My client is a well-established, privately held real estate group with a growing high-value residential portfolio, including newly onboarded properties that are actively being integrated and optimized.

They are seeking a Residential Senior Property Manager for their Calgary office (very accessible, central southeast location) — a licensed professional who brings a strong blend of operational expertise, financial acumen and authentic leadership to their growing portfolio.

This is an opportunity for someone who not only knows how to run a portfolio, but who is equally motivated by the ability to collaborate, improve, and elevate how things are done.

The Opportunity

In this role, you will take ownership of a residential portfolio, ensuring it performs operationally, financially, and experientially.

You will step into an environment where there is momentum and growth, requiring someone who can think beyond the day-to-day — someone who naturally identifies opportunities to improve processes, create efficiencies, and elevate outcomes.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Leading the day-to-day operations of a residential portfolio

Driving leasing performance and proactively addressing vacancy

Building strong, trust-based tenant relationships

Partnering with leasing, maintenance, and administration to ensure alignment and execution

Owning budgets, financial performance, monthly reviews, and forecasting

Supporting the integration and stabilization of newly onboarded properties

Being present in your buildings — ensuring quality, standards, and expectations are managed well

Where You’ll Add Value:

Bringing a collaborative, quality-focused mindset to everything you do

Generating ideas that improve processes, create efficiencies, and elevate portfolio performance

Leading and motivating team members through authentic, people-first leadership

Strengthening communication across the team to ensure alignment toward common goals

Acting as a trusted partner to ownership — contributing beyond execution

What You Bring:

You hold a valid Real Estate License (required)

You bring 5+ years of direct Property Manager experience (beyond Coordinator/Administrator roles)

You have strong financial acumen, with confidence in budgeting, reporting, and forecasting

You demonstrate a genuine desire to lead, motivate, and support a team

You operate with a collaborative, “we vs. I” mindset

You are self-aware and emotionally mature, with the ability to build relationships across a variety of personalities

You understand the importance of clear, consistent team communication to drive results

You take pride in delivering quality outcomes, not just completing tasks

The Environment – Do You Align?

This is a privately held, entrepreneurial organization where:

– Collaboration is expected — not optional

– Ideas are welcomed and acted upon

– Quality and accountability go hand-in-hand

– There is opportunity to grow your influence as the portfolio evolves

It’s an environment suited to someone who wants to contribute meaningfully, work as part of a team, and continuously improve what’s in front of them.  You won’t just be stepping into a steady-state portfolio.

You’ll be:

– Contributing to a portfolio that is evolving and growing

– Helping shape processes and efficiencies

– Working alongside a team that values communication, collaboration, and shared success

CONFIDENTIALITY & INCLUSION

All conversations will be held in the strictest of confidence.

Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Canada and reside in the Calgary area.

Candidates considered for this opportunity will be required to participate in pre-employment requirements, including but not limited to a Police Security Clearance.

My client is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful workplace where individuals are supported in doing their best work.

Apply for this Job

This isn’t a “plug into a box” type of role.  Rather, it is a position that will be formed around you — and that’s very rare and exciting!

My client is intentionally building this position around the right person’s strengths, instincts, and value proposition — not the other way around.

You’ll step into a portfolio that blends commercial assets and a spattering of well-run new development rentals, with a runway to influence how things evolve as the company continues to scale. Meaning, depending on where you naturally lean — and more importantly, where you demonstrate value and get your work joy — the role has the flexibility to become more heavily weighted, if not entirely so, in that area as the business grows –  so it could either be pure commercial or rental. As you can tell, this isn’t a static position; it evolves alongside both you and the organization. As such the title is open as well and will reflect the level of skill you bring to the role.

Progression Is Real

There is a clear line of sight for this role to grow into a Director-level position — grounded not just in performance, but in your emotional intelligence, leadership presence and the application of your overall business acumen.

Your Leadership Is Needed

Your ability to lead people well is very important. You’ll be responsible for a core, high-functioning team. Success here isn’t about hierarchy, it’s about partnership. The expectation is that you develop your team, improve how work gets done, actively listen, and create an environment where people feel heard, respected, and motivated to contribute. This company genuinely believes that every role matters, and that strong teams — not titles — are what drive long-term success, quality, and growth.

You’ll Be Trusted To:

·       Think beyond operations and create value — for the processes, program, assets and tenants

·       Bring ideas forward and challenge the status quo in a constructive and collabrotive way

·       Be seen and build relationships – with your peers and team, on site at your properties and with the tenants

·       Act as an ambassador of a brand that has been quietly built on quality, integrity, and long-term relationships

The Environment You’re Walking Into

This is a no-ego, high-accountability culture.

·       Open, transparent, and grounded

·       Performance-driven without being rigid

·       Supportive without micromanagement

·       Believer in sustainability and environmentally responsible building

·       Genuinely appreciative of their people and what they bring

·       Company cars for during work travel use

They don’t need to boast — their assets, tenants, and track record speak for themselves.

What You Can Expect

You will receive support from the owner, leadership, peers and internal experts. 

From an operations standpoint, my cleint’s engineering, construction and technical teams will jump in and provide an expertise that is deeply embedded in years of experience and know-how — meaning you’re not left figuring things out on your own when properties experience challenge.

Where You Add Your Value

At its core, you will be highly supported to fully own and be accountable for your portfolio and its team.

You’ll:

·       Lead property operations with a focus on performance, efficiency, and long-term asset value

·       Build and execute budgets, forecasts, and performance reporting

·       Meet with commercial brokers and work with the rental leasing team as it relates to vacancy

·       Drive tenant experience and retention through strong relationships and service delivery

·       Oversee maintenance strategies, capital planning, and property standards

·       Lead and develop teams across leasing, maintenance and site operations

·       Collaborate with leadership and accounting to ensure financial alignment and disciplined decision-making

And importantly — you’ll have the space to:

·       Idea generate and improve processes

·       Introduce better ways of doing things

·       See your ideas implemented

What You Bring

You’re possess:

·       6+ years in commercial (industrial, retail, mixed use) or multi-family rental property management

·       Post secondary education or other, along with a current RECA Property Management Liscence (commercial and/or residential rental)

·       A leadership profile and knows how to motivate and elevate a team (operators, leasing, cleaners, maintenance, property administrators, etc)

·       Understand commercial and/or retail leases, contracts, budgeting, forecasting, and operational performance

·       Is both detail-oriented and big-picture capable

·       Is calm under pressure, solutions-focused, and highly organized

·       Builds trust naturally with tenants, teams, and stakeholders

·       Is forward-thinking and tech-aware, not stuck in “how it’s always been done”

But more than anything:

·       You want to apply your full capability

·       You want your work to feel purposeful

·       You want to be in a place where your contribution actually matters

Why This Role Stands Out

·       Life-flexible environment with mutual trust and the ability to garner work joy

·       Excellent salary and benefits opportunity

·       Strong internal infrastructure and support

·       Growing, evolving portfolio

·       Leadership that wants you to succeed — not control how you do it

·       A clear pathway to grow your capacities – into a Director-level role as you prove your impact

·       A real opportunity to shape, not just manage
