You’ll serve as the main point of contact for residents, lead a small on-site team, coordinate maintenance and building services, and ensure the property is running smoothly. If you're a highly organized, people-focused leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and takes pride in delivering top-tier residential experiences, this role is for you.

Who You Are

  • You know what it takes to manage a building end-to-end — from operations and compliance to resident care and team support.
  • You’re confident in leading, navigating tenant relations, and responding quickly to issues — all while keeping your properties clean, safe, and fully operational.
  • You lead by example, communicate clearly, and bring a sense of ownership and accountability to everything you do.

  • Strong knowledge of residential property operations, maintenance coordination, and building systems
  • Proven leadership skills, with the ability to supervise, train, and motivate on-site teams
  • Solid understanding of the Residential Tenancies Act and other relevant housing legislation
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook); familiarity with Yardi or other property management systems is an asset
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a focus on customer service and problem-solving
  • Highly organized with strong time management and attention to detail
  • Flexibility to manage after-hours emergencies as needed
  • High school diploma (GED) required; post-secondary education or equivalent experience is a strong asset
  • Multilingualism is considered a strong asset
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in your everyday work
