Nova Property Management Experts is hiring a General Licensed Condominium Manager to lead a portfolio of condominium corporations in Ottawa, supported by a Limited Licensed Condominium Manager. This role suits an experienced manager with a track record of doing this work well, and we look forward to hearing what you’ve accomplished.

How We Work

Nova runs on a team model, which is not the norm in the Ottawa market. Each General Licensee is grouped with a Limited Licensee as well as a support team, and our managers share knowledge, back each other up and work closely with leadership. If you do your best work as part of a team, sharing ideas, supporting colleagues and solving problems together, you’ll feel right at home here.

The role starts in office, with a hybrid option available after probation. Our managers enjoy being in the office together, and we’re looking for someone who values that day-to-day collaboration as much as we do.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading your Board relationships: preparing agendas and management reports, attending Board meetings (including evenings), and giving Directors clear, sound advice
• Preparing and managing budgets, and overseeing capital projects from planning through completion
• Coordinating vendors and contractors on larger and more complex work
• Owning escalated issues and the more complex files in your portfolio
• Directing and delegating to your Limited Licensed Manager, who supports preventative maintenance and day-to-day operations
• Ensuring each corporation is managed in accordance with the Condominium Act, 1998, its governing documents and applicable legislation
• Responding to owners and residents promptly and professionally, and keeping accurate records
• Taking part in the on-call rotation

What You Bring

• CMRAO General Licence in good standing
• Proven experience managing Ontario condominium corporations as the lead manager on your files
• Board experience: you have run meetings, written management reports and handled difficult conversations with Directors
• Budget and capital project experience: you have built budgets and seen major projects through to completion
• Working knowledge of condominium legislation and governance, including the Condominium Act, 1998
• Experience directing others: you delegate clearly, stay accountable for the result and work well as part of a team
• Strong follow-through: you take ownership of your files, manage competing priorities and see things through
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Valid driver’s licence and access to a vehicle
• Availability for evening Board meetings and on-call coverage
