Portfolio Manager – Building Management (Strata)

Portfolio Manager – Building Management (Strata) Opportunity in Sydney!

Sydney Building Management & Projects (SBMP) is a fast-growing facilities management company servicing strata titled residential and commercial buildings across greater Sydney.

We are seeking an experienced, highly organised Portfolio Manager to lead and oversee a portfolio of buildings and the Building Managers who run them.

This is a leadership-focused role. You won’t be running a building of your own day-to-day, instead, you’ll be accountable for the performance, presentation, compliance, and client satisfaction of every building in your portfolio through the Building Managers who manage them directly.

About the Role As a Portfolio Manager at SBMP, your week is spent leading a team of Building Managers across your portfolio. You will be training, supporting, reviewing performance, and stepping in on complex or escalated matters.

You’ll need to be excellent at managing your own time and workload across multiple sites, and confident delegating to your team rather than trying to do everything yourself. You’ll have the support of the Operations Manager and administration staff, but you will own the outcomes for your portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, train, mentor, and performance manage a team of Building Managers across your portfolio.
• Plan and prioritise your week to provide effective oversight and support across all buildings in your portfolio.
• Delegate tasks and decisions to Building Managers appropriately, providing support without taking over their sites.
• Attend building inspections with your Building Managers at least monthly, providing onsite training and feedback.
• Conduct monthly building performance reviews and 6-monthly staff performance reviews for your team.
• Act as the senior point of contact for Committees, strata managers, residents, and contractors across your portfolio.
• Attend Committee Meetings and General Meetings, presenting reports professionally and confidently.
• Escalate complex, high-risk, or sensitive matters to the Operations Manager or General Manager as required.

What We’re Looking For We are looking for someone with genuine, hands-on experience managing strata titled residential buildings – working directly with Owners Corporations, strata committees, and residents. This is not a role for candidates whose background is purely commercial, corporate, or general facilities management without direct strata exposure.

The right person will be a natural organiser and a confident leader, with proven experience managing more than one strata building, who can coach and develop a team of Building Managers.

Skills & Attributes

• Proven experience managing a portfolio of multiple strata titled buildings, or complex multi scheme.
• Exceptional time management and prioritisation skills across multiple sites and teams.
• Demonstrated ability to delegate effectively, trusting your team while remaining accountable for results.
• Strong leadership, coaching, and mentoring skills.
• Strong customer service and stakeholder management skills, including direct experience managing strata Committees and Owners Corporations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organisation, follow-up, and attention to detail.
• Practical problem-solving skills and a solutions-focused approach.
• Reliable, efficient, resourceful, and proactive.
• Comfortable using computer systems and building management platforms.

Requirements

• Minimum 4 years’ experience specifically in residential strata titled building management.
• At least 1–2 years’ experience in a portfolio management, senior building management, or team leadership capacity.
• Direct experience working with strata Committees, Owners Corporations, and strata managers.
• Full working rights in Australia.
• Australian driver’s licence and access to a vehicle.
• Ability to travel between sites across Sydney as required.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Intermediate-to-advanced computer skills.
• Construction White Card and National Police Check, or willingness to obtain.
