Senior Property Manager – Build-to-Rent Gold Coast
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Property Manager to move into the rapidly growing Build-to-Rent sector and join the onsite team at a large residential community on the Gold Coast.Build-to-Rent is changing the way residential communities are managed in Australia.
Rather than managing properties for hundreds of individual landlords, the entire community is professionally operated on behalf of a single institutional owner.
For Property Managers, that means no competing landlord demands, greater consistency in decision-making and more time to focus on residents, operational standards and the overall performance of the community.
The opportunity
You will take responsibility for the property management function across approximately 300 apartments, working as part of a dedicated onsite team.
This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who understands residential property management but is looking for a broader and more professional operating environment.
You will play an significant role in ensuring residents receive a high-quality service while maintaining strong compliance, arrears, reporting and tenancy management standards.

Why Build-to-Rent?
Build-to-Rent offers a very different career path from traditional property management.
The entire asset is owned by one owner and operated as one professionally managed community.

It is a more collaborative, service-led and operationally focused environment, with clear opportunities for career progression as the Build-to-Rent sector continues to expand across Australia.
