One Executive Search is representing an established and highly regarded privately owned property business with a significant portfolio of commercial assets across Melbourne’s north-west. We are seeking an experienced Property Manager / Leasing Manager to take ownership of a diverse portfolio spanning retail, large-format and service-based property, together with selected industrial assets.

This is a genuine senior property role with considerable autonomy and commercial responsibility. Rather than simply administering a portfolio, you will manage key tenant relationships, lead lease negotiations and renewals, assess commercial opportunities and risks, and work closely with senior management and specialist teams across finance, legal, facilities and development. The portfolio includes everything from major national and institutional occupiers through to privately owned businesses, providing considerable variety in both the property and stakeholder environment.

The Role

Key responsibilities will include

- Managing a substantial portfolio of retail, commercial and industrial properties.
- Leading lease renewals, new leases, rent reviews, assignments, licences, surrenders and other commercial negotiations.
- Developing strong relationships with tenants and proactively managing retention, lease expiries and emerging commercial risks.
- Preparing financial analysis, including discounted cashflows, market comparisons and commercial recommendations.
- Managing budgets, lease obligations, critical dates and portfolio compliance.
- Working closely with internal Legal, Finance, Facilities and Development teams on property and tenant matters.
- Contributing to the handover, repositioning and future development of assets within the portfolio.





About You We are open to candidates coming from either the agency or landlord side. You may currently be working within a commercial property agency and looking for the opportunity to move client-side and become deeply involved with one owner and one portfolio. Equally, you may already be working for a property owner, developer, fund, shopping-centre group or other landlord-side organisation.

Ideally, you will bring:

- Significant commercial property management and leasing experience.
- Strong exposure to retail property, whether shopping centres, large-format retail, strip retail, mixed-use or other customer-facing commercial assets.
- Proven experience personally negotiating lease transactions and renewals.
- A good understanding of the Retail Leases Act and commercial leasing fundamentals.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen.
- Confidence dealing with sophisticated corporate tenants as well as smaller privately owned businesses.
- A mature, practical and resilient style, with the ability to manage competing priorities and difficult conversations when required.
- A collaborative, low-ego approach and the judgement to know when to act autonomously and when to engage broader stakeholders.

This chance should particularly appeal to someone who enjoys being close to the assets and tenants, wants broader commercial responsibility and would value moving away from managing multiple landlords to becoming an integral part of an owner-side property team. The Offer The role is based in the Tullamarine area of Melbourne and is primarily office/site based, with some flexibility available by agreement. Remuneration is up to $180,000 including superannuation, plus a discretionary bonus.
