Are you ready to build something exceptional — not just maintain it?

North Star Commercial Real Estate Advisors is launching a commercial property management division to complement and expand our brokerage platform. This is not a plug-and-play role. We are seeking a seasoned Property Manager who wants real support to grow, clear authority
, and the opportunity to design, lead, and scale a best-in-class operation from the ground up.

If you’ve ever thought, “If I were truly empowered to run this, we’d be far more efficient,” — this is that opportunity.

This is a foundational leadership role
. You will take responsibility for a growing portfolio while simultaneously building the systems, standards, and structure required to scale. Success in this role will be measured by performance, efficiency, clarity, and results — not activity or tenure.

  .
• Systems are documented, repeatable, and scalable.
• Issues are surfaced early and solved decisively.

• 5+ years of commercial property management experience (industrial, office, retail, or mixed-use).
• Strong command of leases, budgets, CAM reconciliations, vendor contracts, and maintenance coordination
  .
• Proven ability to build or improve systems
  , not just operate within them.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — you take initiative, own outcomes, and don’t wait for permission to solve problems.
• Comfortable in an environment with high standards, clear accountability, and direct communication
  .

• Ground-floor leadership opportunity in a growing property management platform.
• Competitive base compensation with performance-based incentives tied to growth and execution
  .
• Direct collaboration with ownership in building a multi-market commercial real estate platform
  .
