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
