7d ago , from Illawarra Mercury Job Board

UKO is expanding, and we're looking for an ambitious Casual Leasing Specialist to help drive the successful lease-up of our newest Dee Why community. This is an exciting chance to play a key role in launching one of our newest developments by generating local demand, converting enquiries into residents, and delivering an exceptional leasing experience.

This is a casual position offering flexible part-time hours based on business requirements. It's an ideal role for someone looking for flexibility while gaining hands‑on experience with a high-profile property launch and growing their career with one of Australia's leading co‑living and Build-to-Rent operators.

This is not a support role. You'll run the leasing process end to end, from first enquiry through to move‑in, with real accountability for occupancy and conversion. And because this is co‑living, the relationship doesn't end at lease signing — you'll be a visible, trusted presence for residents throughout their stay.

What You'll Do

- Own the leasing cycle — manage enquiries, run inspections, qualify and progress applications, negotiate and execute leases, and coordinate seamless move‑ins. Conversion and speed‑to‑lease are your measures of success.

- Drive occupancy and revenue — manage your own pipeline and prioritise activity against occupancy and revenue targets.

- Build resident relationships — be a key point of contact from pre‑arrival to departure, building the relationships that drive renewals, referrals and positive reviews.





- Support community — help deliver the resident events and engagement that set UKO apart. A strong community is a full community.

- Bring market insight — monitor demand, competitor activity and pricing, and feed your on‑the‑ground view into pricing and campaign decisions.

What You'll Bring

- Experience in residential leasing, real estate, PBSA, BTR or co‑living, with a record of converting enquiries into signed leases (2+ years preferred)

- A current NSW Certificate of Registration or Class 2 Real Estate Licence — or willingness to obtain one quickly (we'll fund the course)

- The confidence to run a leasing function autonomously and be accountable for results

- A genuine customer‑service mindset — you enjoy dealing with residents and take pride in prompt, professional responses

- Ambition to progress into property and community management

Why UKO

- Structured career progression — we promote from within, with a defined pathway into Property & Community Manager roles

- Ongoing training and certifications, funded by UKO

- Regular team and resident events, wellness programmes and an Employee Assistance Programme

- A supportive, high‑performing team environment
