About the Business

Our client is one of Victoria’s most active private greenfield developers, with a large residential land pipeline across Melbourne’s growth corridors. Alongside its residential core, the business is moving into build-to-rent, industrial and commercial, and data centres. The build-to-rent platform is backed by the developer and a major capital partner co-investing alongside it.

The Role

There are no homes under management yet. The first homes are in the development pipeline, mostly across Melbourne’s growth corridors. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you’ll set up the property management business, choose the systems and shape the resident experience from scratch. As the portfolio grows, you’ll recruit and lead the team. The plan is to run the platform in-house over the long term.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Developing and implementing the property management and leasing strategy, operating procedures and governance frameworks
- Evaluating and selecting the property management software, leasing platform and resident app
- Establishing leasing and resident processes and shaping the customer experience, including partnerships that strengthen the resident offer
- Overseeing day-to-day operations as homes come online, including inspections, maintenance, contractors and compliance with Victorian rental laws
- Driving occupancy, retention and resident satisfaction, backed by portfolio reporting, forecasting and performance management
- Providing acquisition due diligence and operational input into future projects




- Recruiting and building the property management, leasing and resident services teams as the portfolio expands

What We’re Looking For

- Senior property management experience, ideally in build-to-rent, multifamily or large-scale residential portfolios
- A track record of establishing or scaling a property management function, including systems selection, procedures and governance
- Strong working knowledge of Victorian rental laws and compliance
- A commercial, data-driven approach to reporting, forecasting, occupancy and retention
- Comfort being hands-on without a large team in the early stages
- The leadership capability to recruit and develop a team, with a customer-first mindset

What’s On Offer

- The chance to build a build-to-rent platform from scratch, with no legacy systems or setup to work around
- A direct reporting line to the Managing Director
- A transparent path from a hands-on start to leading a team as the portfolio scales
- The backing of an established developer and a co-investing capital partner, with a long-term vision for a significant portfolio
