Senior Property Manager / Team Leader / Department Manager

At OpenCorp, we're passionate about helping Australians build wealth through property. For more than 20 years, we've built one of Australia's leading property investment businesses through exceptional service, innovation and long-term thinking. 

As our Victorian Property Management business continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced property management professional ready to take the next step in their career. 

Whether you're currently: 

• A Senior Property Manager with several years experience leading a team,  
• An experienced Team Leader wanting to lead a larger operation, or  
• A Department Manager looking for your next challenge,  

We'd love to hear from you. 

We're not simply recruiting based on job title. 

We're looking for someone with the right leadership mindset, commercial thinking and passion for developing people. 

If you're someone who naturally builds strong teams, enjoys solving problems, thinks beyond day-to-day property management and wants to influence the direction of a growing business, we'd love to talk. 

About the Opportunity 

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you'll lead the operational and commercial performance of our Victorian Property Management division. 

This is far more than a traditional Team Leader role. You'll be responsible for developing people, driving operational excellence, improving business performance and contributing to the strategic direction of one of Australia's growing multi-state Property Management businesses. 

You'll work alongside an experienced leadership team while being given genuine autonomy to influence the future direction of the department. 

Key Responsibilities 

As the Victorian Team Leader, you'll be responsible for leading the operational and commercial performance of the Victorian Property Management business while developing a high-performing, engaged team. 

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Lead, coach and develop a team of Property Management professionals, creating a culture built on accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.  
• Own the operational performance of the Victorian Property Management division, ensuring service standards, compliance and client outcomes remain a priority.  
• Develop and execute strategic initiatives aligned with OpenCorp's business objectives and long-term growth plans.  
• Monitor departmental Profit & Loss performance, budgets and key commercial metrics.  
• Analyse financial and operational reporting to identify trends, risks and opportunities, providing recommendations to senior leadership.  
• Develop a strong commercial focus by forecasting workload, resource requirements and business performance to support sustainable growth.  
• Drive continual improvement through technology, data, process optimisation and operational efficiencies.  
• Build leadership capability through coaching, mentoring, succession planning and performance development.  
• Lead performance conversations and create development plans that strengthen capability across the team.  
• Ensure compliance with legislation, company policies and industry best practice.  
• Champion exceptional client experiences through proactive service delivery, client retention initiatives and continuous improvement.  
• Lead complex stakeholder conversations and confidently resolve escalations while balancing customer, team and business outcomes.  
• Partner with cross-functional teams including Onboarding, Leasing, Finance, Acquisitions and Executive Leadership to deliver business initiatives and support company growth.  

About You 

We're looking for someone who is commercially minded, people focused and excited by the opportunity to build and develop a high-performing team. 

You may already be leading a team, or you may be an exceptional Senior Property Manager who is ready to take the next step. 

Either way, you'll bring: 

• Strong Victorian Property Management experience.  
• Demonstrated leadership capability with the ability to coach, influence and develop others.  
• A genuine passion for building high-performing teams.  
• A strong commercial mindset and an interest in how a business grows, scales and creates long-term value.  
• The ability to think beyond your own portfolio and contribute to broader business performance and strategic outcomes.  
• Confidence interpreting KPIs, operational reporting and business performance metrics.  
• Strong strategic thinking and the ability to translate business goals into operational outcomes.  
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.  
• Confidence making decisions, leading change and solving complex problems.  
• A growth mindset with a desire to continually learn and develop as a leader.  
• Strong understanding of Victorian property management legislation and compliance.  
• Lead, strengthen and drive external new business pipelines  
• Current Agent's Representative Certificate (or equivalent).  
• Current Australian Driver's Licence.  

Leadership experience is certainly valued; however, we're equally interested in candidates who demonstrate strong leadership behaviours, commercial thinking and the potential to grow into a significant leadership role. 

We're looking for someone who wants to be more than a great Property Manager. We want someone who is curious about how a business grows, enjoys analysing performance, thinks strategically about client outcomes and operational efficiency, and wants to help build and scale a high-performing Property Management business. 

If you're motivated by the opportunity to influence the direction of a department, develop people and contribute to the long-term success of the business, this could be the leadership opportunity you've been looking for.
