Position Overview

We are seeking a high-caliber Office Asset Manager to assume full ownership of the performance, repositioning, and value creation of a portfolio of office assets. This role is responsible for translating investment strategy into execution — driving leasing outcomes, capital deployment, tenant engagement, and operational discipline to maximize returns.

The successful candidate operates with an ownership mindset, holds themselves and others accountable, and approaches every decision with rigor, integrity, and a thoughtful perspective.

Core Responsibilities

Asset Strategy & Business Planning

• Own and execute comprehensive business plans for assigned office assets.
• Continuously evaluate asset positioning, market dynamics, and competitive set to inform strategy.
• Identify risks and opportunities early and drive proactive solutions.

Financial Management & Budgeting

• Own annual operating and capital budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis.
• Drive NOI growth through disciplined expense management and revenue optimization.
• Maintain institutional-quality financial models and valuations to support decision-making.

Leasing, Tenant Engagement & Retention

• Partner with leasing brokers to develop and execute aggressive office leasing strategies aligned with asset objectives.
• Participate directly in lease negotiations, renewals, expansions, and restructures.
• Serve as a senior point of contact for key tenants and lead tenant retention strategies through space solutions, capital investment, and service enhancements.

Capital Projects & Infrastructure

• Lead planning and execution of all capital initiatives, including base-building improvements, infrastructure upgrades, spec suites, tenant fit-outs and amenity enhancements.
• Underwrite capital investments with clear ROI, leasing impact, and strategic rationale.
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to institutional standards.

Amenities, Experience & Ancillary Revenue

• Oversee and evolve the tenant experience, including amenities, programming, and shared services.
• Ensure amenities and services enhance leasing, retention, and asset value — not just operating costs.
• Evaluate and implement ancillary revenue opportunities and alternative income streams.

Operations & Stakeholder Management

• Provide strategic oversight of third-party property management teams, holding them accountable to performance standards and KPIs.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory, safety, and fiduciary requirements.
• Engage constructively with community stakeholders and municipalities where appropriate to support asset objectives.

Reporting, Governance & Transactions

• Deliver clear, concise, and insightful reporting to senior leadership and capital partners.
• Support refinancing, recapitalization, and disposition efforts through data integrity, analysis, and execution support.
• Maintain disciplined governance, documentation, and approval processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, or related field.
• 7 years of commercial real estate experience with meaningful office asset management responsibility.
• Strong financial modeling, budgeting, and valuation capabilities (Excel, ARGUS).
• Demonstrated experience leading capital projects, leasing strategy, and tenant negotiations.
• Excellent communication skills and sound judgment.

What This Role Is Not

• This is not a passive oversight or reporting role.
• This is not a property management position focused on day-to-day execution without strategic accountability.
• This is not a role for someone who escalates problems without first owning solutions.
• This is not a short-term, transaction-only mindset — asset stewardship and long-term value creation matter.
• This is not a place for siloed thinking; collaboration and accountability are non-negotiable.
