Job Summary

We're looking for an experienced Property Manager to establish Kokoda's internal residential leasing and property management function. This is an excellent opportunity to build capability from the ground up and take ownership of a growing portfolio of high-end apartments.

This is You

• You are an experienced, autonomous Property Manager who thrives in fast-paced environments and takes pride in delivering premium service.
• You love creating structure where there is none – designing and refining systems, tools and processes that drive compliance, efficiency and performance.
• You're commercially sharp and know how to manage a property portfolio with care, professionalism and a long-term view.
• You're equally confident speaking to tenants, preparing reports, managing risk, or liaising with legal and finance teams.
• You value doing things properly – with integrity, attention to detail, and the customer at the heart of everything.
• You're excited by the opportunity to help shape a new function in a high-growth company that values initiative, collaboration and trust.

This is Kokoda

At Kokoda Property, we offer inspiring workplaces, rewarding careers and the opportunity to truly make a difference. We don't do the 'norm'; we were built on going against the odds and saying yes, when others say no.

We pride ourselves on delivering superior quality and exceptional customer service, making us a leader within the industry. We seek out others who will come to work every day to make a difference, whether large or small, in the lives of those who work here and to the people who live in the places we build, and they call home. The company currently has projects under management of $2.5 Billion across 2 states and has received various awards for market leading property developments.

For us, it's just as important that you fit within our culture, our values, and our ambitions, as it is that you bring the skills and experience to truly make a difference in the work you do. You are enthusiastic about going the extra mile, testing yourself and seeing what is possible.

About the Opportunity

Reporting to the COO and working closely with Sales, Legal, Finance and Development, you'll take responsibility for:

• Establishing Kokoda's internal Property Management function – designing systems, tools, templates and processes.
• Managing the leasing of premium residential apartments, including inspections, applications, tenant engagement and lease preparation.
• Ensuring compliance with Victorian legislation, trust accounting and holding of tenant funds.
• Implementing systems or software to support portfolio management, documentation and reporting.
• Preparing high-quality reporting on leasing performance, income, and vacancy trends.
• Representing Kokoda in tenancy matters including escalations, negotiations, and VCAT appearances.
• Monitoring market and regulatory trends and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

About You

• 10+ years' experience in residential property management, with at least 3 in a senior or autonomous capacity.
• Proven success in building or leading a high-performing property management function.
• Thorough knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act (Vic), VCAT processes, and leasing compliance.
• Sound understanding of trust account management and documentation best practice.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and reporting capabilities.
• Highly motivated, detail-oriented and solution-focused.

On Offer

We are offering a challenging, rewarding, and inspiring opportunity. You will work in an entrepreneurial culture across Cremorne head office and Malvern Sales Office, which has been specifically designed to support your innovation and inspiration.

If you feel you have the necessary qualities for this role, please tell us in your cover letter why you will be an asset to the company, including your relevant experiences and qualifications.
