are well‑maintained and their interests are protected. We practice our values in all that we do – Connection, Leadership and Authenticity – and we are looking for candidates whose values align with ours.

If this sounds like your next career move, we’d love to hear from you!

Why You’ll Love This Role

This isn’t your typical desk job. As a Trainee Strata Manager, you’ll learn on the job, manage real portfolios, connect with real people, and build real skills that will set you up for an exciting career.

Think of it as “professional problem-solving meets community building” — with plenty of support, training, and growth opportunities along the way. You’ll be supported by an experienced team, but trusted to take ownership, show initiative, and manage your responsibilities with confidence.

And yes - there are additional incentives beyond your base wage.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll manage a training portfolio of approximately 100–300 lots while you learn the ropes and grow your skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement legislative requirements for Owners Corporations.
• Ensure compliance with the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011.
• Prepare agendas, meeting notices, budgets and minutes.
• Respond to owners’, tenants’ and property managers’ enquiries.
• Liaise confidently with committees, contractors, debt collectors, solicitors, developers, builders and other stakeholders.
• Attend AGMs, general meetings, committee meetings and ACAT hearings when required.
• Conduct site visits and perform inspections.

Who We’re Looking For

You might be early in your career, changing industries, or building on existing customer-service or administrative experience. What matters most is your attitude! We’re looking for someone who is:

Organised & On the Ball

You can juggle multiple tasks, prioritise effectively, stay calm under pressure, and keep track of and remain attentive to details.

You’re confident with people, clear in your written communication, and enjoy building relationships.

A Team Player — Who Can Also Fly Solo

You collaborate well, learn from others, and contribute to a positive team culture.

You can also work independently, stay focused, and manage your own workload.

You align with our values of Connection, Leadership and Authenticity.

Practical Requirements

Reliable own transport (You’ll need it for site visits and inspections)

If you bring the enthusiasm, we’ll provide the training!
