UKO is expanding into Brisbane, and we’re looking for an ambitious Senior Community Manager to lead our new Brisbane Property. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in one of our most important growth markets: building local demand, converting enquiries into residents, leading an onsite team, and delivering an exceptional resident experience from first enquiry through to move-out.
This is an ideal role for someone who is performance-driven, independent and commercially minded, with a passion for building relationships, developing people and delivering results. It’s a chance to shape UKO’s presence in a new city and build your career in the living sector with one of Australia’s leading co-living and Build-to-Rent operators.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role. You’ll own leasing and community performance across the cluster, with real accountability for occupancy, revenue and resident satisfaction. And because this is co-living, the relationship doesn’t end at lease signing. You’ll be a visible, trusted leader for residents and your team alike.
What You’ll Do
Lead the cluster’s performance: own occupancy, conversion and revenue targets across the Brisbane cluster, manage the pipeline and prioritise activity to hit them.
Own the leasing cycle: oversee and personally drive enquiries, inspections, applications, lease negotiation and execution, and seamless move-ins. Conversion and speed-to-lease are your core measures of success.
Lead and develop the team: coach, support and set the standard for onsite Community and Leasing team members, building a high-performing, customer-first culture.
Launch and lease up: play a central role in mobilising new Brisbane properties, from pre-launch demand generation through to stabilised occupancy.
Build resident relationships: be a key point of contact from pre-arrival to departure, driving renewals, referrals and positive reviews.
Deliver community: plan and deliver the resident events and engagement that set UKO apart. A robust community is a full community.
Bring market insight: monitor Brisbane demand, competitor activity and pricing, and feed your on-the-ground view into pricing, campaign and reporting decisions.
What You’ll Bring
3+ years’ experience in residential leasing, property management, real estate, PBSA, BTR or co-living, with a proven record of converting enquiries into signed leases
Experience leading, mentoring or supervising a team, or a clear readiness to step into leadership
A current Queensland Real Estate Salesperson Registration Certificate or Real Estate Agent Licence, or willingness to obtain one quickly (we’ll fund the course)
Strong local knowledge of the Brisbane rental market
The confidence to run a leasing and community function autonomously and be accountable for results
Commercial acumen: comfortable working with targets, pricing and performance reporting
A genuine customer-service mindset. You enjoy dealing with residents and take pride in prompt, professional responses
Ambition to progress into Property, Cluster or Operations Manager roles
Why UKO
A rare chance to help build UKO’s presence in a new city from the ground up
Structured career progression. We promote from within, with a defined pathway into Cluster and Operations leadership roles
Ongoing training and certifications, funded by UKO
Regular team and resident events, wellness programs and an Employee Assistance Program
A supportive, high-performing team environment
