Job Title

Senior Assistant Property Manager (CRE)

Located in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, this 1.8 million square foot Class A office property is currently under the management of a Court-Appointed Receiver and entering an exciting new chapter. Ownership is executing an aggressive value-add strategy focused on significant capital investment, operational improvements, and leasing activity designed to reposition the asset within the New York City office market. We are seeking a hands‑on commercial property management professional who wants to help execute a turnaround, influence building operations from day one, and gain exposure to every aspect of institutional property management.

You'll have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on building operations, tenant experience, and the property's financial performance while working alongside an experienced leadership team. Candidates should have prior commercial office property management experience. Candidates with residential property management experience alone will not satisfy the job requirements.

You’ll serve as a key member of the on‑site management team and will be expected to take ownership of daily operations while supporting the broader repositioning strategy.

Responsibilities include:

• Partner with the General Manager to oversee all day‑to‑day building operations
• Lead and mentor junior property management staff while directing building service personnel and contract vendors
• Build strong relationships with tenants by providing responsive, high‑quality customer service
• Coordinate maintenance, repairs, tenant improvements, and capital projects
• Assist in developing and administering annual operating and capital budgets
• Monitor operating expenses, prepare variance reporting, and support CAM reconciliations
• Oversee accounts receivable, collections, and lease administration
• Conduct routine building inspections to ensure operational excellence and compliance
• Solicit bids, negotiate service contracts, and manage vendor performance
• Coordinate closely with leasing, construction, engineering, ownership, and accounting teams to support leasing activity and occupancy growth
• Identify opportunities to improve building operations, tenant experience, and financial performance

This position requires someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, solving problems, making decisions, and helping drive results.

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited four‑year college or university
• Minimum of three (3) years of commercial property management experience managing commercial office buildings
• Experience with high‑rise commercial office assets is required
• Residential property management experience alone will not be considered
• Strong understanding of commercial building operations, budgeting, lease administration, tenant relations, and vendor management
• Demonstrated ability to lead building service personnel, mentor junior staff, and manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office

• RPA, CPM, or other industry designation (or actively pursuing)
• Active participation in commercial real estate organizations such as BOMA, ULI, NAIOP, IREM, or similar industry organizations
• Involvement with charitable, civic, or community organizations
• Experience supporting capital improvement projects, tenant construction, or office repositioning initiatives

The ideal candidate is a doer—someone who enjoys being in the building, solving operational challenges, mentoring others, and taking ownership rather than waiting for direction. You’ll thrive if you’re looking for a role where your work has an immediate and measurable impact on operations, tenant satisfaction, leasing success, and the property’s financial performance.

• Communication Proficiency (oral and written)
• Problem Solving/Analysis
• Leadership Skills
• Teamwork Orientation
• Time Management Skills
