About the Role

Our client, a national real estate investment and management firm, is looking for a highly experienced Senior Commercial Property Manager to join their fully remote operations team. This role is responsible for the strategic oversight and operational management of a significant portfolio of commercial properties, focusing on maximizing asset value and tenant satisfaction. Operating in a remote-first capacity, you will leverage advanced technology and digital communication tools to manage properties and collaborate with cross-functional teams, vendors, and tenants. The ideal candidate possesses extensive experience in commercial property management, strong financial acumen, exceptional leadership skills, and the ability to thrive independently. This position offers the unique advantage of managing a critical portfolio without the need for daily office commutes, contributing to impactful decisions from your home office. We are dedicated to building a high-performing, remote-centric team committed to excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the complete management lifecycle of a diverse portfolio of commercial properties, ensuring optimal operational performance and financial health.
• Develop and implement strategic property management plans to enhance asset value, minimize vacancies, and maximize profitability.
• Manage all aspects of tenant relations, including lease administration, rent collection, and ensuring tenant satisfaction and retention.
• Coordinate and supervise all property maintenance, repairs, capital projects, and routine inspections, ensuring properties are well-maintained and compliant with safety standards.
• Develop and manage annual operating budgets for each property, closely monitoring expenses and forecasting future needs.
• Conduct regular financial analysis of property performance, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Source, negotiate, and manage contracts with third-party vendors and service providers.
• Ensure strict compliance with all relevant laws, regulations, and lease agreements.
• Prepare comprehensive financial reports, performance reviews, and strategic recommendations for senior management.
• Lead and mentor junior property management staff, fostering a culture of accountability and high performance within the remote team structure.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field.
• Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in commercial property management, with a strong track record of success.
• In-depth knowledge of commercial real estate operations, leasing, financial management, and market trends.
• Proven experience in developing and executing strategic property management plans.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in property management software (e.g., Yardi, MRI) and advanced Excel capabilities.
• Strong understanding of building systems, maintenance protocols, and capital expenditure planning.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage complex tasks, and deliver results in a remote environment.
• Familiarity with the Northern Cape commercial property market is an advantage but not essential due to the remote nature.
• Professional certifications such as CCIM or RPA are highly desirable.

Benefits

• This fully remote position offers an exceptionally competitive salary, significant bonus potential based on portfolio performance, and a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, retirement contributions, and life assurance.
• Employees receive a home office stipend to create an optimal work environment.
• Opportunities for advanced professional development, including specialized training and certifications, are readily available.
• As a remote-first organization, our client prioritizes work-life balance, flexibility, and a culture of trust and empowerment.
• This role provides substantial autonomy and the chance to make a significant impact on a large-scale commercial property portfolio from anywhere.
• Career advancement opportunities within a leading national real estate firm are excellent.
