  • Confidence working with lease management or CRE platforms, with exposure to systems such as Portfolio highly regarded
  • Strong financial discipline, including reporting, budgeting, forecasting and portfolio data oversight
  • Relevant property qualifications and real estate licence highly regarded

What you'll get in return
  • Competitive hourly rate of $64.28 +Super
  • Opportunity to join a high profile portfolio environment in a senior contract capacity
  • Exposure to a major corporate client and a complex commercial asset landscape
  • Involvement in an active refurbishment and broader portfolio strategy program
